FIVE Golden Ringsss…..

Hands up how many people sang the title in your heads (or out loud) :)

Bit early for Christmas carols to come a wassailing again eh? But Rinnah tagged me and I’m on a slow post day. I mean I could write some nasty things about eating cili padi and getting your tongue burnt; and some irritating people who tell you one thing and get you all hyped up then realise belatedly that they can’t go through with it… but no. Thou shalt not. So here we are, fluffy as a bunny we are. Hoppity-hop! Happy Happy Joy Joy!

Name 1 thing you do everyday:

I take a long hot shower to wash off the grime of the day – physically and mentally.

Name 2 things you wish you could learn:

Belly dance and French. Paris might be the name, but je ne parlez Francois! and I have 2 left feet. Arguably all you really need is the belly no? :D

Name 3 things that remind you of your childhood:

  1. “Money pia” – what my late grandma would call Marie Biscuits that you get by weight from the local sundry shop
  2. Playing “catching” or what in staid English would be “It” – not half as much fun as saying “Eh! Want to play catching or not?”
  3. The cries of “Roti! Roti” in the evening by the roti man (bread seller who comes around in a tricycle cart dinging his little bell).

Name 4 things you love to eat but rarely do:

  1. Keropok – crackers
  2. Kerepek – um… crackers
  3. Asam Fish – too far from good ones
  4. Nasi Briyani Gam – hard to find good ones and fattening!

Name 5 things that make you feel good:

  1. A nice hot shower after a long tiring day
  2. Being able to hold a yoga pose without falling over
  3. Compliments
  4. A Haircut
  5. Getting an item I really want at an excellent price during a sale

And now, its over to a new friend to tell us in her expat wife way, 5 things about her! Over to you! ;)

Hehe, I remembered playing “catching”. Yep, there’s no better way to say it :P

…4 calling birds, 3 french hens, 2 turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree!

Ooops. sorry… got carried away there…. Come let’s play catching! :)

I sang! LOL

Thank you for the tag… wah, my very FIRST tag! *beams* I’ve just finished it.

I wanna learn belly dancing too! It’s supposed to be good for flattening out the pooch, no? *grin*

Tine: Yep! So boring to say “Tag you’re it”

GT: Whee! *runs away*

Cheesey: Thanks! I cant imagine why its not tracking back!

Rinnah: Yes yes! My idea for learning but you really need a bit of a belly to give the dance its credit.
