ring-a-ring-o'-posies

Firdaus a.k.a The Game tagged me (thanks,mate), so i'm glad to be able to have an excuse to gush about myself randomly :p

The Rules:
1. Each blogger must post these rules first.
2. Each blogger starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. Bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their eight things and post these rules. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
4. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’ve tagged, and to read your blog.

*flexes fingers*.hmm.

1.I DESPISE it when i'm about to go to sleep, and have just switched off my bedside table lamp, but suddenly i see that i've left my bathroom light on, or the hallway light outside my room hasn't been switched off. gah. my laziness makes me shut my eyes and think 'biar jelah' and try to go to sleep, but 2 seconds later i keep thinking about all the money i'm forcing my parents to waste for the electricity bill. so with a grunt, i'll get up and switch the offending light off.

2.i'm afraid of small children. whenever i'm around the presence of a child, more so a baby or a toddler, i feel like i'm obliged to try and make them smile or laugh or something. but my social retardity impedes my attempts to do so, and normally the child will just look at me questionably(unless it's a really friendly and cheerful baby we're talking about here).

3. i wouldn't mind if fish and beef were taken away from my meals. but if you try and restrain my right from having chicken, i swear, i will kick your ass.

4. Every year, we'll weave ketupat to make nasi impit. and every year so far, without fail, mom has to re-teach me how to anyam the thing. it's like i have seasonal memory loss. i only remember how to make ketupat during raya. we haven't started making the ketupat this year yet, so we'll see how it goes. maybe i'll remember this time.

5. I used to have this paranoid fear that we are all just self-absorbed creatures, and our friendships and relationships are based on our level of tolerance for other people's egoes, and their tolerance for ours. that's just sad, isn't it? but nah, i've learnt that real friendships wouldn't work that way.

6. i am supremely reluctant to listen or watch or read anything that's in french (though kakak is always reprimanding me for that by screeching 'why noooooot???'), simply because it's a reminder of how i dropped my french lessons once high school habis and despite the fact i spent four years learning the language, i still am not more that beginner's level and cannot translate anything except words like I, you, he/she, chicken, pig, and ever famous phrases such asI don't understand and where is the toilet?.

7. i can't think of any other points beside these 6 at the moment, though i know once i've posted this thing and am doing other activities, all kinds of points will pop in my head and i'll think 'laaaa, apesal i didn't think to include this in just now?'. yeah. the classic 'I-shoulda-said-this' syndrome. i have a bad case of it.

8. just included here to adhere to protocol.

so i'm tagging aijud, nani, anna, kakak, shao, kye, aman, aki. HOWEVER, and please take note, if you guys malas nak buat ni (i know some people dislike doing these tag thingies), then feel free to skip. trust me, i won't be offended in any way :p

u are officially the first person ever to tag me. huhu. anyways, i'll do it kut, insyaAllah. because kind of tight up rite now.
btw, being awkward around kids arent a crime. the are naturally hard to please. some of them la. im in the same shoe. and speakng of raya, we are most probably going to have raya the first on friday. i just got that info. and it'll be confirmed again. like seriously.

and another interesting part about raya-ing here, these girls aka kakak2 here are having like majlis makan2 on the saturday. and they have like nasi impit department, rendang department, kuah kacang department and etc. sounds interesting. a good way to diverge everybody's attention for missing home so badly.

huhu. and you what department i am in? department buat air.
ha ha ha. :P

yay, its always nice to be the official first tagger. 'tahniah, anda telah di-tag' :p

ooh, i forgot you guys are ahead of us. raye on friday?sweet! it's nice the malaysian student community there is so industrious. specialisation of labour and all that jazz(i'm putting my econs lessons to good use :p) i DO hope the guys are helping out skali? i mean, it's not just the girls doing all the work and the guys just coming to makan kan?

but either way, department air pun penting k! kalau makan rendang pedas2 tapi takde air, mampus, haha
