Thursday Thirteen #1: 13 Random Facts about Me
Â
Â
Â
1. I am an only child.
2. My first degree is in Law.
3. I hated Advanced Mathematics. It’s beyond me why I still decided to take up A Level Mathematics.
4. My first real job is at Citibank, Singapore.
5. My life motto is “Live as if you were to die tomorrow; learn as if you were to live forever.” - Gandhi
6. Jamie and I want 3 kids. One down, two more to go. 
7. My first pet dog’s name is Lucky. Named after the dog in Mr Galliano’s Circus. If you read Enid Blyton books when you were young, you will know what I am talking about.
8. My proudest outdoor achievement is completing my Duke of Edinburgh award expedition segment where I had to carry a 12kg bag and walk for 15km for 3 days. Plus setting up camp and cooking my own dinner.
9. Never in my wildest dream have I thought I will set up a dating service. If you have to know, my childhood dream was to be a lawyer + a doctor. Haha!
10. My favourite soft drink is the Iced Milk Tea at MOS Burger. Well, it’s not exactly a soft drink, but it’s something you can get at a fast food chain.
11. My favourite burger at McDonald’s is Filet o Fish. I think I have been eating the same burger for the last 20 years!
12. My favourite local fare… it has to be a tie between chicken rice and char koay teow and katong laksa. Haha! I just cannot decide!
13. And last but not least, I can bend my left thumb backwards. Yes, freaky. I know.

It was fun getting to learn about you! Wow, a dating service, that would actually be interesting! But I have no idea what the foods are, lol. Except my absolute favorite, Mc D’s filet o’ fish, without the cheese!

Hey what happened to rest of my comment? Anyways, I was gonna ask if this particular meme should only be done on a Thursday as its title suggests…
