Five-a-side Tiffany affair

The Giddy Tigeress gifted me with the gift of FIVE wrapped up in Tiffany Blue and wrapped in signature Tiffany bow style! Doesn’t it look pretty? Actually the Tiffany thing is another story which I’ll regale you with another day.

Anyway, I was gifted with five questions I must answer on a Friday after I receive this gift. So what d’ya know? Its a Friday today (albeit late in the evening but still Friday!) and here are my 5 answers.

1. To watch or participate?
In what? Sometimes I watch, sometimes I participate. Mostly, I watch THEN participate once I know the rules of course. Call it pride but I hate making a fool of myself.

2. Malls, catalog shopping, or the Internet?
I can’t answer this one with just one. C’est non possible! I mean, here I am, writing beauty reviews and shopping deals so just being limited to one is like taking me to a buffet and telling me I can only have the salad leaves! But if I truly can only have one, I’d say malls. I like seeing things in person and testing them out in real life. Catalog shopping intrigues me, but I’ve never bought anything from a catalog (unless you could online catalogs). Internet shopping is awesome because I get to buy stuff I can only dream about otherwise, which I restrict to non clothes and shoes. But for practical purposes, I’d still have to say the mall – that way I know it fits!

3. A bath or shower?
Shower. I like the feel of the water and besides, having a shower uses 1/5 of the water needed to run a bath so that makes me environmentally friendly right?! However, nothing beats a warm bubble bath scented with aromatherapy oils and flower petals for a relaxing soak guaranteed to ease away the strains of the day. Ahh…. I wish I had a bath… I need to relax!

4. To talk to people by telephone, in person or by e-mail?
This depends on the level of comfort I feel with a person. I like email for the edit factor, but I’ve found that its impractical and not usually the best form of communication with people because nuances are lost and you have to depend on emoticons etc to get your message across correctly. At least over the phone or in real life you can gauge a person’s response and reactions.

5. Typing or writing?
I’m faster at typing for everyday but I still like hand writing messages or cards. In this generic impersonal world, the personal touch is still best.

Gosh! Looking at those answers, I never did give just one answer did I? And with this, I tag thee:-

• Wuching
• Cheesey
• Yuinyin
• Pink Elle
• Beetrice

I’ll be watching out for your answers next Friday y’all!

Its the long weekend, with Wesak Day on Monday. I’ll be catching up on sleep and house chores and the dreaded ironing. I have to. I have no more clothes left for work! Hope you have a weekend that’s more fun than mine!

Yours fluffily
