Tagged twice
I was tagged by Deb and Little Gastronomy around the same time (i.e. the second one came before I managed to even done the first one - I was travelling for a week to North Island, NZ, so that's my excuse).
I'm not going to mix them together, and will tag different people for each tag.
1. Little Gastronomy's.
I recently came to know her site and I admire her cooking skills and how organised she is.
This tag is for me to share 5 things about myself that most of you probably wouldn't know.
My childhood:
I was a very skinny girl. I ate loads but nothing seemed to stick to my body. Some people thinks it's a blessing but nevertheless it's a nightmare. I was skinny ugly. Finding clothing my size was difficult.
My life before I had kids:
I was a software engineer working with Nokia in Cambridge and then with Brand Communications in Huntingdon. I used to live in Landbeach and then Milton in Cambridgeshire. I never thought I'm the mothering type, and never had imagined myself being a full time mom.
My current projects:
First time I really cook must have been in Melbourne when I was around 18. Never really had to, before that. I haven't really improved lots since then, though. Bleah.
My best and worst cooking:
Best: Rambutan chicken/pork balls in soup. Grandma's recipe.
Worst: Loads of them. Stir fries that didn't quite work out.
I'm tagging:
2. Deb's
Instructions:
Remove 1 question from below and add in your personal question, make it a total of 20 questions, then tag 8 people in your list, list them out at the end of this post.
1. What do you really really want right now?
I really really want to have come to my grandma's 80th birthday party tonight :( Unfortunately it's tonight and it's in Yogyakarta (Indonesia), far far away from here. A lot of my uncles, aunties and cousins will be there too :(. I can only wish my grandma good health and happiness and hope to see you again soon.
2. If you can turn into anything, what do you wish you can turn into?
Absolutely don't want to turn into male, Deb. I think female is the better creature. I probably want to turn into a toddler, where everything is so exciting and no worries for the world.
3. How are you feeling now?
My back hurts. Too much carrying Lila during our trip to NZ.
4. Where is the place that you want to go most?
I want to go everywhere. Absolutely everywhere. I wish they invent the teleporting device sooner!
5. If you have one dream to come true, what would it be?
I want to have my own mansion, with the butler, the gardener, the maids, the lot.
6. Do you believe in seeing the rainbow after the rain?
Yes. I also believe rain doesn't necessarily mean bad. Sometimes you need rain to 'rejuvenate' everything and make everything refreshed. The rainbow is probably just a bonus.
7. Do you think religion is redundant?
No way.
8. What cheers you up for the rest of the day?
Aga's jokes and Lila's smiles.
9. If you meet someone you love, would you confess to him/her?
Why not. I'd have to make sure myself that I'm in love with him first, though.
10. List out three good things of the person who tagged you.
a) She's an easy going person.
b) She works hard to be who she is today.
c) She cherishes her friends.
11. What are the requirements that you wish from your other half?
Faithfulness and honesty. I could tolerate anything else.
12. What type of person do you hate the most?
Liars and cheaters.
13. What would you do if you won a million dollars?
I'll give half of it to friends and family (hear me friends and family, so please pray that I win a million so you'll get your share), and buy my mansion for the rest.
14. What would you wanna be after you're dead?
I want to be remembered by friends and family and be kept in their hearts.
15. If you have a chance, which part of your character would you like to change?
Un-sportyness.
16. What would you most want to achieve right now?
I want to be a good mom.
17. What do you think is the most important thing in your life?
My family and loving friends.
18. If there's one thing in your life you want to do but yet unable to, what would it be?
I wanted to be a dentist. I guess it's too late now.
19. What do you see yourself as in the next 10 years?
I see myself as a mansion-owner, good wife and mother of two beautiful kids (sense the narcisism?).
20. If you were an animal, what would you be?
I'll be a polar bear. Sleeping for months and months.
I'm tagging these people: (Deb, you're supposed to choose EIGHT!!)
1. Little Gastronomy :D
2. Djes
3. Mrs. Kittenhead
4. Anna
5. Dewi (yinyeksin)
6. Venny
7. Nani
8. Cathy (are you still reading this?)

My current projects:
- Get on top of Lila's teething. Grr. This young lady is giving me back problem!
- Make sure Aga recognise all the alphabets, and write them.
- Be more creative in my cooking.
- Finish up my novel.
