8 Facts about me (tagged by JaeKnight)

So I've been tagged the wonderfully weird JaeKnight to give 8 facts about myself! I will go on and tag snowflake16, anitaklr24, onlyfiction, -Tigress- and c4ndykyoong!

Okay here goes xD 

1. My best friend from real life is also on AFF, and she introduced me to kpop and AFF actually. She's snowflak16 and we have co-authored a story together here xD

Also, my younger sister (though inactive) is also on AFF. She's EtherealMuffin and we have written a story together in the past aswell! 

2.My second passion after writing is science, especially the cancer side of things. Currently, outside of AFF, my real life focuses on my PhD where I'm trying to figure out better ways to treat 2 very aggressive cancers. So, if you don't see me writing or reading books, you'll see me in a labcoat, with my gloves (and currently faceshield due to restrictive measures!), with bottles of unusual solutions, cancer cells, and frozen new drugs that we're currently experimenting with in the lab. 

It's always been a dream of mine to work with cancer--since my first time of being exposed to the name of this disease, was when my cousin got diagnosed with leukaemia when he was 5. Unfortunately, he passed away, but my entire family was deeply affected by it. 

3. I am so in love with dangling earrings. They are my favourite accessory that I love to wear. If you would like to know how many pairs I own, I estimate about 30+ pairs in my bedroom haha. And the number keeps growing because I've wasted a lot of money with online shopping! So yeah, waiting patiently for more beautiful earrings to arrive soon. <3

4. I am working on a number of novels. I have about 40-90k words written for each of them, but finished none xD I keep telling myself to get going and finish writing atleast one story, but you know what? AFF always calls me back haha. 

5. My favourite palace that I've ever visited was the Alhambra in sourthern Spain, in the beautiful city of Granada (Tales of the Alhambra, anyone?). I feel like this fact is rather bland, but I'm running out of thing to say! :O I don't know what else to write that will grip your attention haha. 

6. If you have to ask, because I did mention that I read a lot of books, I don't really have a favourite book of all time. I tend to enjoy a lot stories, and a writer's words and thoughts processed onto a page. I divulge in their plots, their ideas, and what amalgamates into a fragment of their SOUL. O_o

So if I have to choose some books, I would hands down say that I thoroughly enjoyed Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier, War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy, Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell, and I'm currently really enjoying the brillinant fantasy works by Brandon Sanderson (esp his Stormlight Archive series.)

7. So in addition to that fact, I actually do have a favourite literary character (if I plan to ignore brilliant Edmond Dante from Count of Monte Cristo and Scarlett O'Hara from Gone With the Wind), 

It's hands-down Kaladin Stormblessed. I'm amazed at how Bradon Sanderson, a modern day fantasy writer, has encapsuled a character with an intriguing past, a great sense of morality, a brilliant sense of leadership, and with an overall beautiful soul. Guys, I'm not kidding when I say that Kaladin Stormblessed is the best fictionary character I've encoutered. I actually want him to be real. The stuff he goes through is insane, but his strength of character is so unique and I can't wait to read more about him in the Stormlight Archive series. 

8. Woohoo! I made it to the last part here :D So I thought I'll throw in a fun fact about kpop since this is AFF. Well, I like Korean food more than kpop, unless it's got to do with BTS haha.

You are cute!
It’s impressive that you are studying/ investigate about cancer in your PhD. It’s a beautiful and selfless profession because you cares for your patients so much.

La Alhambra is an amazing place! I went there with my brother last year.

You have read a lot of classic books.

The last thing made laugh so much. lol
