12 fun facts about myself:

1. I love anime & manga! I'm more into manga now though and goes after those cute ones.

2. I love writing. I'm actually writing fan fics for my all time favourite series: Cardcaptor Sakura. I've been doing so for almost 10 years! I'm now currently striving to work on my first novel (maybe novella for a start).

3. I daydream a lot--during classes, on my way around the city, while watching TV and even before I went to bed. I always think that I'm a thinker--my brain is never quiet.

4. I am learning Japanese and Korean. I passed Japanese Language Proficiency Test Level 4 (lowest grade) by self-studying 2 years ago and stopped due to work. I'm picking it up again now along with Korean which I've been taking classes for. Learning languages is tough but interesting!

5. I listen mostly to Japanese songs, a little Korean and those English songs that my brother happen to blast on the PC.

6. I love to read historical romance. Well, that's what I used to think. Now I'm more into YA books!

7. I procrastinate A LOT! (only during exams period)

8. I love to have many things to do. My mother always say I packed too many things into my schedule.

9. I don't really do shopping (except books!) unless I have things I really need to buy.

10. Guess my favourite shopping place? BOOKSTORES! And you know why.

11. I think myself to sleep, literally. That's when I play with my characters to form a story. Weird huh?

12. I do dream but I always forget what I dream about the moment I wake up.
