A: if you were an animal, what would you be?
dont worry, i'm not going to say bird or plane or whatever.
actually, i would like to be a dolphin.
cliche i know, but there's someting about being happy without a care
that appeals to me at this point of time.

B: books, what's on your reading list?
actually, its a series of chickensoup books that i have in my cupboard.
i cant help it, there's nothing to read pfft.
but there's some thrilling about buying a new book hah.

C: compulsive about anything?
erm actually, not really.
but i'm kind of compulsive about bathing, i cant stand being dirty or sweaty.
thats why i cant survive camps.
(i know, ns blah blah)

D: do you dream in colour? do you remember your dreams?
actually i do dream in colour, erhh i dont remember anything in black& white tho.
and i heard that if you remember your dreams, it means you didnt sleep well,
but yes i do remember them occasionally and there's always deja vu for me.

E: eating, what's your usual snack?
actually, it depends.
i do like to snack on savoury things like chips/rice crackers,
usually whatever i can find.
but now? i'm staying off the snacks and drinking green tea.

F: a few of your favourite things...
WELL, if it means material things,
i guess its jackets hah.
but i do enjoy baking, something about making yummy sweet stuff makes me happy.

G: giggles! who (or what) makes you laugh? do you have a good sense of humour?
ANYONE, can make me laugh.
as long as there's a good joke and i can get it.
but be weary, cos sometimes, i'm just laughing at you lols.

H: major hot button.
the hot weather and not being able to wear jackets without perspiring like a pig.

I: i am..
a singing fool.
go figure.

J: what's your dream job?
now that i'm taking architecture, i guess being architect better be my dream job.
still, there's something about baking everyday and joining the office rush crowd in a spiffy suit
that is pretty intriguing. (:

K: also known as - aliases, screen names, nicknames?
actually not much, you cant be too creative with guowei.
erm gwei, weiwei and howie and prob even yongyong.
dont ask.

L: i love...
a cup of tea watching the sun rise on a wintry morning.
(:

M: how do you feel about meeting people? do it all the time or rarely? parties or one-on-one?
actually, i'm terrified to death. i just seeeem like i'm friendly to cover up my nervousness.
if i have to do it all the time, i will. parties with familiar people are good, but there's something very personal and lo-man-tic about a one-on-one.

N: what's the story of your name? were you named after anyone?
i have no idea honestly.
but i'm following the tradition that same generation take the same middle chinese character.
hence explaining my brother's name, guoyang.
but i googled my name in chinese characters and found that a famous artist shares my name!
complete with the same character and surname hah.

O: observant, what's around you now? what do you see?
ermm. my cup half-filled with water,
random notepads (to scribble potential recipes)
and my camera cos i just uploaded my photos of dumplings.

P: who are the special people in your life?
family comes first, followed by pseudo families (aka friends who become brothers, sisters, wives, girlfriends and the works) and the bestest friends.

Q: any little quirks about yourself?
when i'm neat, i'm reeeaaally neat, down to the arrangement of stuff.
but when i get loose, you dont want to see my room.
and when i meet people, i tend to give them the losangeles lookover,
which is to look at what they're wearing and such.
i know, weird. (gerald hates me for it)

R: what do you do for recreation?
read and sleep.
but i'm making an effort to start drawing now.

S: do you sing in the shower? for family? for friends?
au contraire, i do none of the above.
but i sing to the random strangers who jog with me, and they stare.
idiots.

T: what's at the top of your to-do list?
hmms, that would be packing and baking.
tho i know doing my archi work should be kind of at the top :X

U: any unusual experiences?
define unusual.
if it means seeing tyrannies?
yes, macdonalds, 18may close to midnight yucks.

V: vegas, vienna, venice - how far have you travelled and what's your favourite city?
GAH, venice. ): losangeles, newyork, whistler, boston, seattle, vancouver, calgary, banff, maine, san francisco, florida, orlando, prague, amsterdam, xiamen, zhuhai, hongkong, japan, malacca, kota tinggi, langakawi, penang, bintan, chiangmai, bangkok. i'm definitely sure i missed some (espesh the small towns), but yeah i've travelled far.
my favourite place would have to be whistlerand newyork, simple unbeatable.

W: winter, spring, summer, fall - what's your favourite season?
it used to be fall, cos its so lo-man-tic with all the falling leaves and all.
but now, its kinda moving to winter,
there's something about snow and that silence that attracts me.
cold, chilling yet dormant.
probably a mix of autumn and winter,
the last leaves, the first snowfall.

X: exes - things you don't do anymore (but did once)
i used to sleep till one plus in the afternoon,
but i can't now.
must be getting old.

Y: any deep and secret yearnings?
oh.
wouldn't YOU like to know. (:

Z: zero to zenith - where are you in your life? still growing? on an upward or downward curve or just skating along?
hopefully its an upward curve,
but sometimes it goes down emotionally.
actually i dont really know but i'll take a day at a time.
planning ahead scares me sometimes :/
