About Me

What to say about me? I'm just an ordinary girl - born and raised in Singapore/Hong Kong and currently living and working in the Northeast of England. It's been a lonely journey to independence, but I've learnt lots along the way as well.

I just recently got into swapping, having acquired a thrift swap buddy who lives in the US, and reckon it'll be a fun hobby to embark on as I love receiving and sending things by snail mail!

By and large, these are the things that make my eyes shine bright:

♥ Lipgloss (!!!) ♥ Beautiful lace and embroidery ♥ Rainy days curling up in front of the fire ♥ Traditional Chinese embroidery/clothing/hairpieces ♥ Peranakan (Straits Chinese) objects/clothing etc. ♥ Broderie anglaise ♥ Teddy bears ♥ Vintage dresses ♥ Photography ♥ High heels (I'm 5ft 1, so I need the boost!) ♥ Paisley ♥ Thrifting and rooting through dusty stores for special finds ♥ Summer and winter ♥ Flowers ♥ Alice in Wonderland and other whimsical things ♥ Cupcakes ♥ Eccentric little things ♥ Perfume ♥ Korean ♥ Thick-framed glasses ♥ Japanese ♥ Pink ♥ Brocade ♥ Days at the beach ♥ Pastel colours ♥ Headpieces ♥ Rococo ♥ Glitter ♥ Faded photographs ♥ Jewel-encrusted trinkets ♥ Vintage pearls and faux gold, especially rose gold

For my partner in the Candy swap - I love gummy sweets, milk chocolate, Pocky, viennese biscuits and Reese's peanut butter cups (which I can't get in the UK! T^T) but really, I'm not picky 'cuz candy is candy ^_^

As well as looking to participate in fun swaps, I'd like to hopefully gain some good friends too. ♥♥♥

Favorite Music

I love lots of music, and am always open to exploring new genres/styles. But generally I like:

♥ The Beatles ♥ �?�방신기 (Dong Bang Shin Ki) ♥ Ella Fitzgerald ♥ 陶�?��?� (David Tao) ♥ 林俊�?� (JJ Lin) ♥ Something Corporate ♥ 周�?�伦 (Jay Chou) ♥ Camera Obscura ♥ Dashboard Confessional ♥ �?�루 (Eru) ♥ Brown Eyed Girls ♥ Jack Johnson ♥ Elliott Smith ♥ Jake Shimabukuro (the song I want to walk down the aisle to is by him) ♥ Motion City Soundtrack ♥ Amy Winehouse ♥ The Click Five ♥ Duffy ♥ Paolo Nutini ♥ 五月天(Mayday) ♥ Faithless ♥ The Beach Boys ♥ Jason Mraz ♥ Clazziquai ♥ Younha

I might add to this list as I think of more... :)

Favorite Books

♥ This is so trend, but I love Terry Pratchett books - his prose is witty and always makes me laugh. Not to mention that his quotes are typically classic. ♥ The Great Gatsby ♥ Romeo and Juliet ♥ The Grass Harp ♥ Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy ♥ Vile Bodies ♥ The Handmaid's Tale ♥ To Kill A Mockingbird ♥ Beautiful novels that tell stories of love, loss, friendships and finding oneself.

Favorite Movies

♥ Breakfast at Tiffany's ♥ Love's Labours Lost ♥ Anything by Tim Burton ♥ The Accuracy of Death ♥ Ten Things I Hate About You ♥ The Monty Python Movies ♥ The Wizard of Oz ♥ Empire Records ♥ Back to the Future ♥ Infernal Affairs ♥ 50 First Dates ♥ Lilo and Stitch ♥ The Wedding Singer ♥ Coming to America

Favorite Television

♥ The Mighty Boosh ♥ All three CSIs ♥ Pushing Daisies ♥ Friends ♥ Peep Show ♥ Heroes ♥ 8 Out of 10 Cats ♥ Sex and the City ♥ Goong ♥ I'm Sorry, I Love You ♥ Scrubs ♥ The short-lived Wonderfalls

Favorite Crafts

♥ Cross stitching ♥ Embroidery ♥ Scrapbooking ♥ Jewellery making (I'm currently learning how to do this) ♥ Origami ♥ Painting ♥ Sewing little stuffed toys made from felt and cotton wool. My specialty is 'Breadie', a little piece of toast made from felt.

The Opposite of Favourite

x Too much tack, in a bad way x Photo frames x Creepy dolls x Horror/scary things x Too-big jewellery x Neon x Lycra x Chav/rave/overly teenybopper stuff x Unfriendly people :(

Comment: Hi Tanya, I just got my parcel today (gosh it arrived quick)! Everything is perfect, and you picked stuff that matched my profile really well! I really liked that you choose some of the more unusual things, like the bridge photos and the instructions for the purse! Thankyou so much, I adore it all!
Response: Thanks! I'm glad it all got there in one piece - I had a bit of a think about the bridge photos, but I thought it would be nice to stick to the swap brief and let you have a glimpse of where I live as well :D You're most welcome!
