10 little things I appreciate1. Fresh towels. They just have that nice clean feel. I have two. One for my hair and one for my body, so that my wet hair doesn't compromise the freshness of the towel which I use to cuddle myself with after a shower. 2. My mother's cooking Now this is cliche, but only so because everyone can relate to it. My mother's dishes taste like love and familiarity. One day, she will not be around to cook for me, and I will feel lonely; every time I eat something that tastes like health, reduced salt, no MSG, and less sugar, I would want to be reminded of her , so I have to remember the taste of her food well now. 3. Siblings I was with my mom one day while she was at the clinic. I think we were going to check out whether the baby was a boy or girl. She asked me if I wanted a didi or a meimei, and instead if some neutral lovely answer about how I'd love either, I just said that a boy would be better because I'm already a girl (what I meant was that there's already a daughter in the house so a son might be interesting to have). Well, I got my wish:) My brother is here on earth because I wished him here. 4. My tech-savvy dad I don't know how he does it, but he knows everything. I put tech-savvy as a subheader because that's a distinguished talent of his, but he really knows everything beyond that too. While people were gushing about cool looking buildings, he was already ahead of me(I was gushing about nice looking buildings too) and remarked that the form isn't priority - an architect is successful if he or she can design a fluent space. That was before I understood this in architecture school. When I was still easily seduced by pretty buildings. Oh, and he also installed all the computer programmes that I didn't even know about for me before I entered aki. Now it's so convenient because I have all the photoshop, rhino, etc. He's paving the road for me and I'm just walking along, carefree. :) He also knew that Chris was wooing me before I did. (A moment of silence of the wtff??? how did he..??? moment hahaha) 5. My background Too lazy to describe it , but it accounts for all that I am today. Being born there, living here, having choices...these are what makes my journey through life personal and special. 6. Friends They are projections of my self, my hopes, ambition, and comfort. They could be my imaginary friends for all I know, because how else can they know me so well? 7. My values I like myself because I agree with what I believe in. I know you're like "duh", but I like that I am someone who would rather talk than fight, rather save than spend, rather live than strive , and rather comfort than to be comforted. Although sometimes I need the latter..but I have all the above.: #123456 (insert comas yourself cos I'm using phone to blog and it's mafan haha) for that. 8. Breakfast Oh I love breakfast. Pancakes, muesli and fruit in yoghurt, mili, juices, eggs, sausages, porridge, ...oh my god I'm so hungry now. It's 7.16am. Wouldn't have mattered what time it is now though. I still like breakfast when night gals. 9. Steak and salmon Australian beef, jap wagyu, sashimi salmon, cooked salmon in creamy sauces ...my mother's rendition of the above...awesome! I also am partial to salmon belly above all other salmon parts. 10. Shoes I like my sneakers. Slippers are convenient, but I like my sneakers. Pumps match dresses, and are good for presentations, but I like sneakers. 10 little things, non-exhaustive, because there are so many other things I appreciate, such as having black hair, my extended family, my Chris, his family, Kuching laksa and my grandma's rendition (omg I really need to eat that now), my more tan than fair skin, my freaking messy hair that has become a trademark although I mean for it to be neat (trust me, I do comb it), my friends' families (hanxi 'a mom, Esther's mom, wanying's dad...they're a few of the parents that I feel most qinqie with:D), my art and stuff, biology, my past in track and field in primary school, yada yada. :) Just saying. Because I'm awake after having had many sleepless nights doing schoolwork and then having a good crash in dreamland. I have a lot to thank for. Including my aki friends Qisen Sharon and Alvin, for their help , ESPECIALLY for this digital modeling assignment and class. I really really appreciate it although for the lack of time and my eagerness to submit, I didn't produce work that justified all your help. :') Okay going back to sleep now. Sleep is #11 on that list. |
