The face behind the blog

Jamy from Seay's Kopitiam tagged me on June 27 about my face behind the blog.

Well, I think you guys have seen my photos here and there, so I will skip that part.

Jamy, I put this photo up so you can see the recent me and Fabien. This is taken during the wedding last weekend.


I was born in Klang, Malaysia, went to school in my hometown then university in Kuala Lumpur. After having my BBA degree, I worked for around 6 months in Damansara, then took up an opportunity in Austin, Texas, USA. I worked for around 2 years, during the time I met my French husband. Because of him, I stayed on for my MBA degree for another 2 years after my work contract ended. In 2005 we decided to move to France. I took one year French classes in the local university, and free French classes here and there for another year. We got our civil wedding done in 2006, Malaysian Chinese wedding in Feb 2007 and will have the church wedding in this coming September. We just bought our first apartment and I will return to university right after the church wedding.

Sorry I don't like to tag people, but anyone is welcome to do it if it pleases you.

Ten things you may not want to know about me

I got tagged by colourmecrazy about this topic, I think it's a good chance to look back at myself so here goes the answers:

1. I love money - I'm very sensitive about everything money related but I'm not stingy. Having money in the bank account make me feel safe.

2. I learnt cooking very late - the first time I cooked a full meal was when I was 24. I dislike cooking at the beginning but since I have a very encouraging boyfriend now hubby he gets me to slowly enjoy it.

3. I have very bad sense of direction - when I tell you to go right you should go left.

4. I have lousy level of French - both speaking and writing, even after 2 years living in France.

5. I do not like alcohol - I forced myself to like it but failed. Now I drink wine just to go with the culture and to not disappoint my FIL but in fact I don't know how to appreciate it.

6. I don't like going to bar/pub/disco - I couldn't stand the loud musics, the smoking environment, and the drunk behavior

7. I do not like socialist system, eventhough I'm living in a country applying it.

8. I'm addicted to soup operas, mainly Chinese and Cantonese one. I can watch for hours, eventhough I missed the first 10 episods I still watch it.

9. I don't do much sport. I learnt how to swim but failed.

10. I'm addicted to puzzle eventhough I'm no longer a kid. I'm planning to spend 52 euros for a 6k pieces of puzzle. I would like to pay it myself, so please bear with me if you see more pay post appearing. hehe. Right now I have accumulated $50 from bloggerwave but need to save more for my next puzzle supply. :-)
