Ultra Cool Mama

Not too long ago I was ‘Tagged’ by a friend to make this 25 random things list in Facebook. I actually got ‘Tagged’ at the early stages of this… tagging frenzy because there weren’t many list around and I didn’t see people’s list all over FB yet. I did try to make my list then but I was stuck at somewhere in number 5 or 7… I really didn’t think that it would be so hard or took that long to make a random list about myself!! Anyway, within a few days, the whole FB was plastered with everyones list! The pressure IS on!! I tried again, and again.. on I think, 3 different occasions. Still no list. Sigh!
I thought I’ll never make a list coz every time I never got pass number 9.
then I started reading lists from my friends… I must say that this is the only chain thing that is pretty damn good. I was learning more things about my friends then I ever would just sitting over coffee (or chilling out sessions). It was getting really cool. And so, I was SO inspired to do my list. So that night after everyone has gone to bed I sat at my laptop and did my list. I think it took me like an hour and a half to complete. I wasn’t sure what I should write and what would be considered as nonsense… and it’s really no point to include things that are obvious already (really, what’s the point right?) 

So anyways… Here is my list. I just Cut and Paste from FB.

Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you.

(To do this, go to “notes” under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people, then click publish.)

1) I’ve been in love with a certain ‘pussy’ since I was like… 6, maybe 4… I don’t remember. It’s been that long!

2) I even have a tattoo to prove it!

3) I recently learnt to bake.. and I think I really like it! Except that it’s making me fat from all the testing and eating up my failed attempts. My friends and family only see the ‘jadi’ ones… I don’t believe in giving people things that are not at least perfect if not fantastic. 

4)I think I’m quite artistic… I’m a handcraft freak… Classes that I have attended so far… Knitting (I can knit since I was in Form 3), tatting, quilting and embroidery, batik painting and pottery. Currently I’m totally into scrapbooking (digital and paper) and card making.

5) I don’t think I actually give much thought on myself, coz I’m struggling to complete this list (and it’s not the first time I started one but didn’t finish) 

6) I’m quite a geek… hehehe! Or rather I’ve become quite a geek ever since I started my blog and digital scrapbooking and I cannot live without my Macbook.

7) I love to hear Chinese songs although I cannot read or write Chinese. I have memorized so many songs and some so flawlessly that many people that have gone to sing K with me thinks that I’m reading the lines…until I ask someone to pick out the songs for me. LOL!! 

I’d love to have a pet dog, but we live in an apartment.

9) I actually miss my trolley dolly days…or maybe it’s just the shopping and being in different countries that I miss… Hmm.. no I do actually miss the job too believe it or not!!

10) I’m curious about living in another country, I wonder what would that be like. 

11) I’ve always been a Kylie fan… after I’ve been to her concert, it is affirmed she will always be on highest pedestal in my heart! She rocks!!

12) Although I love all things pink, I hardly ever wore pink. Infact I’m mostly in black or white.

13) I know most people will think that Aiden is hyper and ott but I think he is just so cool.. and I’m not saying that because I’m his mom. 

14) I’ve always love ballroom dancing. My favorite has to be the Rhumba and Paso Doble. I’ve always wanted to learn it but too lazy or perhaps too chicken to learn it.

15) One of my dreams is to be a florist, I love flowers. 

16) I love to read.. simply because when I do I’m transported into another world. right now I just finished reading New Moon and am dying to get my hands on the next book!! 

17) I wish I could sing.. like really sing! right now I’m just confined to singing in the car when I’m alone, well.. sometimes with the kids in the car. They don’t mind. LOL!!

18) I wish I could play a musical instrument. 

19) My favorite Disney Princess is Ariel… but I think Giselle is cool too.

20) Places that I’ll love to visit someday… Greek Islands, Santorini in particular, Japan ( I want to go to Sanrio land, yes..there is one!!), Halong Bay in Vietnam, Bora Bora Island, Guilin and Sichuan in China and India to see the Taj Mahal.

21) I’ve never dated a ‘mat salleh’ before in my life… I guess some of us are just not born to be a SPG afterall… LOL!! Unlike ‘some’ of my sisters!! 

22) I’ve always wanted to learn how to use a SLR camera… I always drool over those cool artsy fartsy photos that I see some of my fellow bloggers and digi scrapper friends take. Hmmm… Project!! Project!! Yippee!!

23) I’m quite camera shy… Don’t laugh!!!

24) I wish I’d listen to my Mom and went to get braces when I was a teenager. 

25) I can’t believe I had actually written so many things about myself…. 

And after I’ve made my list, everytime when I have a moment on my own, like when I’m stuck in traffic or something… I’ll start thinking about my list and often I’ll come up with something that I thought would have been more interesting then what I’ve already written. BUT!! that’s what ‘randomness’ is all about anyway right? Then a few of my ‘sistas’ were having tea one evening and we were ofcourse talking about each other’s list and I found out it was the same with them. The list actually got them thinking quite a bit and some of us suggested to make another list… Well, we’ll see.
