Do You Know Me?

Some of you may have known me for years and may have known me in a particular manner especially the last few years. I am often remembered as the "girl who's a dancer". Frankly I think there are far more talented dancers out there. I wonder why this is often the thing associated with me.

Well do you know the other sides of me?

Do you know...

I like installation art and abstract art over still life?

I like black and white artistic photography?

I love to listen to classical music when I used to paint?

I wanted to be a designer when I was young?

I was trained in acrylic painting as well as design?

I want to learn bike and muay thai as much as I want to learn how to cook and do the tango?

I used to be a hardcore perfectionist?

I enoy staying home to watch dvds and chill out more than going out to meet people?

I am actually introverted by nature and extroverted by creation and necessity?

I would enjoy staying home to a home-cooked meal and doing simple things with a loved one more than an expensive date?

I enjoy cheap teh and teochew porridge as much as I appreciate the finer points of wine and cigars?

I like to read girly manga as much as I like to read books about business and self improvement?

I like to watch anime and feel-good movies as much as I like deep provoking works?

I like peace and serenity often more than noise and buzz?

Money, business and dance is not what my life is just about?

I believe everyone has a side that many people do not know. We often live by the perceptions that we see and there is nothing wrong with that. I simply love to discover things about people that are often not known. Call that my natural sense of curiousity. Sometimes I think I get too caught up with living that I forget to do the little things that satisfy this nature...like read, watch discovery channel *laughs*.

Remember that entry I wrote sometime back about a person's true essense? The other day I had a simple conversation. Ahhh you may not understand what can be so special about a conversation. It was a conversation that I had not had in a long time. It didn't matter that the subject matters were so plain. What was comforting was the conversation actually occurred and for a brief period of time, I experienced a little bit of the other party's true essence...something I had not seen in a long time. That brought a little humane warmth...not love or care... but warmth :)
