Do You Really Wanna Know?

I have been tagged by Naz (I think she has seen the dearth of activity in here and purposely tagged me.) And so today finally I'm gonna get my butt off the lazy chair and do it.

24 Useless Facts About Me

1) I hate the colour purple. Dun know why. I just do.

2) I had a HUGE crush on Fandi Ahmad when I was 12. When I say huge, I mean
HUMONGOUSLY HUGE!!! I would cut out every picture of him and attend every event he was at.

3) I was super gullible as a child and was always bullied by my male cousins. Once they tricked me we were going to the beach and asked me to sit quietly at the back of my uncle's parked station wagon. I sat there for a full 20 mins sweating like a pig while my 2 cousins were sitting in the cool comfort of the house watching tv.

4) I am a "Climacophobia" - I have a phobia of steep stairs, the overhead bridge kind and stairs with crevices underneath. And I have a recurring dream of tumbling down the stairs.

5) I loathe folding clothes. Give me the ironing, mopping, cooking n any other household task anytime but no folding please!!!! That's why I have a 12-foot cupboard so I can hang everything on hangers.

6) I loooorve prawns. I'll eat anything** with prawns in it!!!! (**anything here excludes no 8)

7) The Don and I call each other 10 times a day and that's the absolute minimum. Our smses are uncountable. My girlfriends can't stand it and they always sigh and roll their eyes whenever I'm with them and my phone rings!!!

8) Mushrooms and beansprouts are two things I will never, never eat, not even at gunpoint.

9) Words tend to bypass my brain and leave my mouth. And leave a stinging wound to the people who are hit.

10) I had asthma as a child and will do anything within my power never to see another being suffer the way I did.

11) I have never been hospitalised and when I was young I used to fantasize what it felt like. I don't tink I wanna know now!!

12) I hate watching horror movies. I feel so cheated at the end of every movie I see. Like I paid someone ten bucks to gimme a slap.

13) I'm stupid with my hands. Creativity is something that is just not in my genes.

14) Water is to plants as shopping is to me. I'd wither and die without it.

15) I have only ever had one boyfriend in my life and he is now my husband. And no, I do not wish I had more. (boyfriends, that is, not husbands! hehehe)

16) I have very few people in my life I consider friends and these few are very precious to me. And no, I do not wish I had more too.

17) I can't drive and I really, really don't think I was wired to, despite The Don's attempts to sign me up for driving classes.

18) I am a worrier but I realised it is exactly this trait that has made me the well-prepared person that I am.

19) I have a bithmark the shape of a paw on my right upper arm.

20) I have a mole in my left ear, on my lips and 8 others on my face. Its not so obvious as to be immediately visible. But it's definitly there.

21) My third finger on both hands are a bit curved in. I never knew why.

22) I finally figured my heritage. I'm 50% Arab, 25% Indian & 25% Malay. Rough estimation. Exact percentage still unknown.

23) Patience is a virtue I have yet to acquire. I hope I will acquire it someday. Soon.

24) I'm PREGNANT! and we will be expecting our first-born sometime in Dec.
