Well well well... sweetpea has tagged me quite sometime back, which I have put it on hold for quite a while. Reason being is that, I find it hard to do this tag, cos I aren't really close to my mum. =) In fact I used to hate her.
Anyway, I'm suppose to put down 10 random facts about my mum... and so here goes.. hopefully I can think of 10 facts about her!
1. She was very strict with me. Every day in my childhood, I need to finish up 2-3 assessments and each assessments there's like 3-4 pages? Had been doing that since I start primary 1 or 2 I think.. If I don't.. caning.
2. She liked to cane me in the past. For every little thing that I do to irritate her, caning. In the past, if she found out I did something wrong she would wake me up and scold/cane me even if I'm asleep at night.
3. She works very hard to keep us (me and her) afloat with 2 jobs a day back then.
4. She's very health concious now that she's getting into the 50s
5. My mum gave birth to me when she's 24
6. Both my mum and I belong to the same zodiac group.
7. My mum is sorta worrywort... part of it must have rubbed onto me.
8. As with all mums, she gossipy at times.
9. My mum is the second eldest amount her 7 other siblings.
10. She always like to cook 釀豆腐 for me when I'm eating at home. Oh, and she always feed me with lotsa rice! LOL...
Well.. I'm supposed to tag others on this..so.. Rinaz, Monkey Wong, and Jacey, onwards to you!
Wow.. I guess this is the best tag ever! LOL... was tagged by babyfiona on what I will do if I have like $1 million dollar! Simple!
If I have $1 million, I will spend like $20,000 on travelling to Europe, Australia, States, and relax at some high class resort, enjoying fine dinning!
As for the rest of the money, I'll just put everything into a fix deposit bank and earn interest from it. Imagine putting like $980,000 into a fix deposite with an interest rate of conservatively 1.7% per annum (based on DBS bank)... that would amount to about $16,660 per year, which means I will get ~$1.4k monthly just like that! Isn't it great!! On top of my monthly income from my job, (assuming ~2.5k per month), that will be a total of $4k every month! wow!... I'm seeing all the dollar signs already!! LOL... but haiz.. it's something that will never come dream.. my bubble has just bursted.. =(

It asked for 7 random things about me! Anyway, I shall be a good sport and reveal somemore secrets about myself!! LOL... But, no big deal lar.. it's not as if i'm some big star.. if I'm then I can sell off my secret and earn big bucks!
1) So.. hmm..ok.. I always count from 1 to 60 everytime i brush my teeth! LOL.. sorta like a timer so that I'll not brush too fast and not clean my teeth properly.
2) I hate the dentist, which is why I make sure I clean my teeth properly as in no.1
3) I only have one occasion where the dentist needs to pull out my teeth. Luckily it was a milk teeth..and it grows back! So, the teeth in my mouth now are real ok! not fake one!
4) I have never finish a book since donkey years ago. Can't bring myself to sit down to read - too preoccupied with other things e.g. watching tv, blogging etc. In fact, I'm almost done with my death note comic with just one more book to go, and it's been 'almost done' for the past couple of months!
5) I'm gonna name my first son as EJay (don't copy the name ok! Use ur brain to think of a different name for ur children.. =P)
6) I'm gonna name my first daughter as ZiNing
7) Limin and I have the intention to go ROM on the 9th Sept 09... is it too early now to start planning?? Argh.. first time gog thru this.. how ah? need to plan so early? feel like a headless housefly bumming ard!
8) ok.. finally.. I used to eat cod liver oil everyday when I was young... I still remember the cod liver oil adverts - cheng zhan cheng zhan, wo yi cheng zhan. Shi ke duo mi yu gan you, pei ban wo yi qi cheng zhan! LOL... I'm gonna feed my children with cod liver oil as well in future!
Alright.. now to tag another 8 bloggers.. wow.. 8 wor.. ok ppl, here goes!
1) Rinaz
2) Sylv
3) Tenchiwei
4) Kimiki
5) Amelia
6) Jacey
7) ECL and finally
8) Minny

Ok, I was tagged by sweetpea to do this Linky Love tag...hmm... abit difficult to understand what the tag requires of me... but since I'm born in the year of monkey, monkey see monkey do!
The blogger who tagged me is a full-time mum that stays in Melbourne, Australia. But... she isn't an 'Ang Moh' cos she's from Malaysia!! Hmm.. maybe can ask her to bring Limin and Me around when we go over to Melbourne in Jan 08! LOL... anyway back to the tag, sweetpea has an adorable kiddo named Aidan. Hmm..I wonder what's the significance of the name though... Anyway, being a full time mum means that she has to sacrifice her time and social life to take care of her kid, but she's enjoying it. Then again, she isn't totally outta touch with the world, 'cos she still has a blog to interact with the world. Best of all, since her blog is PR3, she can do lotsa payperpost opps , and money will just keep rolling in(*envy*)!!LOL...
So now who shall I tag?? and I wonder what those blogger whom I tagged will say about me!? LOL
