School Supplies

1. When did you last use graphing paper?
I think it was back in secondary school in 1987. I don't really enjoy using graphing paper. I think it was only used in Mathematics and Science classes.

2. When did you last use a highlighter?
I use the highlighter on Tuesday 3 days ago. I am still studying now, for my bible classes and meetings. There are certain question and answer sessions which we are given some notes to prepare and consider beforehand, so I will use a highlighter to highlight subtitles but underline the main point with pen and ruler.

3. When did you last cover a book?
Perhaps last year. Although I seldom cover my books these days but I am sure that I do cover some at least once a year. Those which I know that I will use for the rest of the year. Some textbook for bible classes and discussions.

4. When did you last wear an apron or smock?
I have never wore an apron or smock for kitchen purposes. However, I do wear protective jacket or sweater to protect my clothes from the dust and me from the cold wind when I ride the motorbike. That I did so last week.

5. When did you last use glue?
I think last year too. I am not sure for what now. Perhaps to wrap presents or seal an envelope. I think it was to seal an envelope. I usually use the cellophane tape for presents.

See You Later

1. What was the last important thing you were late for?
Church service. I wasn't late actually, more like barely made it.

2. What was the last important thing you were late with?
My posting assignment. I was happily chatting with my brother and sister online that I almost miss the dead line.

3. What (or who!) is the most frequent cause of your lateness?
Traffic jams, bad weather which causes the traffic build up and possibly my hubby. Actually he could have said the same about me too.

4. Which of your close friends or relatives can you expect almost always to be inconveniently late?
My brother because he has too much appointments, too many friends and too much to do.

5. What’s most likely to cause you to stay up too late before bed?
Skin irritation and eczema. I can't sleep when I have a flare up.

Conditions Critical

1. Under what conditions can you have the perfect nap?
When I am exhausted or when the room is dark and quiet.

2. Under what conditions can you let most of your guard down?
I guess this depends on the situation and with whom I am with. If there is a trusted person around, I usually feel more relax. If I am alone and with a stranger, that is a high alert zone.

3. Under what conditions can you do your best writing?
I find that for creative writings, the ideas need some time to set in and gather in my mind first. For business writings, I would do well to have a gap of 1-2 days. What do you call it, I need to sleep on it first so to speak. One thing I don't do well for sure is write on the spot.

4. Under what conditions would you give away everything you own?
If I am terminally ill. I mean then I would sort of have no choice? But I will perhaps set up a will or if my husband survives me, he will handle my material possessions.

5. Under what conditions would you kiss a stranger?
If the stranger is a child below 7 years old. After 7 when they go to Primary One, even the kid may feel awkward being kissed by a stranger in my country!

Here in My Car I Feel Safest of All

If money were no concern and LOOKS the only consideration, what car would get yourself? (pictures for questions like this are always nice!)
Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano (photo on the right)

If money were no concern and YOUR LIFESTYLE the only consideration, what car would you get yourself?
Perodua Viva (the car that I have now-see photo below)

What is the best thing about your current car? If you do not own a car, what is the best thing about the car you most often ride in?
Compact for parking and yet engine is powerful for city driving. A lot of the features are really considerate of the driver. Nothing specific, but just little things like the lightings, adjusting the side view mirrors from driver's side, etc.

* If cars could be skinned the way cell phones, laptop computers, and iPods can, what would be a really cool skin for your car? Just plain apple green will do.

If you were going to decorate a friend’s car with a custom-made skin as a practical joke, whose car would you skin and what would it be? Perhaps this skin on the right. More like a camouflage. As to whose, err...no comments. Me nice person.

Used to Be My Playground

1. What playground game do you remember most fondly?
Dog and bone. Two teams in opposite direction. A stick act as bone in the middle. When the referee signals each team member rush to the "bone" and try to grab it and runs back to the team wins.

2. What playground game did you just hate?
See-saw because the other kid will just jump down when I am on the high side and I will dropped with a big bump.

3. Which playground apparatus did you most enjoy?
The swing. Go higher and higher.

4. Which playground apparatus did you generally avoid or not care much for?
See-saw.

5. What playground game might be really fun if grownups played it with adult rules?
Not sure if adults fancy the Dog and Bone game. I certainly don't fancy running much these days. But any time Tug of War (see photos of the fun kids and adults are having) is good I guess.

1. Are you a mentalist or an illusionist?
Mentalist-belief that everything exists in the mind: the belief that all objects of knowledge, including the physical universe, ultimately have no existence except as creations of the mind

Illusionist-

1. magician: a performer of magical tricks

2.painter who makes pictorial illusions: an artist who creates pictorial illusions

I don't really know the words so use dictionary to clarify the definitions first. I am neither a mentalist or illusionist, I guess. I believe things exist and not only the physical things which my eyes can see but also spiritual beings exist. Not ghost or spirits but God and angels which the eyes cannot see. As for illusionist, I don't consider myself creative nor artistic at all.

2. You’re on a roll. Do you feel the roll you’re on?

Again I am not too sure what on a roll means. According to that interview (transcript), I gather it is being popular or something? To cause others to take note? So how shall I understand or answer this? People don't usually feel they are on the roll, I guess. They always want to be more successful if they are on the entertainment business or any other business, generally. The day one say they are at the Top, they are already falling.

3. How many performances a week?

Not a performer either.

4. Is there a little bit of Evel Knievel in you?

Nope. I try to live my life safe and sound.

5. How much of what you do is physical, by the way?

Next to none unless household chores are considered physical. Actually, they can be. Argh...scrubbing, mopping, cleaning, washing...phew!
