Flu and the Liebster Award
I was down with the flu four weeks ago and visited the doctor twice. (And the inertia to blog again set in…) I haven’t really fallen sick for a few years and I was kinda proud of my no-sick record. So this was kinda frustrating, haha… but well, I had something to cheer me up:
I received a blog award nomination from Jolene!
@ http://missonceuponamarathon.wordpress.com/
Thank you Jolene:) Go check out her blog. Her enthusiasm is contagious!:)
I had no idea what a Liebster award was till then.
It’s not a super formal award with trophy and all; more of a sweet, friendly way to recognise and support each other’s blogs.:)
These are the steps to follow:
1. This award is given to new or up and coming bloggers who have less than 200 followers.
2. The award is then passed along to other bloggers in the same category to help spread the word and support one another.
3. Each blogger should post 11 random facts about themselves.
4. Answer the questions the tagger has set for you, then create 11 new questions for the bloggers you pass the award to.
5. Choose 11 new bloggers to pass the award to and link them in your post.
6. Go back to their page and tell them about the award.
7. No tag backs.
11 Random Facts:
1) hmm okay… I am extra ordinary; droplet in the sea or tittle on the page, like that.
2) I like Chilli Crab.
3) Gray skies and rainy days make me happy.
4) I can only keep big pets.
5) I once hatched a tiny fish from a sachet of eggs. He was called Lazarus; but still, he died.
6) When I was little, we kept hamsters but they either
a) jumped off the balcony,
b) dropped into the sewage,
c) fractured a foot on the cage door, or
d) ate their babies :((
7) I like most food except tri-colored veggies. You know, the carrots-peas-corn combination.
8) I used to live in the sky. On the 24th floor.
9) I don’t like receiving flowers cos I don’t like having to throw away my gifts.
10) I would like to learn how to sew.
11) I finally passed my driving test after five tries…
Jolene’s Questions:
1. If you had to choose between one of the following and give up the others, forever, what would you choose? Chocolate, chips, wine, or ice cream?
Ice cream!

Yes I have a darling girl. I always preferred animal to human babies until I had her.

10. What’s your most embarrassing moment?
Once, while travelling on a bus, I fell asleep on someone’s shoulder. When I awoke, I noticed drool stains on her sleeve. She smiled at me kindly, so I guess she hadn’t noticed. In my hurry to leave the bus, I knocked down an old man’s glasses and it cracked. He cursed me quite loudly. I felt so bad.
11. Where do you see yourself in five years in a sentence?
Joining all the kiasu Singaporean parents to queue up for my little girl’s Primary One Registration.
