Well, CN- read her birthday post and scolded me for making her sound like cleanliness freak or Bree-ish. I obviously didn’t mean it that way at all. I guess I should revise my 10 things about her. One statement about her neat-ness is probably more than enough…
1. She’s also my only friend who can reply text messages via SMS at lightning speed (apart from my sister).
2. She’s extremely neat and tidy. She puts her books away after she reads them, and she reads only one book at a time. Every book has their designated place on the shelf. Kumar and Clark goes here, ECG Made Easy goes there…everything parallel to the edge of the table.
3. She loves to listen to Hitz.fm and to call in to enter the competitions. She has won us a couple of freebies, including free tickets to watch Herbie. (Yup, she was one of those who honked a song on the radio)
4. She has very small eyes, thus when she smiles, all you see is two slits. I’ve always wondered how she sees the world through such a small aperture, but then will always remind me that one sees through the pupil (the black center), not the iris (the surrounding dark brown, blue, green circle).
5. She is a real consultant when it comes to packing. She really has the art of compressing tons of stuff into a small enclosed container/box. Something like how Merlin packs everything into one small bag…
6. She likes to listen to the lyrics of songs and interprete their meaning as well as the composer’s feelings.
7. She loves kids and can handle babies very well. She just taught me how to carry babies recently without squashing them.
8. She loves to eat, anything and everything (when she’s happy and in the mood, that is). Except papayas. She ain’t like papayas.
9. She loves sushi and ramen too. Speaking of which, she was the one who so kindly lent me her pot and hotplate so that I could make ‘delicious’ room-made ramen which she hasn’t tasted yet.
10. She’s one of those who will patiently listen to me ramble on about my shitty life and actually miss my ramblings when I’m not around.
