I contemplated posting 7 obscure trivia but was too lazy to google for them. I try not to do too many of these revealing memes because I want to, you know, preserve an aura of mystery about my stick person and it’s hard to do that when the whole intarweb knows every teeny weeny detail about you from your choice of underwear (black!) to your shower habits (only detachable showerheads plz). Since I uh… didn’t exactly reveal much in a similar
meme I did previously, I shall try to do better this time round. Just don’t blame me if you fall asleep reading this and find your face imprinted with the letters from your keyboard when you wake up.

1) Short. Tiny. Petite.
I’m what I’ll call “armpit height”. I’m almost 5′1″ on a good day and 5′5″ if I wear 4-inch high CFM heels that I can barely walk in. And yes, the air down here is fine, thank you very much. Just don’t ask me about it when I’m stuck in a packed train during peak-hour traffic and it’s Smells Galore.

2) Born with tilted head.
I think the proper medical term for this is congenital torticollis (OMG I used big words!). Mama Lis told me it was a forceps injury during birth. Since then my head has been fixed although I’ve been told there was much screaming and crying involved (not necessarily mine!) so I no longer walk around with a tilted head.

3) Accountant by training.
Yes, your eyes didn’t lie to you. I majored in Accountancy in university. Big mistake! I realised shortly that I had absolutely zero desire to be labelled a bean counter for the rest of my life. Plus, have you seen the guys? I’m definitely not going to find someone with the looks and body of Christian Bale, wit of Stephen Colbert and culinary skills of Anthony Bourdain in the field. My General Paper (it’s like English language at A levels) tutor in junior college told me I should have chosen Law or at least Arts. After doing the few business-related law modules in school, I can safely say law isn’t my calling either. Law jargon made my teeth gnash in ways I didn’t think was possible. Unless I get to work under Alan Shore (hee! I said under!). There you have it, I’m a certified bore.

4) Bang at piano when angry.
I’m trained in classical piano. Other angsty emo teenagers showed their “this world doesn’t understand me” anger by slamming doors, phones or writing bad poetry while I used to bang away at my piano whenever I was pissed. My family knew to stay out of my way whenever they heard Beethoven being banged around on the piano. 100% effective.

5) Ex-Japanophile.
I went through a phase when I was a complete Japanophile. I was crazy about Japanese guys, Japanese culture, Japanese guys, Japanese literature, Japanese guys… well, you get the picture. Then I took a closer look at the guys and realised they had better pluck eyebrows than me. Seriously, have you seen their eyebrows? They’re all plucked with military precision. I can never date anyone who doesn’t have a single eyebrow out of place. It’s freaky!

6) Addicted to weather reports
I check the weather reports obsessively. If you know where I’m from, you’ll be laughing your arse off right about now. Our weather’s pretty much the same day in day out. Oh well, sure beats reading obituaries although I used to do that too…

7) Prank on Office Creep.
Yeppers, I played a prank on Office Creep and I’ll post about it soon!

There you have it, 7 fun facts about me you’ve been dying to know and probably regret knowing now.

Meleah at Momma Mia, Mea Culpa for the Friendship Badge.

Meleah and Lisa at OMYWORD! Did I Say That? for the Spreader of Love award.

I started this pretty long (and I like to think funny) post a few days ago and wanted to work on it just now so I could post it later, but somehow I accidentally pressed some buttons and the whole thing went poof *insert string of swear words in 7 languages*. On top of that, I’ve managed to somehow injure my left hand over the weekend and it hurts like a damn mofo, so I’m typing with one hand *insert string of swear words in 7 other languages*. Perhaps the worst of all was that I now had to carry my uber hip and fashionable green handbag in my right hand. Not cool.

To make up for this non-post, here’s a sexy video to brighten up your week. Dance and sing along to it!

PS: I don’t really understand how this works but I seem to have received one of these outstanding new blog thingy. Uhm… thanks?

So what’s better than knowing I’m fabulous? It’s knowing that I rock not once, not twice, not even thrice, but FOUR times more than the average Joe (or Jill). That’s right, I rock waaaaay more than you, bitches. How did I know that? Well, I’ve been conferred the Rockin’ Girl Blogger award by the following rockin’ girl bloggers:

1) Rachel at An English Mum

I just found Lis today (or should I say, she found me!) but her blog really had me laughing. Definitely a Rockin’ Girl Blogger!

2) Meleah at Momma Mia, Mea Culpa

3) Wonder Woman at Disjointed Intelligence

Lis is a prime example of the true reason blogging rocks: WE WRITE WHAT WE LIKE! Check out her blog and read About Every Little Thing she decides to share.

By this time, if you’re still reading and agree with me that I’m indeed fabulous, you can vote for my blog at these various places:

To make it more enticing for you, here’s a scantily clad picture of me. Ain’t I the most fabulous bikini babe you’ve ever seen? Totally pin-up material there.

The green handbag is kind of my signature look.

Edit: Holy shit. I can’t believe I forgot this. This is not an award but all the same, I’ll like to thank Adrian for the link love.
