1. My ‘secret’ talent and passion is drawing! I did consider getting into animation but my love for psychology is far greater. Naturally, I’m not a very ‘wordy’ person and definitely convey myself better through my photos and drawings.
If you look really closely, you'll see the outline of Buzzlighter from the next page!
Drawing calms me like how baking calms me down!
2. I’m 5 ft 10 inches tall. Yes, that’s pretty darn tall for an Asian. Heck! It’s pretty darn tall for a girl! My height used to be my vulnerability and throughout my whole high school life, I tried to look as short as I physically could (by slouching & hunching!). But now, I couldn’t be happier. And wearing heels make me feel like nothing’s impossible.
It's always easier to find me in crowds!
3. I was a pescetarian for 4 years and a vegetarian for a year.
4. I hate wearing jeans. There! I said it. I have two pairs of jeans sitting in my closet and they haven’t seen the sunlight in years.
5. I’ve visited every single Disneyland in the world including the Disney World in Orlando! And the ones in Hong Kong and Japan, twice! One of my life-long goal is to work for Disney and trust me, if I was offered a non-paying job to sell popcorns, you won’t hear me saying ‘No’. And when I was considering animation, I had only one employer in mind. Yes, Disney!
Side note: Goofy’s my favourite Disney character and I’ve always wanted to be Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty! Who wouldn’t want a magical blue/pink dress right?
Ironically, Snow White is my least favourite Disney princess!
6. As of today, I’ve been to 35 different countries and 54% of them lie in the alluring continent of Europe. I have set foot on some countries more than once but my record goes to Japan (Australia doesn’t count!). Honestly, I’ve lost count but I’m pretty certain that it’s more than 5. And speaking of Japan, I’m heading there during my mid-year break this year!
My Japanese host family's beautiful dining room.
7. I have a huge crush on Alan Rickman. Yup, that’s the Snape guy. Is that weird?
8. I’d rather watch movies with cars, superheroes and explosions than a romantic movie. Transformers and Underworld over any lovey-dovey stuff anytime! But I do have a soft spot for The Notebook.
That explains my favourite art model, Optimus Prime!
9. When my brother and I were younger, my parents would bring us golfing every Sunday. We even had our own golf clubs!
10. Someday in the future, I see myself opening a bakery. I even have the name, interior and menu all planned out in a book. So, one day if you come across ‘Miss Nectarine’, do remember to drop by and say hi!
Now, tell me something interesting about yourself!
And have a lovely Easter weekend!
You are soo good at drawing! Wow, I cant even draw animals and people! :P

4. i haven't worn jeans in years too!
5. i've never been in any disneyworld.
6. oops. i think i've been to fewer than 20 countries.
7. i have a crush on ... ermmm, nobody right now. heh.
8. i'd rather watch a romantic movie. some of my faves are titanic, love actually and eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.
9. i've never swung a real golf club!
10. i'd love to open a cafe, but i think it'll just be one of those daydreams that never happens. heh, my list is terribly boring compared to yours! :D
@Sean
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely not! I really enjoy reading your list!! hmm.. it's interesting how most ppl played around with vegetarianism at least once in their life!
I have to admit.. I have never watched Titanic before!! though, I should watch it at least once before I die! ;)
Wowwww you really are a talented drawer! I am seriously so envious, I am just the WORST at drawing! My mom is amazing though, not sure what happened with me haha
ReplyDeleteAnd WIN for tall gals out there.. we should meet up and wear heels out together :)
@Tessa
ReplyDeleteThank you Tessa:) How funny! My mum's the bad drawer in the family!
YES we should!!!! Proud and tall! :D
My boyfriend works in the animation industry. :)
ReplyDeleteJealous of your extensive travels, you must be rich! ;)
Would love to visit your bakery one day! :D
@leaf (the indolent cook)
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous! hehe I'm jealous of everyone in animation ;)
hehe I do hope that the day will come!!
Thank you for sharing. I used to work for Disney (US) as a financial analyst. The perks were really good but the job scope was super boring. I think you will be better off opening a bakery. =)

ReplyDeleteOh WOW! I'm jealous ;P maybe I'll add a little Disney magic into my bakery! hehe
5 ft 10 inches tall
ReplyDeletenice but too expensive
@Edi
ReplyDeletewhat's expensive? :)
This is cool! I love learning things about other bloggers.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even know there was a disney in Orlando haha.
Alan Rickman, Bill Nighy, Victor Garber, Martin Sheen (not Charlie - ugh)... not weird at all ;)
ReplyDelete@Amy
ReplyDeleteThat was one of my favourite! and it's the biggest Disney around! :P
@Hannah
OMG I have the biggest (well, second biggest) crush on Bill Nighy!! hehe we have awesome taste in men ;)
What a lovely lovely post! Now I seem to know you just that little bit more!! I love Snape's voice :)))))
ReplyDelete@msihua
ReplyDeleteThank you! :D hehe gosh.. that sexy voice..
Interesting list, Vien!!! You really are unpredictable and an interesting character, aren't you? ;) Haha. No. 3 was quite shocking, to be honest but here you are today, food blogger and all! Hehe. And OMG you are a super fortunate girl, you and your family really know how to enjoy life. You're only in your 20s and have travelled more than most ppl would in their lifetime! Good stuff, Vien =D
ReplyDelete@Winston
ReplyDeletehehe ;)
I know! I absolutely enjoy the days when I wasn't eating meat but the dishes I could enjoy was very restricted! Now, I get to eat what everyone's enjoying! aww. thank you!
Wow, what fantastic drawings! You're so talented! I hope one day you can follow your dreams.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny that some of the things you don't like about yourself when growing up, are the things you embrace when you're an adult? I would love to be tall and thin like you are! :)
@April
ReplyDeleteThank you:) That means a lot!
It is! I guess it's the whole adolescence phase where everyone wants to fit in! and it was really awkward being a head taller :P
Hi there am wondering, why did you stop becoming a pescetarian or a vegetarian? Seems like you started in your early teens (you look like you are 18?) I've recently changed my diet to pescetarian. I often wonder about the recovering vegetarians on what made them change their mind. Look forward to your reply :)
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteHi there! I actually stopped because my iron level was really low and my blood test results weren't the prettiest. I was hesitant but my doctor advised me to give it a try. I did feel slightly better and my test results did improve! Though, I still don't it eat often- maybe once a week or fortnight? I'm terribly sorry for the late reply! :)
hi V Vien! Ur food looks great!=) if u don't mindme asking, would love to know how u manage to stay so fit while being able to enjoy so much yummy food?
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteThank you:) When eating, moderation is everything!! And also, I love doing sports and exercising!!!! :D Running, any racket sports, swimming, netball... just some of my favorites!!
