Cleo's Unofficial Most Eligible Bachelorette

I flipped through this month's issue of Cleo and it's the season for 50 Most Eligible Bachelors! I don't know why, year by year, I'm starting to think the guys are getting less erm... eligible haha :p Nah, it's probably they're not within my requirements or that I've already set my eyes on the best guy ever *wink*

I checked out the profiles of each bachelor and each one of them has to answer some interesting questions.

So here's to you: The questions for me, Cleo's Unofficial Most Eligible Bachelorette!
(adapted from the original questions for the guys)

Describe yourself
Melancholic yet sanguine, practical yet idealistic, boring yet with a punch of surprises. How contrasting!

Success is
when you reach the end and you look back with no regret because you have done something you'll be proud to show to your Maker when you meet Him up there later.

People say I look like
part of my mom and part of my dad. Makes sense, eh? But obviously I don't look like the celebrity who shares my name.

My biggest fear is
the dark and the darkness that comes with it. Well, maybe it's because the things my mind like to play inside.

What is the best compliment you've gotten?
When someone told me that there's something in me that sets me apart from other people that person watches... I can only give the credit to God for this...

Your celebrity dream date is
either Matthew McConaughey or Justin Long. I still can't decide which one.

My first ever boyfriend would say I am
always too busy with everything

If your ideal man is a coffee, he'd taste
awful. I can't take coffee. Can he be tea, please? I love tea, and he'd taste like pu er cha if he's a tea. Goes through bitter times together, yet deep down, everything is so sweet and soothing...

What's the biggest fashion turn-off?
Shiny pants or shirts. Oh, and add pink colour to that list too.

I like it when a man wears
a nice fit knitted top.

What do you have in your grooming closet?
For now, my cosmestic set (plus bursh kit), manicure set and skincare set.

If you could invent anything for men, what would it be?
A self-organising wardrobe so a man can safely pick a well-coordinated outfit for the day, for any need and occassion.

The last time I teared up was
when I tripped over my male friend's weight bar. The pain on my poor foot was so unbearable. That weight bar didn't even move!

The albums I have on rotation are
Heavenly Voices compilation album - both CDs.

My relationship deal-breaker is
unfaithfulness.

Biggest turn-ons about a man are
his heart, his brain and his athletic figure.

I get fired up over
interesting challenges, activities, debates and discussions. And also high-energy scenarios.

Most people don't know I'm
addicted to DotA, PS games and other video games at times.

My guilty pleasure is
sleeping when I'm supposed to be awake.

When I'm a mother, the advice I'd give my teenage son is
to treat all elder women like mother and all ladies and girls as sisters.

When I'm a mother, the advice I'd give my teenage daugther is
that I want to and I can be her best friend too! C'mon fashion, boys, shopping... only your mother can pay for you, not your friends.

Most romantic thing you've done?
I made a trip all the way to my friend' shop in another state just to customise a dog tag for a man for Valentine's day

What did you do last night?
Watched Bones and NCIS. Onlined and chatted. Read many missed issues of Reader's Digest. Chatted with Eve till morning. Long night eh?

My best pick-up line is
(I think this question is more suited to guys, not girls)

My biggest regret is
that I didn't reach out to certain people when they needed me before they die...

I think Rihanna should
be able to iron out issues with Chris Brown without us making interfering judgments. She's a grown-up already! Leave her alone.

The lost family time...

After slugging my entire final academic year on my experiments and neglecting my family, finally, all those missed holidays (CNY also - don't gasp), I'm going to make it up for them this week before I go back to Penang for my thesis presentation...

Oh ya on another note, my backpacking blog is up already. Do check it out at http://lynx-with-a-backpack.blogspot.com/

Cheers!

A routine that just got messed up

Finally!

I submitted my thesis draft on April 3!

For once, I felt a very heavy weight being lifted off my shoulders.
But at the same time, it left quite a hole inside.

I've working too hard on it, I've forgotten how was my life like before my FYP came in.

The next day, I woke up and prepared to go to lab, just to realise that I no longer have experiments to perform. So I cleaned up my lab.

The next day after, I ended up in my lab. Since there was nothing more to clean up from my side, I ended up cleaning up my coursemates' side a bit. Unable to progress (I can only return my lab apparatus to the store next month and my viva's 4 weeks away), I ended up in my supervisor's office, faculty's office and other people's office haha :p

The next day after (again), I surrenderred and picked up DotA where I left it. And that's the beginning of my found-again so-called addiction, playing till well past midnight for many nights in Matt's place, where laptops and kakis await me earnestly. Thanks Abe, Ed, Paul and Nguei for that fun! I've finally rediscovered my fingerwork in DotA~!

Wow, I'm supposed to study for my exam the week after the next. And as I am typing this, I am now in my parents' house in Sungai Petani, on a binge of months' worth of Reader's Digest, Internet sessions and rounds of Clue and Risk with Sue and Wei. I'm supposed to study for BGT314 which is scheduled two days' time.

Yeah Matt, you're right. I've got senioritis, a common condition affecting final-years.
Help!
I want to stay like this forever :p
