Personal Note

I am going to come clean about the things that I cannot do. The list is long and peculiar I do admit.

I cannot drive a car (unsupervised)

I cannot swim more than 22 metres

I cannot ride a bike

I cannot dance

I cannot sing

I cannot sew

The last five things don't bother me as much as the first one. And as for the last one, I wish I was better at doing those wonderful crafty things but I've never been able to sew. I sewed the worst outfits for my Barbies that my parents just bought the outfits for her out of pity. Perhaps they didn't want  daughter carrying a shabby looking Barbie.
