I’M TAGGED, THEREFORE…”

Chun has tagged me and by gawd knows what law, I will comply. This stuff can be so revealing though! Darn my honest bones...

Rules:
Repeat subject header “I’M TAGGED, THEREFORE…”Copy + paste these rules in your entry.Complete these 15 totally useless statements & questions.Mention who you were tagged by, followed by 8 people who you’ll be tagging (of which by now, it'll be no one!).

If I was an opposite gender, what would my party clothes be like?
Black, slinky and short. Plunging if there's stuff to plunge into.

At 10am this morning, I was…
In a cab driven by Rose, a talkative grandmother who insists on showing me her coin collection while she drives me to the Houston Museum of Natural Science. She insists on taking detours because tollways are congested (so she tells me) but I know she's just ripping me off on a few extra dollars.

At 10pm tonight, I will be…
Watching tv in my hotel room. Probably some house renovation show on HGTV or TLC. I've been watching lots of those lately.

Who should be the next Malaysian Prime Minister?
Someone who has driven in KL before during rush hour.

If my spouse told me to do without sex for a year, I would…
Be divorced.

If I was a piece of a car, I would be the…
Marquee. No work at all but I sure will look good!

If I was told one day that I would have to give up either 1) anything chocolate OR 2) ever seeing the beach again, for the rest of my life, which one will I give up?
The beach. I don't quite care for sand in my slippers and the ocean is full of stuff that's alive. I can see fishes at the aquarium but nothing beats eating chocolate!

Singapore is good for…
A supply of tourists to Malaysia. Come come, spend spend.

If I could only say 3 words before I die, what would those last words be?
Format my harddisk.

Who would I like to be left on a deserted island with?
Just one person? Rick.

Die by drowning or by fire?
Fire. At least if the flames are hot enough, it can be quick. Drowning will be interminably long.

What one single thing would you buy with your last RM9.95?
Cut slices of mango - RM2.00, Sweet & sour chicken rice - RM5.50, Pisang Goreng - RM1, Soya Cincau - RM1.50 (am sure I can bargain it for 5 cents less). This is by the way my typical weekend dinner which I am sorely missing now!

If I opened a night club, what would I call it?
I can't type it... way too suggestive.

Don’t cheat: what’s “bulbous”?
Having similarities or the properties of a bulb, e.g. round, bulging like...

I think my ass is…
None of your concern.

Done done done!

NY NY

I'm utterly exhausted but also glad for the opportunity to 'see the world'! I am currently blogging from my hotel in New Jersey, just across the river from New York and I'm a little frightened actually. After the peaceful pace of Ottawa and the exciting hustle and bustle of Toronto, New Jersey seems like a snapshot of one of those CSI episodes where you expect someone to get shot at anytime. It's scary...

Hi from Ottawa

I left my house at 630am on Monday the 16th and arrived in Ottawa 10pm Malaysian time the next day. 30 hours in 4 flights and 5 airports can get to you.

I started work right away but I was optimistic. Sneaked a nap during lunch and never woke up afterwards. I will have some explaining to do at the office back home!

Anyways, just a short blog to let you guys know I've arrived! :)

I'm it...

I am back from a whirlwind tour of Singapore. Spending barely 3 hours at humongotic places like the Bird Park, Zoo, Night Safari, Science Centre and the National Museum is terribly inadequate. It was like going to a screening of trailers... you get a glimpse of what's there but you are left with nothing substantial or tangible enough which is silly because the whole reason we're there was to learn.

It was a good visit though. I have never been one to jump to go to Singapore as I don't really have all that much fondness for the city state. And after visiting the horror that is the Discovery Centre, I am definitely happy to be in Malaysia. I don't think any other country in the world will be happy claiming that they are 'artificial but real'.

For tourists though, Singapore really has it all and with great service to boot.

Anyways, am back again only briefly as will be off and away on Monday to Canada and USA. And while I'm sorting through last minute demands and planning what to bring, Kalamari springs this on:

Another Tagging Thingy!

First up, the rules!

1) Each player must post these rules first.

2) Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.

3) People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.

4) At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.

5) Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

So, here goes my 8 random facts or habits about myself:

ONE
I like rabbits.

TWO
I love Nandos.

THREE
I like being asked out to stuff like movies and etc. but I seldom take the offer up as I'm usually just lazy to go out. When I do though it's usually all good and when prodded, I usually will concede.

FOUR
I need sleep. Above all else, my nightly sleep is not to be sacrificed.

FIVE
Trust is important to me but once broken, usually it's never recovered.

SIX
I do not like driving, especially to someplace new.

SEVEN
I have no ability to save money.

EIGHT
I am opinionated and when I want to be, I can be quite annoying about it.

Now, the harder part, finding 8 people who have not already been tagged. Let me see:

- Jeremy!
- Meng!
- Jason!
- Jin!
- Clara!
- Alan!
- Zeke!
- Derek!

... and I think that's it...

Weariness in my bones...

I'm back from 7 days in Kota Kinabalu and Kuching. The cities were beautiful and the leisure time there was well spent but gosh, I am exhausted. Worse still, come Monday I'm off again to Singapore until Thursday then off again the following Monday. I am going to wear myself to the bone...

I used to long for the 'jet-setting' lifestyle but I know better these days. One got to be careful what one wishes for!
