12 Things about Me

Yesterday, my team lead asked me to provide two lies and one true fact about myself for our weekly team activity. I've actually been meaning to write about these fun facts about me for my blog. So I just thought that why not list down all the twelves instead of just three. And here are my 12 fun facts but, can you guess which one is a lie?

1. I was born on 5th July 1996, which makes me 25 this year and considered old by the young tik-tokers.
2. I'm obsessed with purple. I plan to set up my work-from-home workspace in purple, but it's so hard to find a purple keyboard and mouse that I like. Sometimes I'm jealous of pink lovers out there because, unlike purple, pink stuff is everywhere. Luckily, I found this cute keyboard from Amazon. I can't wait for my WFH allowance to set up my new workspace!
3. I love Kpop. My current favorite groups are EXO and NCT. Recently, Exo and NCT are having four consecutive comebacks, starting from NCT Dream's first full album, EXO's special album, NCT Dream's repackage album, Kyungsoo's first solo album, and NCT 127 just announced their comeback in September. SM is really trying to rip me off.
4. I enjoy traveling. I've traveled to many places, but if you'd ask me which country I wish to revisit, it would be London, Paris, Turkey, and Korea since I feel like I haven't explored them all enough during my last trip.
5. Listening to podcasts/kpop is my way of finding my joy when working. My work is quite monotonous, and sometimes I feel sleepy while working, so I definitely need this to stay focused (Yes, coach, I'm doing my homework). My most listened-to podcasts are; The Lively Show, Aida Azlin, The Mind Valley, The Minimalist and Thank you for asking.
6. I love journaling, in fact, I started journaling when I was 18, but my journal back then was so messy. It didn't seem like a proper journal until the last two years. I began to learn to doodle, bought colorful pens, few stickers, and started to decorate my bullet journal. Few of my friends asked how I could consistently keep up with my journaling. To clarify, sometimes, when I am too busy and don't feel it, I just don't do it. Bullet journaling is supposed to be enjoyable, make our lives easier and more productive. I do journaling to relieve my stress, so if you feel journaling is not contributing to any of those aspects, that's totally fine.
7. The recommendations that came out on my Youtube are mostly about Kpop, Kdrama clips (since I watch clips before deciding if the drama is worth watching), home/room decor (it's fun to watch pretty house/room of others), dog training which is weird since I don't like pet even dogs and journaling for inspiration.
8. I do stretching every weekend to loosen up my muscle as we all have been staying home for a year or more because of lockdown, and my work requires me to sit all day in front of the computer, in fact, I once went to a clinic due to my muscle tension so yeah, stretching is vital.
9. I was once chased by a dog when traveling to Bali. I forgot that I could actually turn around and scare it off, my brain was so in panic mode, and I just couldn't process what I should do at that moment, so I just ran!
10. I'm a coffee lover. I used to need coffee every morning but have been reducing my intake for the last few months because of our broken coffee machine, and now I'm considering buying a new coffee maker ;)
11. I'm a homebody and an introvert. I'm comfortable staying at my home, and I recharge my battery by spending my time alone. Still, this pandemic lately makes me craving for human interaction.
12. I've always liked art, I love to draw and paint, but my hand just won't listen...

By the way, why is sharing these random facts on my blog is less embarrassing than playing with my colleagues?
