I was tagged in Gwyneth's blog post to do this blog post titled 'If You Date Me' and I think it will be really, um, beneficial (???) to my future boyfriend. So whoever you are, please read this carefully and don't say that I didn't warn you!
1. I HAVE HORRIBLE SLEEPING HABITS
Like Gwyneth, I drool like... Everywhere. This is so embarrassing to admit, but it is true. It's like my mouth is some dam which is overflooding every night.
... Okay that sounded gross, didn't it? I am ruining my image.
But other than that rather unsanitary habit which I absolutely cannot control, I have another one, which is to hug the person before, during and after sleeping. To some (I hope), it may seem loving and sweet but to others, I am just a nuisance. My cousin has complained to me countless times that my 'elephant leg' (my mother nicknames it because of its daily occurence, and due to the fact that it is very heavy) has woke her up every single night I slept with her (this sounds wrong when taken out of context). So if you are a heavy sleeper or perfectly okay with this habit of mine, then great! If not, think twice about dating me.
I sleep like the second from the left, first row. Yes, that leg will be on you.
2. I AM VERY PICKY
... with food. If you have eaten with me before, then you should know what I cannot / dislike / just can't eat. Here are some (shocking) examples if you do not know:
seafood
spaghetti or pasta
some exotic vegetables like brinjals (aubergines)
fruits like starfruit and grapefruit and jackfruit
Do take note when you bring me out to dates! I mean, of course I will try my best to eat whatever I can in order not to disappoint or make you feel bad, but there is a possibility that I won't finish half of my food.
3. I MAY NOT REPLY TO YOUR TEXTS
Some people don't like it when I don't reply, but sorry sir/ madam: sometimes I just don't feel like replying, or I think that I'd reply later but forgot.
When I am on the Internet browsing stuff, watching Running Man, playing Maple, reading Wattpad or doing some other things, my phone tends to be chucked away in some dark corner of my house until I get off it. Soooooo try not to get mad at me, okay? :)
4. I AM TIMID
There. I said it. I am timid. I am insanely afraid of the dark and many insects (butterflies you'd better get away from me).
5. I AM A HUGGING PERSON
It is like a daily thing for me. Everyday I need to hug people who mean a lot to me! If I don't, I won't be able to sleep at night ._.
6. I AM EXTREMELY UNLADYLIKE
At home, I sit like a rickshaw rider: right leg propped up on the chair, arm on the knee. My usual pose during meal times. While watching the TV, I sit with both legs up on the sofa, which means um, everything will be on display if I wear a skirt or dress.
I also tend to chew with my mouth open at home because I am comfortable with the surroundings and people.
Just thought you might like to know and not get a shock.
7. I LAUGH OUT LOUD, LITERALLY
When I read a post on 9GAG or Tumblr or even some story which is exceptionally funny, I will just laugh. Even if I am somewhere in public.
If you are a person who cares a lot about his image anywhere, then you'd better take note about this! Occasionally I will get some looks of discomfort from the members of the public, so be prepared.
8. I DON'T BELIEVE IN PMS
'Nuff said.
9. I TRY MY BEST TO BE A STELLAR GIRLFRIEND
They can come in forms of short messages, some videos (when I am overseas), or a surprise call :) I've been told that they are sweet, and I enjoy doing them.
Also, I tend to write letters!
10. I AM FRANK
If I don't like something about you, I won't hide. I would tell you straight in the face and let you know about it. Similarly, I hope that you'd do the same. This way, our understanding will be deeper and our relationship stronger.
Oh, and I believe in TRUST. Please do not hide things from me which I very well ought to know, because when I do, you're in deep snow.
Trust me.
[EDIT]
I FORGOT ONE VERY, VERY VERY IMPORTANT POINT!
11. ANNIVERSARIES
I cannot, and will not, remember anniversaries. Don't ask me why, but my brain isn't wired that way. So don't worry about having a whiny girlfriend, lamenting to you because you forgot the 100th day, monthsary, yearly anniversary, six months, whatnot. I forget too.
And I love receiving gifts, but I do not enjoy receiving (1) flowers or (2) chocolates.

Situated in the sunny island of Singapore, Jolene recently (is 2 years considered recent?) graduated from university and is now working in a job she never expected herself to hold. Besides having frequent quarter-life crises, she also indulges in video games, anime, and aesthetic korean girls documenting their life in vlogs.
Although not as eloquent with words, she still aims to try her best to bring across her thoughts to the Internet.
