Everyday Everybody: Cheryl.

G

ood morning you.

Welcome to your weekly dose of Everyday Everybody, where you get to know the nitty gritty of someone new. Today we meet Cheryl, who leads a very interesting life and writes about it over here.

But before you head off for a little look-see, hang around here for a bit and get to know her a little bit first. Here’s Cheryl…

Have you ever been involved in a road accident?
The closest I have ever been to a road accident was when I first learnt how to drive. I tried to make a U-turn but ended up driving my car into a gutter. Luckily I was going slow, so it felt more like going on a slider than a car accident. But we had to get the car towed and my dad was furious. It was probably worse than the accident itself.

Have you ever hitchhiked?
Nope and I don’t think I’ll ever do this in my life. My biggest fear is if I get kidnapped and my parents can’t afford to pay the ridiculously high ransom.

What’s your favourite sandwich?
I’m not a big fan of sandwich. But if your definition of sandwich is anything between 2 slices of bread. Chocolate and banana toasted will be my all time favorite.

Why did you last cry?
The last time I cried was from watching My Sisters Keeper. I usually cry easily from movies but watching My Sisters Keeper felt more like running a cry-a-thon. But it was one of the best movies I’ve watched. It was a good cry.

How often do you get a haircut?
I’d say probably once every 6 months. I’m growing my hair long now.. so I only trim it every now and then.

Have you ever been on a blind date?
Once. My girlfriends set us up, and theoretically we should be match made in heaven. But I learn that love doesn’t work that way. Having the same interest and like talking about the same stuff don’t make you soul match. Sometimes it’s the chemical reaction that counts.

What’s the nicest thing anyone has ever said to you?
When my little sister, who was 4 at the time, said..”I want to be like you!” I’m not sure if the statement still stands today as she’s grown .. but it surely made my day at the time! She was my biggest fan and my number one follower. One day when she’s old enough, I’ll explain to her what a fibre engineer slash a casual blog writer does, I’ll tell her about my 4 years of torture earning my engineering degree, and all the brain crunching I do everyday, and I’ll see if she’d say the same thing. Regardless, she’s still my favorite sister in the world..

Have you ever fallen down stairs?
When I was a kid I saw Wonder Woman in TV. I imitated her action and jumped off the stairs halfway from the second storey of my parent’s house. I ended up with few bruises around my knee and ankle.

What reading matter is currently beside your bed?
I’ve just finished Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert and currently looking for a new book to read. I’m looking at some books at the moment but haven’t decided which one I’ll be reading next. I’m just one of those people who think twenty times before buying a new book. Any suggestion?

Are you organised?
Not really.. but I can be sometimes. It really depends on the good-mood-bad-mood day when it comes with me. On my good days, I color code my wardrobe and sort all paper works alphabetically. On my bad days, I just chuck everything everywhere until comes one fine day when I’ll be cleaning up and re-organizing everything all over again.

Thanks Cheryl. Hopefully everyone can recommend some great books for you to read. xx
