Got TAG?

» by diva in: foodblogs

Procrastinate.

That’s one word that fits me to a TEE. And so apologies to Deeba for delaying the reply to her tag from a million lightyears ago.

Tags are fun and perfect for linking foodblogs together, and thereafter making foodie friends. Deeba from Passionate About Baking tagged me for a MEME, which is one interesting, slightly egotistic (but ah I love!) tag. It involves answering 30 questions (about yourself).

Awesome! Kinda makes me feel a little like a star being interviewed for a cheesy magazine. I can dream.

1) LAST MOVIE U SAW IN A THEATRE?
The Incredible Hulk

2) WHAT BOOK ARE U READING?
Written On The Body by Jeanette Winterson; there are many others on my shelf lined up to be read (bad habit of going on a book spree just so I remember to read them and keep up with up and rising authors but the rate of reading is slower than the rate of purchase)

3) FAVOURITE BOARD GAME?
Monopoly

4) FAVOURITE MAGAZINE?
VOGUE

5) FAVOURITE SMELLS?
Melting chocolate and cooking garlic, not together of course.

6) FAVOURITE SOUNDS?
Electric guitar; drum & bass; Hansie’s voice.

7) WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD?
Hangover. I think it’s a whole lot worse than heartbreak.

8) WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THINK OF WHEN U WAKE?
Food.

9) FAVOURITE FAST FOOD PLACE?
I don’t eat fast food.

10) FUTURE CHILD’S NAME?
Sloane; Sage; really don’t know about boys but they’ll have to begin with J. Haven’t thought about middle names but then again, I DON’T LIKE CHILDREN. So I’ll think about it later.

11) FINISH THIS STATEMENT—’IF I HAD A LOT OF MONEY I’D’
Invest a part of it, and use the rest to open my dream brasserie/bar/restaurant; when the investment brings better returns, I’ll use that to work on my novel. O yea, and give some to the parents of course.

12) DO U DRIVE FAST?
I have yet to go for driving lessons but yes, I do like speed.

13) DO U SLEEP WITH A STUFFED ANIMAL?
One at the bottom of my bed and a stuffed spider under the covers. They’re really there because I can’t be bothered to put them away.

14) STORMS–COOL OR SCARY?
They’re f-ing A!

15) WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CAR?
Not there yet, but I’ll start with a lil Peugot city car.

16) FAVOURITE DRINK?
If it’s non-alcoholic, water.

17) FINISH THIS STATEMENT-IF I HAD THE TIME I WOULD…
Sort my life out.

18) DO YOU EAT THE STEMS ON BROCCOLI?
Course I do! It’s the best bit. Crunchy as hell.

19) IF YOU COULD DYE YOUR HAIR ANY OTHER COLOUR, WHAT WOULD BE YOUR CHOICE?
I’ve done purple, red, blue and ginger bits in it before. So that leaves me with shocking pink??? Maybe green???

20) NAME ALL THE DIFFERENT CITIES/TOWNS U HAVE LIVED IN?
Singapore; Oxford; Reading; Fleet; Birmingham; Johor Bahru. The jungle. I’m a poor chick, I don’t go anywhere.

21) FAVOURITE SPORTS TO WATCH?
Rugby/Gymnastics

22) ONE NICE THING ABOUT THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS TO YOU?
She’s a baking genius. I could marry her.

23) WHATS UNDER YOUR BED?
Giant suitcases, loads of bags and my favourite paper bags that I’ve saved from some designer shops. I’m sad I know.

24) WOULD U LIKE TO BE BORN AS YOURSELF AGAIN??
One go at Life is enough for me, otherwise it wouldn’t mean as much the second time round. But yea, definitely, I wouldn’t wanna be anyone else.

25) MORNING PERSON OR NIGHT OWL?
Night owl. Mornings are evil.

26) OVER EASY OR SUNNY SIDE UP?
Well that’s tough. I can’t decide. As long as it’s cooked, whack it on my plate I’m not bothered.

27) FAVOURITE PLACE TO RELAX?
By the sea. Or on someone’s lap with my hair being brushed.

28) FAVOURITE PIE?
Banofee pie! HA, TAKE THAT!

29) FAVOURITE ICECREAM FLAVOUR?
This is a very difficult one since I can’t live without ice cream and I’m a sucker for all flavours. But always always, PISTACHIO.

30) OF ALL THE PEOPLE U HAVE TAGGED, WHO IS THE MOST LIKELY TO RESPOND FIRST?
Don’t know really.
Again, I’m not bothered with such a question.

I’m not very sure about what this MEME tag entails thereafter but I’m assuming I forward the tag to another 5 foodbloggers. The owners of these 5 blogs endure my harrassment (through comments) and are an utter joy and inspiration to read.

1. Ann of Velvet Lava

2. Farida of AZ Cookbook

3. Sharon of Culinary Adventures of a New Wife

4. Toontz of Okara Mountain

5. Dee of Choos and Chews

Hopefully, they won’t be annoyed with my tag harrassment and I can’t wait to read the answers to these MEME questions. Oh what fun.

P/S. TASTESPOTTING is back. JOY!

    Love your answers! All of them…but I especially feel like having someone brush my hair right now, while eating chocolate, then having some roasted garlic, then maybe pistachio ice cream. This is an EVIL meme. Love it.

    Loved your answers:) You are so funny:) Great to know the evil side of you better:))))

    Thanks a lot for tagging me. I’ll see what I can do. Honestly i am not a big fan of long memes but I’ll try to participate. Hugs hugs.

    I LOOOOVE banoffee pie… I can’t find it anywhere though. FUNNY, first time I had it was in Bangkok! =)

    I’m SO THERE with you on the hangover thing. I’m still feeling depressed about overdoing it on saturday!

    manggy: haha. i know, it suits us to a tee then huh.

    ann: what you’ve said sounds pretty good. i’m stuck in an office and i would love to be relaxing - having choc, getting my hair brushed, maybe a pedicure too, etc etc. man!

    farida: tags are cool but long tags are pretty taxing i agree. this one was rather fun though. like i said, i wanted to feel like a rockstar being interviewed! Jokes!

    dee: mornings are not part of my vocab anymore. i gotta get up at 6am — ungodly hour every day now to get to work and sit at a desk. i feel like that’s the end of my youth…

    amy b: cheers amy! i do try. haha. no i don’t really. i’m just naturally funny. Oh no.

    victoria: banoffee pie rules. it’s just so good!

    we are never full: hangover..ahh. it’s a love-hate relationship isn’t it? i can feel one coming on for saturday morning…:)

    Loved learning more about you… if I get a MEME, I not only tend to procrastinate… I usually tend to blow it off. Not intentionally by any means but I just have a tough time fitting in all of the fun stuff!!

    My favorite scent is cookies baking in the oven, and I have to agree w/ you on food being the first thing I think of when I wake!
