25 Random Things About Me
So happy to see my 1 yr old niece and 4 yrs old nephew every night when I come home from work. So nice to live with them and my sister, brother-in-law, mom and dad.
1) I came from Hong Kong and I missed HK a lot…. The food & shopping part.
2) I came to SF as an international student in the beginning. SO expensive. (Thanks mom! Thanks sister!)
3) I am now a citizen. I missed HK but I don’t want to go back for work.
4) I love food but always want to lose some weight…. Always admire the skinny long legs in mini skirt.
5) A true believer of “There is no ugly women, but only lazy women.”
6) Try all the time to maintain my young look. Not only for my bf, but for myself also.
7) Biggest entertainment at home is to watch/search the most current TVB series even though 99% know what the script will be about.
9) Always want to say “I love you” in Chinese to my parents but too shy to do so. Without them, without me. Without my mom, without my smooth face. Thanks for all the food and soups they prepare everyday. Thanks for digging out my dirty clothes and clean them by hands. Thanks…
10) Without coming to SF, I will definitely not the one who I am now. I maybe am still working from morning till midnight for a bit of salary.
11) I came from a middle class family that both parents work hard. We was at the bottomBefore immigrated to SF, we don’t have a house.
12) I want to be rich. Either I can meet someone rich or I can earn by myself. But since I know I won’t meet someone rich, I am concurrently looking for my 2nd part-time job.
13) I love to cook. However, not the regular Chinese food since it’s too hard to compete with my mom. I always cook other Asian food, or non-Asian food.

15) I am afraid of the sun. True believer of “White = beauty”.
16) Hate people using dirty language as adjective. Why?
17) Want my parents to stay healthy and livelonger.
18) Hate people not respecting the cyber world. Saw some forum that people just scold and scold without a point. Just like they point to leave a message is just to point fingers and yell without reason.
19) Thought of learning Japanese, but only know how to court numbers from 1-10 and a few words only.
20) A lover of Japanese food. Uni is my favorite.
21) Doesn’t want to get married cause I still want to live with my whole family. I still want to be spoiled as a daughter.
22) Want to have my own house when I get married.
23) Lack of friends… holiday? Family or bf or self. Can I have more real friends who I can talk to?
24) Every year one of my birthday wishes is “world peace”. I guess my birthday wish will never come true.
25) Still very weak in writing or speaking English even though have been in USA for 10 years. Want to learn more vocabulary.
