As you people know, my dearest smart GIRLFRIEND has set for me 8 questions which I have to chose 4 out of the 8 and answer them. Although I do not have to physically study for it, I am sure its gonna kill more brain cells compared to the actual UOL exams which I am supposed to take in like 4 days time. Oh well, since I'm always being such a good sport, I shall entertain her by attempting 4 questions as she requested. Here goes.....

2. What are the good and bad characteristics of Julia that captured your attention?

Very often, people always say love is blind and that couples tend to overlook the bad points of their "Significant Other" when they are in a relationship. For me, my mentality is that I will tend to focus on the bad points of the girl I fancy rather than on the good points. Why is it so? If I can accept her really bad points, I am pretty sure that I will not regret my decision to choose to be with her in the future as I have already accepted her for who she is.

Now I shall describe a few good/bad characteristics of my girlfriend.

1) Her "thrifty-ness"

Personally, I have come across tons of girls who would spend money without much thoughts and would spend every single cent in their bank account. I wouldn't say that my GF doesn't spend any money but rather, she understands the meaning of SAVING money and how not to waste money on things that she really doesn't need. I can guarantee that every single cent that comes out from her pocket will be well spent. And yes, she comes from a well-to-do family, and most people would expect her to be clad in branded goods and stuffs but does she even buy branded goods in the first place? Even though I am sure she can jolly well afford it. Although its still very early to say if this habit of hers would persist in the future, but at least I know that for now, she would not be lugging me to LV or Chanel boutique to do her shopping. Thank God.

2) Her "Ka Kin-ness"

My GF is one of the most "efficient" girls that I have witnessed in the past 25 years of my life. Even a PK(Procrastinating King) like me is influenced by her and have in turn become almost as efficient as her. Every date with her is well planned beforehand and carried out smoothly to maximize both our time. When I was single, I usually do not plan my days in advanced and leave it to the last minute to do whatever I feel like doing. Now that I am attached to a "Ka Kin Queen", my next day are sort of discussed and planned the night before I get to sleep and all I have to do is to carry them out when the sun rises. I would say it was quite an experience for me as it was something I have never felt before. I feel that my life is more "organised" now compared to last time. The only drawback I felt about being too "efficient" is that sometimes we tend to miss out the process of enjoying an activity as we get things done too quickly.

3) Her "impatient-ness"

Almost all her friends know JULIA TAN knows that she is somebody who HATES to wait for people or things. Contrarily, I am somebody who has lots of patience and would not complain a single bit for having to wait. Maybe it was because I was trained in the army to wait for instructions or maybe I have a bunch of friends who would constantly be late and I would have to wait for them. I guessed that it was her reluctance to wait that lead her to becoming such an "efficient" person. The bad thing about this special "characteristic" of hers is that, sometimes, she would be rushing me for certain things and demand an outcome which would be less desirable compared to if I were to do it at my pace and things might turn out better.(Agency cost of impatience) Overall, I would say I have grew accustomed to it and is coping well with it.

In conclusion, the above points are just a few main characteristics of my girlfriend which are quite interesting and are not exhaustive. I am sure all her friends will notice something special about Julia that has captured their attention in their own way.

4. Describe Julia's habits that are unique to her and that you find particularly interesting.

My girlfriend has just too many habits that are that unique and I could list a super duper long list of them. I shall just list 5 of the most interesting ones and you guys will might be shocked by them.

1) "Just Follow Law"

Julia Tan is a very very good citizen who just does not break the law in any way. She doesn't illegal park her car even though all the lots are taken. She insist on tearing carpark coupons only to realise that parking is free, only after looking at the signboard. She does not litter. She observes the speed limit religiously. She rather queue behind a long queue of car than to overtake the next lane which has no cars. Can you imagine if all drivers are like her, all the Fatimahs and Uncle Sam would be out of job because there would not be cars for them to issue summons?

2) She likes to pass things to me through her mouth.

Let me explain. Julia Tan got this weird habit of passing small stuffs through her mouth and into my mouth. First, it was some sweets like Ricola and Clorect. There are times when I was driving and she would kiss me and use her tongue to push the sweets over to me. Sometimes I would least expect anything more than a kiss and "POP", a half eaten cloret would appear in my mouth. Then i will go "WTF!!!", and force it back into her mouth. All these are nothing compared to the time when she actually bit her finger nail and sneakily pass the "fresh-out-of-the-oven" bitten nail into my mouth while forcing a kiss on me. Can you imagine how gross it was? I can never forget the "sly" look on her face and her evil laughter after she did such a disgusting act.

3) Her phobias

My girlfriend has tons of phobias and she seems to be afraid of everything. She's scared to take the lift alone for the fear of being trapped inside alone. She's afraid of heights of more than 3 storeys. But there is one thing which I could not understand, which is the fact that she will not allow friends to lean against the edge of the wall whenever we are at the 4th storey of the SIM building. If she is afraid of heights, she can jolly well stay away from the edges of the wall, but why she will not allow her friends to stand near it if her friends are not afraid of heights? Unless she is afraid that her friends will lose their balance and fall down? If that is really true, then this would have added itself to her list of phobias. HAHA. She is even afraid to open a trading account on her own when she wanted to start trading on the SGX and insist that I accompany her. OMG!!! I think she would be a decent candidate for the guiness book of record for the most number of phobias. =X

4) Her eating habits

Everybody know that eating is Julia Tan's life. She loves good food and that is also her weakest point. Tempt her with good food and you have just earned yourself a date with the princess. Although she loves food, she can be very picky with her food too. But the interesting part her is, that she will still eat certain food that she dislike provided it was prepared in another different way. For example, she will still eat tau gey provided it was cooked with tau gua or stir fried on the teppanyaki table. And also, she can only eat with a round headed chopstick instead of the squared ones. So those kind where you get from ta baoed food and you have to break into 2 before you can use them are definitely out for her. And she always orders the same thing every time we go back to the same restaurant on a return visit. Example, chicken and crayfish combo at Jack's place, fried golden mushroom and XO sauce mee pok and Hua Ting. This led me to think that she has a phobia of changing her choices of food for the fear that other food might not be as nice. So I would say that all her habits surrounds all phobias.

5) Her shopping habits

My girlfriend is self proclaimed shopping queen. I seriously do not understand why anybody would need more than 40 bags and 5284738947694 watches. Do you even use all of them? Or do you wear like 10 watches on your arms everyday? I JUST DON'T GET IT. I understand the point of getting different designs but same designs and of different colour? I gave up understanding. Maybe its something that guys don't get it? Or maybe its just me?

As you all can see, my GF really does have a number of unique habits which is really very interesting and I am fascinated/stunned by them too.

I have been "ordered" by the "examiner" which is my girlfriend, Julia Tan to stop at 2 questions and resume the remaining 2 next week because I have to study for my exams which is like this Friday. Time to put my really "interesting" girlfriend to sleep and she's like waiting for me. I gotta ka kin wrap up this entry before she skins me alive and now you all know how much she HATES to wait for people.

All the best for those taking exams. Study hard and you shall do well. =)
