I’m so vain, I bet you this post is about me
25 Random Facts about me from Facebook chain note.
1. I have an extensively detailed fantasy-fiction world existing in my head. I’ve been developing it since the 5th grade, ever since I fell in love with “The Neverending Story” [book & movie]. I have all the characters and the mythology worked out. It would probably take hours to explain it to anybody. One day, it will be written out on novel form. . .I hope anyway.
2. I always cry when I watch the movie “Farewell My Concubine,” sometimes two or three times, especially during the Cultural Revolution scenes.
3. I wear heels exclusively because 5′2 is a sad state of existence. Even my so called “flats” have at least 2 inches.
4. Even with my hair tied up, I always make sure to leave a few strands around my face to mask its roundness. I call my face a pancake face, it’s round, flat and retarded-looking.
5. My family operated a Chinese restaurant 7 days a week for 17 years. My dad cooked, my mom waited the tables. I was washing dishes and running the cash registers at 10 years old while my grandmother worked as the fry cook. When I was three, the four of us were living in one cramped bedroom in an 2-room apartment shared with 3 other immigrants. We basically scrimped and saved our way to a middle class status.
6. I could not read or write until the late into the first grade because I spoke Cantonese at home. I was actually held back for awhile in kindergarten because I couldn’t talk to my teachers.
