Ok...now to proceed this "honorable ceremony"...there're few conditions that come along with the award...
#1 - Send a 'Thank you" to the person who nominated you and include the link.
#2 - Share 7 random facts about yourself
#3 - Pass the awards on to at least 8 fabulous bloggers that you think is irresistibly sweet!
#4 - Contact those bloggers and congrats them!
Ok! Let's begin...
Now, 7 random facts about myself...random...
Fact 1 : I haven't go for movies since 1998...after the first date with my first boyfriend (current hubby)...
Don't get me wrong, I do like movies but I prefer bought a DVD and watch it a home...more comfortable and I decide when the show begin! Not to mention the homemade snacks I able to enjoy at the same time. After having Mei Mei and JoJo...I think having a home movies night is one of the best activities during weekends! I love anything from Disney and Pixar.
Fact 2 :
When starting our home in 2000, my hubby and I decided that we are not going to use any toilet paper, tissue paper, kitchen towel and we even stop buying newspaper. For the TR...I do keep some for guest and visitors. Mei Mei and Jo Jo is potty trained at 1 + to 2 years old...no more paper diapers after that. Even as babies, they only wore paper diapers at night.
Fact 3 : I am a left-handed. During my childhood times...Most Chinese family don't prefer (unwilling to accept)to have a left-handed child...I remember I have a few classmates in primary who are born left-handed but forced to use their right hands when learning to write. I am so glad my family never did this...and I even win a few hand writing competitions in school at that time! Some of my envy classmates said I cheating because not using the 'right' hand. I fell in love with Chinese Calligraphy when I was in Year 1 - and learn to write with brush with my right hand! Yep... I write with my right hand when brush writing 'cause left hand will smear the ink!
Fact 4 : I am not a girly girl...and never was. At home, I am the one who chase after cockroaches, hand catching bugs, lizards, crawlies.... And I am glad that now Mei Mei is a great fond to these creatures...I hate to see girls who cry or jump up when they see a cat or a mouse...Nowadays, girls also need to be 'macho'!

Fact 5 : Beach, library, garden, lake, waterfall, these are the places I find peace and can spend forever there! Yes, I visit library once or twice every week.
Fact 6 : I appreciate good song and music, but I never spend a penny buying cassette, CD on them. During my teenager's year...an original cassette can be very expensive (about RM20 per pc) and I'm already very thrifty at that time...So, I only listen to radio or when a song is played at the supermarket. My favorite one will be Kenny G and Kitaro (Japan).

Thank you so much PC! I need to start thinking about other blogs to pass this on to. It's also great getting to know you more through the random facts. And I haven't seen a lot of movies since I had Andrea too... not even time to get the DVD's and watch them :-/ And to think that since my husband and I started dating until after we got married, we used to watch movies EVERY weekend. How motherhood changes everything! Thanks again PC!

PC -
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the award! Thanks for sharing those facts about you. I, too, prefer watching movies at home. I don't much care for crowds.
My grandmother grew up in a time when left handedness was seen as from the devil, so they strapped her arm up behind her back in grade school; she was very humiliated. I'm so glad your family accepted your left handedness, cuz oh my, my grandmother had a lot of emotional problems because of her treatment in school.
By the way, I think you're quite lovely, and yes, I do mean it. We all need to learn to see each other's souls. :)
Cheers,
Tracy Screaming Sardine
@JanelleDear Janelle, we stop going to movie after the first one because after the movie we found out we both don't like cinema..ha ha!
