Day 12: A Picture of My Room + a Secret

took this photo about 2 minutes ago.

I don't make my bed in the mornings. I make my bed at night, right before I get into it. Strange huh?

I sleep on a queen sized bed. I have no desk, therefore my bed is my desk.

Don't mind the bear. I don't have the heart to get rid of him. I've had him since my red egg & ginger party. [brief history on what a "red egg ginger party" is: In Chinese culture (and many other Asian ones) you throw a party to celebrate the birth of a newborn. Some do this when the baby is a month old, some do it when the baby is 100 days old and in recent years people do this on the baby's 1st birthday. The point of it is to "introduce" the baby to the world and to re-introduce the new mother as well. Guests invited are supposed to bring red envelopes w/ money inside for the newborn, and the proud parents give each guest a red egg.]

 As a child, I never named it. About 3 or 4 years ago,  one of nephews named him "Potato"

I was trying to teach my nephew English and tested him by pointing at random objects asking him what color everything was. When I pointed at the bear, he didn't remember how to say "brown." Instead, he kept repeating in Cantonese "see jai" which means "potato." I'd tell him that it was "brown" but at this point he was irritable. He put his hands on his hips and kept going "SEE  JAI , OKAY!?!? SEE JAI AH!" which literally translates to "Potato, okay?? POTATO!" I always also have my pajamas laying out. I've already changed out of my work clothes. I love being comfortable so I have a nice stash of huge tshirts I like to lounge around in. 

In the right of this photo is my book shelf. The top is strewn with parfum and makeup. The actual shelves are full of books. The left of this photo is my nightstand + miscellaneous drawers which has my daily cosmetics & brushes on top.

My secret?

I'm actually pretty shy. I don't come off this why, but I really am. 

I just tell myself "confidence - wear it like makeup" and that usually does the trick.
