Tagged - Doggone It!!!

I've been tagged by my exasperating daughter, Rachel, who said that the only reason she is tagging me is that I have had nothing to blog about currently.

AWESOME PEOPLE I WOULD WANT TO MEET:

1. Oprah Winfrey
2. Sting
3. Anna Wintour
4. Dr Mahathir
5. John F Kennedy ( but he's dead...)

THINGS I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT:

1. My Job.
2. My Exercise Time.
3. Music & books
4. My family & my dogs (ok!!! they are people but I can't live without them. I would place this as no 1 but I have a brat by my side who is droning on & on like this " Mum, you are supposed to name THINGS LA.... THINGS LA.... THINGS LA....")
5. My mobile.
6. My JAMBAN or a clean JAMBAN whenever I am travelling.

I WISH I COULD:

1. Stop being an anxiety freak & a worry wart.
2. Have more time to spend doing the things I love like : Being with my family, travelling, shopping, reading, catching up with my hobbies etc...
3. Tell people I can't stand to F off and not be so nice (contrary to the bitchy name that follows me around, I am actually quite a failure at being a bitch)
4. Have taken risks and follow my heart when I was younger but then, I would not have had Rachel and giving up what I wanted to do was worth it. ( I will share these secret yearnings with her one day...)
5. Give up my job.

I WANT:

1. To retire in a small village in France.
2. To do social work.
3. To travel and cover the parts of the world I haven't before I am six feet underground.
4. To age gracefully.
5. Rachel to be successful and happy and well loved in life.

SONGS THAT I THINK ARE AWESOME:

(as of this minute, cause it changes, depending on my mood)

1. Hips Don't Lie ( yeah, its corny but am trying to shake my booty like Shakira !)
2. Hundred Years - Five For Fighting
3. Walking on the Milky Way - Orchestral Manouvres in the Dark
4. Ole Devil Called Love - Billie Holiday
5. Everything and Anything by Queen.

HOW I SEE MYSELF IN 10 YEARS:

1. Still active and hopefully more settled.
2. Mellowed down.
3. Still needed by Rachel.
4. Having all the dogs I ever wanted and have the capacity to love.
5. Having all the people that I love still with me.

RANDOM FACTS:

1. I hate durians and durians are forbidden in the house. I absolutely gag if I were to even get a whiff of them five doors away and it doesn't matter if you gargle with Listerine before coming near me, cos I can smell them.
2. I can't do without my poo-poo time each morning. If I can't go, I can't eat or think or function as a sane human being.
3. The only time I am not thinking ( and I think a lot as I am an over analyzing, borderlining obsessive compulsive and the most nit picking perfectionist freako that ever exists) and my mind is totally free and exhilarated is when I am running.
4. I can't stand people who are lazy or stupid or ignorant. I can't stand procastinators or liars. I can't stand people who talks a lot but do nothing. I do not suffer fools lightly and I am absolutely horrified with bad customer service.
5. I am a sucker for all things beautiful , an extreme shopaholic and also a reality TV freak.
6. I am a loner and love being alone but yet the thing I feared the most is being lonely. Is there a difference? Yes, I think so.


MISCONCEPTIONS:

1. I am not a bitch. I just look like a bitch but actually am a softie at heart. However, I do stand up for what I feel is right and is very very frank, outspoken, direct and I do not mince my words when I voice my opinions and that might be misconstrued as bitchiness but I am truly not. Just ask my fan club.
2. I cannot live without shopping. I can. Well for a couple of weeks.. which is a long time.
3. I am a tai-tai that do not have to lift a single finger. I am not... I am actually very domesticated and yes, I can do the laundry, mop the floors.paint the whole house single handedly with Chee Kan and cook and I am pretty darn good at it. Just ask Rachel.
4. My bite is worse than my bark. Actually, I bark a lot but I don't bite!!! ( unless bitten)
5. Just because I am a lady I am a bad driver. Bring it on boys. I am actually a lot better and more skillful than a lot of you male drivers out there.

WHO I WANT TO TAG:

1. My sis ( But she was also tagged by Rachel)
2. Kim ( Slim chance as her blog is pratically haunted)
3. Gary ( If he can get his hands on Internet access up inthe hills of Mizoram)
4. Jason ( you're my best hope of getting any response)
5. My hubby ( in faith , for when he eventually start a blog)
