This is the same note I put up on Facebook, thought will put it up here too

2. I fell from a slide when I was 5 on the right side and fractured my left hand’s wrist (Even the doctor was amazed how I didn’t manage to hurt my right hand or my head).

3. I copied for an exam in my kinder garden from my class note book, but never realised that I was cheating, as I thought it wasn’t wrong as I saw from my own book.

4. I had my fist crush when I was in 1st grade, and have been having them from then, more over I have always been a hopeless romantic.

5. I had really long hair when I was young, and my mom used to tie them in two ponytails.

6. I loved painting war scenes when I was young, especially of battle tanks.

7. I know one of my Best Friend from more than 20 years.
