7 Things About Yours Truly

I’ve been tagged by Julie. A month ago! Haha.. Sorry Julie, I just got round to doing this…

So here are the rules…

* Link to the person that tagged you and post the rules on your blog.

* Share seven random and/or weird things about yourself.

* Tag seven people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs.

* Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

Ok here goes…

1. I am seriously addicted to frappuccinos. Especially mocha frappuccinos. The richer the better. My favourite is Extreme Mocha from San Fransisco Coffee. It’s my ultimate weakness. My kryptonite. I love it so much, that I attempted to drink 2 regular-sized cuppas just becoz I bought a buy-1-free-1 at Mid Valley the other day and nobody else in my family (except my husband who was absent at the time) could take the rich chocolatey coffee goodness. Coffee-induced migraines be damned.. Huhu.

2. I am sarcastic. Sometimes unintentionally, but most of the time, just for laughs. Not many people can take this side of me though, coz they associate my sarcasm with my renowned temper and automatically assume that I’m Mrs Incredible Hulk. Those who CAN take my sarcasm ends up as my closest friends (and one of them eventually became my husband). That’s probably because they’re preddy much sarcastic people too.. haha

3. I absolutely LOVE the theatre. Anything to do with theatre — plays, pantomimes, musicals, dance, you name it, I love it. There’s just something magical about the big stage.. the larger than life sets.. the orchestra.. the lights, sounds and special effects… that take my breath away. That said, I haven’t been to see that many theatrical shows due to money constraints, but I’ll definitely go whenever I can afford it… Being somewhat musically inclined myself (I can play a few musical instruments like the piano and the piccolo) I love to play music, but just the average kind… no 9th symphony or anything like that… and never EVER on stage!

4. I was told that I used to have beautiful, shiny, straight, jet-black hair. When I was young, I cried whenever I had to get a haircut. Even my hairstylist uncle, Dee (comedian from the "Jangan Ketawa" show) who used to be the only person besides my mom who was allowed to cut my hair, despaired whenever I had to have my hair cut. Which explains why I had long hair pretty much all my school life… hehe.

5. I love to write. Ever since secondary school, its what got me good grades in English. My mom noticed this immediately, and suggested that I take up journalism in Uni… But stubborn ol’ me decided to follow the "trend" and took up Computer Science. 1 year in, and already I regretted every minute of it. That said, even though I never became a journalist or a writer, I did write a fair share of publications while I was working. I became an editor of an in-house newsletter, a copywriter in a marketing company and the occasional freelance work. And of course.. I’m a blogger too… when I can find the time!

6. I have a rather famous great-great-grandfather. Ever heard of Syed Sheikh Al-Hadi? He’s a famous Muslim novelist and journalist in the early 1900s.. during Tanah Melayu times… Well, he was my late grandmother’s grandfather, and I remember arwah telling me how strict and serious about education he was. And although I’m nowhere near writing important world-changing articles as he did, I kinda like to think that I got a teensy weensy bit of his genes in me…

7. I’m a believer of P.D.A. (Public Display of Affection) — to a certain degree. I like it when the person I love holds my hand in front of his friends, a little peck on the cheek by my hubby, a big hug from my baby, mom or sisters, spoonfeeding your significant other… that kinda thing. All PG-rated of course! I must admit that I wasn’t always a fan of PDA, and in Uni I often looked down on young couples who demonstrated it. I guess I was jealous. Not anymore tho. But now that lil Deena is here, I feel that the romance and level of PDA between hubby and me has dropped down several notches… I hope it wont stay that way tho… *hint hint wink wink to hubby*
