10 Things You Didn’t Know About Me

My life is so boring, I almost changed the title to 5 things!

Thanks to a tag from Adrienne Beaumont (see her article below!), I had the pleasure of writing this fun article!

I suppose this article is a unique spinoff from the original About Me I wrote.

So, here we go! Here are 10 things that you didn’t know about me!

01 Biking Idiot

I didn’t learn to ride a bike until a few years ago. I’m so embarrassed to admit this! No idea why I didn’t learn as a kid.

I can bike now, but I’m still not very good at it. I always keep to small and quiet streets, so I don’t have to avoid anybody with my clumsiness!

02 Animal Lover

I grew up with many animals. Our family always had dogs when I was growing up.

We also expanded to cats later on! I’ve also had fish, turtles, a hamster, birds, and mice.

03 English, Cantonese, and Mandarin

I learned conversational mandarin by myself by watching tv, singing karaoke, and asking friends for help.

I can converse in simple conversations without too much trouble.

Don’t speak too fast or use a lot of slang though!

04 Struggling YouTuber

Besides being a writer on Medium, I’m also a Youtuber! I have two channels.

Life With Miu has videos on self-improvement, relaxing videos, and occasional hiking and eating vlogs.

Beauty with Miu talks about skincare products! I give 5-minute reviews on skincare products and share shopping hails as well.

05 French Immersion

I used to excel at French.

So much that I was placed in French immersion classes. Now I only remember some numbers and the days of the week and some random words!

06 Violinist!

I used to be a violinist too. I originally chose the flute, then I switched to the clarinet.

I realized I couldn’t do woodwind instruments because I didn’t have enough air! No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get a peep out of any of the instruments. I was literally blue in the face!

So I changed to a string instrument. I wanted to play cello at first but the strings were too thick for my fingers, so I ended up with the violin.

07 Kid’s Clothes

I can wear children’s clothing. It often fits me the best. I’ll start by trying on the largest kid size and work down until I find a good fit.

08 Bring on the Action!

I love to watch action-packed shows and movies. Think 24, Blindspot, and Blacklist. Those are my favorite!

I’ll watch other shows too though. I loved Lucifer and Squidgame!

09 Food Galore!

I like to eat a lot. To avoid ending up too round for my liking, my solution is to exercise a lot. I’m super active.

If you’re interested to know my exercise regime, here’s an article I wrote on it.

I also love walking and hiking and enjoying the great outdoors.

10 Minimalist is Good

I’m a bit of a minimalist. I wouldn’t say my home is empty.

But I love applying the concept of minimalism to almost everything in my life.

This includes having less of everything from clothes to furniture.

And there you have it! Did anything from this list surprise you?

I really had a lot of fun putting this story together!

I’ll also tag a few people who might be interested in trying this!

Hope you had fun reading this too!
