Random Q & A

Among all the “Random Questions”, this makes the most sense. So I decided to do it.

Not a lot of people know this but I'm very good at...
Nutrition! I can tell which Vitamin, supplement, food, or fruit is good for which part of your body. Since I get sick a lot, I learn all those stuff by myself!

The most romantic thing anyone's ever done for me is...
Getting a surprise kiss when I turn around to him whilst at a firework show in Disneyland. Not that romantic huh…

You may not know it but I'm no good at...
Knitting or Manicures. Yes I feel ashamed when every of my girl friend busying at knitting around Valentine’s Day while I have no clue how to do it at all. And I just suck at manicure…

To wake myself up I...
Need Joey’s 零時零分.

When I'm feeling down I...
Tend to be self-autistic. Just don’t want to talk to anyone.

My "happy place" is...
Any warm and cozy place I get to eat, hang around and chat with my loved ones where everybody is happy and relaxed.

My best friend is...
You guys…you know who you are.

If I can, I always try to avoid...
Spicy food, food that makes me fat or my voice bad, animals, flirting of all kinds, falling down, and dropping food and eating utensils.

The best thing my parents taught me...
Not to trust them!?

It's not good for my image but I like...
The wet and frizzy hair, glasses, masks, and PJ look after shower, especially in front of my boyfriends but without the mask part. I didn’t realize it’s that inappropriate or ugly until my girl friends and I talked about this recently. I guess I am so used to living with guys.

My greatest weakness is...
Impatience, easily affected by small things…

If I could pass any law it would be...
Stop lying and stop cheating on anyone.

I drive...
Hell yeah I am a legal driver!

When I was a child I wanted to be...
A teacher (like what every other girl wanted to be).

The shop I can't walk past without buying something is...
Park’n Shop?

The most expensive thing I've ever frittered money on...
Stocks!

I always laugh at...
Basically everything!

At the moment I am reading...
“生命中不能承受之輕” by 米蘭. 昆德拉(Milan Kundera).
And re-reading “He’s just not that into you” by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo.

The last film I saw was...
“Slumdog Millionaire”. I don’t like it but I think the kids are cute.

The best day of my life…
Is when I’m in love.

My last meal would be...
Miso Ramen made by myself!

Would you please save your energy?

Would you please save your energy?

People especially girls like stirring things up, making (and spreading) fictions behind people’s back, or even faking themselves to please some people I totally got it. What I don’t get is how on earth grown-ups STILL do things that would hurt others and NOT getting any advantage! You girls are pathetic. If you are really that bored, there are so many things on the Earth that you could care about. E.g. underprivileged children, post-war reconstruction, global warming, politics and public awareness. OR we can even discuss Middle-eastern crisis (Oh yeah, FYI it's my Major!). I feel sorry for your empty and hollow lives.

I'm 23!

My 23rd Birthday (+ House Warming) is plain but warm. My friends came up to my new apartment to have hotpot and play mahjong, exactly the two things we did on my 18th Birthday. “What a five-year! People become indifferent in celebrating birthdays since 21st.” NONONO I strongly disagree to that!!! Perhaps there is more meaning when you turn 18th than 23rd, but both birthdays are equally important!

For me, birthday is like New Year. It signifies the “birth” of someone, a time to retrospect, and set resolutions. It is joyful and fun. It makes me want to strive for BETTER and LOOK FORWARD. Yeah I do worried about getting old; getting old means growing up, hence achieving more.

I was always in a confusing state before my birthdays. I prayed to graduate with good grades and get a good job at 21st. I wished to work hard and stay clear of what I want (career-wise) at 22nd. This year, other than finding a good job, I also want to participate more on humanitarian activities and politics. From helping the underprivileged, you can find the most innocent, unselfish and thankful smiles in the world, which I love! Lastly, I want to love myself more.

Thank You for the phone calls (especially those from America), facebook / msn / sms / xanga messages. They are all the same each year but I still love them. I feel great of being remembered!

“Say that you love me; say that you care!”

Addictions?

Things I got addicted to while I was in America:

1. Showing off my 100% legal PA driver’s license
2. Omelets
3. Frebreeeeeeze
4. Sanitizer that 99.9% kills germs
5. High tea on Friday afternoons, i.e. Cold Stone, Panera or Irvings
6. TBS, Food Network, HBO, Cinemax...

Thank You America!

A few days later I will be leaving the country which I have got pleasure from. First of all, I thank you my mother for helping and financially supporting me, making the right decision. Throughout these four years, I have had fruitful experiences.

I have lived my Penn State college life the fullest, and it is amazing! I am so lucky to have graduated and started my career at 21, with the majors I like. I am also proud of myself becoming a grown-up. After all these years, I became more open-minded, independent, and patient. Thanks to those who have positive influences on me, especially my lovely roommies! I am very touched by your love, care and yelling. And to my other top friends, I love talking, hanging out, traveling, cooking and having high-tea’s with you. Each of your kindliness and advice made me shine like a shooting star; growing up with you is a blessing. Thank You for your support! Sure there are people and things that made me miserable, to those people, I say thank you too, as you have taught me how to cherish. Be tough!

After Pennsylvania, I came to New York. I am still learning to adjust myself to the real world. Now that a year has passed, I think I love working and very much working as a journalist…yeah take that! At least I still want to be a news anchor/reporter for the next two years. But who knows, maybe I will work in the frontier / on TV / in charity when I go back to Hong Kong. I still want to visit the country(ies) with on-going wars or battles. I still see world peace and international security as my ultimate career goal. Be classy and fabulous!

See me fly.
Working towards my dream.
I won’t disappoint you.

Names

My siblings' names (Jason and Jana) always make me feel like an outcast, so I am making up a second stage name. Proudly present to you is Jennifer!!! (I must be watching Friends too much that I quite like Rachel, casted by Jennifer Anniston and really hate Janice). Then I realised I should start my name with "Ja..." instead of just "J", so I changed the spelling to JANNIFER!

From now on, my full name is Miss Tiffany Audrey Jannifer Mak. Thank You.

FYI:
Tiffany: Appearance of God (English)
Jason: Healer (Greek)
Jana: God of Gracious (Slavic)

Wooo College Grad to-be

Mood remains bad, but I am putting effort in moving on. And yes, I am NOT ready to change...

My college life officially ended one hour ago, yeah on a warm, sunny Saturday afternoon. It's my favourite class: Piano. Coming to this pre-jury lesson, I think I am pretty much treated as a Music Major hehe. Why are all piano exam rooms so cold? My fingers are freezing... I am pleased in my piano achievement, really; my last performances went well and pleasant. My skills improve a lot after studying from Dr. Smith for 1.5 years. At least I have tried some contemporary pieces, in which I thought was totally untouchable before. Sunny, Eileen and Ying, I will miss you!

And to think back, I ended my college quite abruptly. This is a very mysterious semester; I have skipped quite some classes this week and the week I got sick. Most of the time I don't know what I am expected or what I need.

I thought I did, but I don't.
...A muddle.
