10 weird habits

1. I have to munch on something while watching tv... non-stop.
So if the show is 1.5hr long I'll just keep eating tidbit after tidbit until it ends. And if I feel hungry during the long advertisements before my show start, I'll bear with it, wait & plan what time to start cooking so that it'll be ready the minute it start.





2. I like to read while walking.
e.g From the mrt station to westmall to grab a bubble tea before heading home, all while my eyes fixed to the pages. A few times while walking from the mrt to my office, my colleagues told me they're walking behind but daren't call me seeing I'm so engrossed. (It's weird to onlookers, I know. But it's probably more important for me to finish this chapter) This can terrify passerbys & they tend to avoid walking in my path but actually I can see the road ahead of me with my peripheral vision so I can steer myself from my course to avoid ppl!





3. I NEED to use 2 straws to drink soft drink, esp my fav coke (Did you know that the acidity of coke is actually stronger than our stomach acid & even acid rain? /justsaying I still love it) I walk all the way out of the dark cinema theater to get another straw when one dropped.


4. I have an obsession with putting things back in their original place.
Even the slightest rotation or say, when I see somebody casually playing with a nail clipper, or tv remote, turning it round & round. Although it is facing the same direction as it originally was, it just isn't the same. This will get on my nerves & I will be compelled to turn the number of rounds back in the opp direction.

Everytime I go to the library to browse books, I will take one from a shelf & if it doesn't interest me, I will put it back. Sometimes I'm lazy so I'll just push it in behind the last book cos it's easier to slot in at the end. And then I'll start to walk away. And you know what? This happens everytime... I'll get fidgety & think about that book & after 5 steps I'll turn back, exasperated, put the book in its original place, make sure it is correct beside (book title), only then I can walk to the next shelf relieved.





5. I must drink fresh milk after eating maggi mee or potato chips.
And I ONLY eat maggi's curry packet maggi mee & myojo's tom yam bowl maggi mee, & magnolia fresh milk.



6. I pout as I chew my food
Most of my friends have laughed at me about this at some point of time cos it's really quite distinct. My secondary school friends are the ones who noticed this weird gesture of mine but I can't change it! It's just my natural way of chewing!





7. I rock myself to sleep.
When I was little at about age 6 and have trouble sleeping, I'll go into this weird sleeping position (something like kneeling with my ear to the pillow) which would definitely put me to sleep. Doesn't work for me as I grow up now. But in recent years I've unknowingly developed this weird habit of rocking myself to slp. Feels like a baby again haha but no, I know what you're thinking, it's not psychological. I have an ABUNDANCE of motherly love as I grew up!



8. If my left leg stepped on a dark-coloured or elevated tile while walking, my right leg must step on one too, otherwise I'll not feel "balanced". This may have something to do with number 4.



9. Towards the end of a meal, the last thing I put into my mouth must be my favourite food. After I decide imma stop, I will eat that last mouthful that marks the end of my meal. And if somebody ask me to polish off the remaining, I will refuse, unless my fav food is still on the table so that I can end the whole process again. A typical example would be when my friends & I go to a jap restaurant. My fav is salmon sashimi, so although usually ppl will eat that first, I will at least save a piece for that last mouthful.



Ok lastly... 



10. I don't usually get drunk... But when I do, I bite.

Haha these are the memes my girls thought of for my birthday, which they printed out & made ppl take photos with it -.-


Yes I admit, I am dangerous when alcohol is consumed. And to make it worse my alcohol tolerance is not exceptionally good either. Just last week, I got so damn high after JUST THREE glasses. Kailing call me Alicia the terror :/ Either Mink is too generous with their liquor, or I'm too lousy #notsure

But sometimes, I'm better than usual, & I'll think that I'd improved, but will get shoot down by Xingyi & Cheryl. I dunno... Whenever I drink, I'll feel like biting ppl (...) So much so that nobody around me can escape. All of my close friends have gotten it at least once from me, & realllllyyyy good friends will just put out their arm willingly & just let me bite. LOL! Stories I heard include me biting my girl friend's ears, cheeks, thighs, waist, arms, anywhere exposed, that is. I'd once bitten Jolene's earrings off & according to Kexin, after the 3 glasses last wk, I took her arm & bit repeatedly like it was chicken wing.

Simplicity

Sometimes I really think... why is the world we live in so complicated? Relationships between people, politics, mind games, corruption etc. etc. It actually all boils down to one thing: People. Why can't this world be more simple? At least in MY world, I want it to be simple.


I can live with simple food, simple clothes, & a normal lifestyle. It's probably hard to believe but I've grown out of all that. Don't need all the lavish dinners nor branded bags now.. still do use my old ones but have no urge to own new ones anymore. I can be vv happy eating potato porridge for lunch everyday. It's my fav actually. Buying a bag for the first time in 18mths, even a multi-purpose longchamp can make me happier than a YSL.


It's not that I don't have high expectations in life. It's just that, I rather want a simplier, happier life.


Just like this moment. I like this gif of myself cos I see the innocence in me I rarely see. Free of troubles, just happy being myself.






You get away from negative things that make you unhappy, & be more in touch with things that make you happy. What's so complex about this?


Maybe there is simplicity in some third-world countries. I just have to get out of this complicatied urban country we live in.

Instagram ♥

Everytime I logged in to blogger I get a little surprise to see new comments from you lovely ppl :) Neglected this blog for over a year I expect it to be dead by now. So, I'm feeling a lil narcissistic today I'm gonna bombard you guys with my instagram photos ^^


Follow me @aliciatanxt 






I remember the exact date I created instagram- 9th May 2012. It was the 1st outing with my TMG & we booked a night at MBS but it was raining so we were forced to stay indoors. Out of boredom I could only play with my phone. That's the very first photo I posted on top :)






Look! Early in the morning they bomb my whatsapp











Filter




Muahahaha! Random photo: Evidence of me accidentally shredding my colleague's iphone charger







Mink (sorry for the unoriginal captions it's 5am now & I'm lazy to think :x)









Didn't wanna post my holiday pics, but since I took a few using instagram I shall just post a few





OH HI DAVID!



Hunk hunk ;)












OH HOW I LOVE these 2 girls! ♥ When you put us 3 together, something hilarious/embarrassing CONFIRM gonna happen, like an extended joke



BFF & I wearing blue out for dinner, without the other knowing!
(p.s we don't know the girl behind)










My colleague sok sok!

Once again, some holiday pics..
















Filter, then Mink (ARGHH how unoriginal can I get!)





My attire for steamboat: light makeup, leggings, sneakers, loose tee (to cover soon-to-be-bulging tummy) Sometimes I just love dressing casually like this





Out with Wendy & the guys! This was just 2 weeks ago. Haven't met them in more than 6 months or more can you imagine. Haha I made them wait for me to makeup for about 20min :/




The next day... I made it a point not to make them wait again, so this time I prepared early & was ON THE DOT. But Junming & Wendy's brother end up making me wait for an hr!!

I got soooo bored I started playing with instagram. Just this photo alone I created 3 filters lol! But the funny thing is I wasn't mad! I remember exactly how I felt when I'm punctual & someone made me wait, I remember becoming fuming mad like literally ON FIRE, that's how terrible my patience is. But strangely I was as cool as a cucumber this time. Hmmmm.




This is my lazy outfit




Ok shall end with a pic of my grown up nephew Kyler that's taken on Sunday. Time passes too fast!



My instagram are random pics of EVERYTHING, so there's really just a few of my own pics (maybe 1:5?) I might just post my food pics in the next entry, they're making me salivate! 


NOW GO! @aliciatanxt


Been wanting to write down some heartfelt words but kept procrastinating. Ahhh anyway September is here! Events-packed month, really. I already have a feeling it's gonna be a good good month ;)
