    So, are you taller and stronger than your peers? :)

    hehe, i’m actually one of the taller ones in my group of girl friends.
    of course, girls can’t be compared to guys’ height.
    strong? i have no idea…guess i’m about average.
    however, my bf is also a spring baby.
    he is just a bit taller than me, like a few cm.
    and he is the skinniest guy i’ve ever seen. so sadly, i don’t have a really strong bf.
