I stumbled upon a note I wrote 11 years ago. This notes was written on a tipsy night. I type without thinking or considering. I just want to express myself that night. I named the post ” Couple of things”
I guess this is my Scarlett, my “Red” time when I need to expose myself, to put my foot down, to mark my very existence. The column on the left is published with all my friends commenting on it. 11 year later, the column on the right is published just for me.

| 1 | I can only drink sweet alcohol or mix .. vodka shot or tequila shot is the worst … although sometimes it’s faster to get drunk | I’m still the same. I can not drink bitter drinks, I never take any shots again. And I don’t like to get drunk anymore. |
| 2 | Hate to dress up to go to club | I no longer go to club. And I still don’t like to dress up. It’s tiring. |
| 3 | Can lose interest easily. | I’m getting so much better in this department. I picked the thing I like and stick with it. |
| 4 | Like to read news and books | Same same but different. I don’t read a lot of news nowadays, and I listen to books rather than read. Audible has been a great help |
| 5 | Love to shopping alone ( so that there’s noone is waiting and just do whatever you want) | Still the same, well, I don’t like shopping altogether. |
| 6 | Spiritual but not religious ( meaning not believing in any religion but still afraid of ghost 🙁 ) | This, it’s still the same. Nothing changed. |
| 7 | Love to buy stuffs for people but sometimes it’s so cute, I kept it for myself | My love language is giving gift. I still do the same, but rather than keeping for myself. I bought 2 😀 |
| 8 | I DO talk a lot 🙂 .. | I think you knew. I talked so much and it’s not enough, so I had to spend my night time talking in this journal too. I’m so sorry for you having to hear my rambling |
| 9 | Can make friends easily, can easily talk to stranger | I still can. It’s a skill. But I don’t like to use that skill anymore. It’s tiring. I’d like to talk to nobody |
| 10 | Believe in Grey rather than black and white, meaning there’s always something between not just right or wrong | I don’t know what happened. But along the way, I go for black and white. I tend to shift to Grey nowadays but still.. |
| 11 | Love cooking and baking | Who would have thought, my hobbies, became my career. I’ve never worked a day since then. |
| 12 | Always wake up early | I am an early person. Has always been an earlier one when I want to |
| 13 | Love to kiss and be kissed | I still am. Unfortunately, I have been living without kiss in the last 365 days. It is sad, and I determined to fix it. I need love and kisses to fulfill my very soul. |
| 14 | Favorite drink: Jack Daniel with coke | Hendrick Gin with Soda and lime |
| 15 | Favorite cocktails: Singapore Sling | Negroni |
| 16 | Alcohol tolerance : 2/10 | 0/10 |
| 17 | Go to sleep without clothes sometimes | I get cold, I need long pants to be warm these days. |
| 18 | Is on time | I’m quite on time nowadays too. People can be late, I can be late but as long as they inform me. I get particularly annoyed when ppl showed up late, without telling or talking to me. A text is not that hard to send |
| 19 | Is arrogant as fuck | I’m still just as much as arrogant as I used to be. But I kept it to myself |
| 20 | Love to love and be loved |
