Little Cozy Corner

Ted posted this email and since he’s not into memes, he didn’t tag anyone. It’s been awhile since I last did a meme so I decided to take on this super tough ‘meme’. And no thanks to my name!! *ppbbhhtt!!*

The rules : Use the first letter of your first name to answer all the following questions.

WHAT IS YOUR NAME? Yvy

4 LETTER WORD: Your

VEHICLE: Yamaha [Golf-Car] - yes, I cheated and Googled this one up!

TV SHOW: Young Ramsay [Another one I cheated on and took from the TV guide]

CITY: Yukon

BOY NAME: Yohan

GIRL NAME: YVY!!

OCCUPATION: Yoga instructor

SOMETHING YOU WEAR: I give up….but I did consider ‘yellow tube’ but that wouldn’t be correct, would it?

FOOD: Yogurt

SOMETHING FOUND IN A BATHROOM:  I give up!

REASON FOR BEING LATE: Yo’ mama so fat…. [Just being silly!]

SOMETHING YOU SHOUT: Yippee!!

Now it’s your turn if you wanna play along.

Aiyo! See la, still no time to blog!! I thought that I would have more time to blog now that mum is here to help me with Arianna but boy, was I so wrong!!!

All my spare time goes into catching up with mum so it has been very worthwhile and so, blogging will have to take a backseat once again. I must say that it is super to have a chance to talk to mum non-stop. After all, she is my best friend and that’s what best friends do. Anyway, this trip down has been budget all the way. We took Jetstar down and now, will take Air Asia to JB on 19/3 for Sis’ convo. She has completed her Masters and now is eyeing her Phd. I think she is nuts la but knowing her, I think she will conquer it with style.

So, we’ll see how it goes and perhaps then, I can make a comparison between the 2 budget air lines. Thank god it’s a short flight but we will be coming home from JB by train so it will be a LONG journey. I miss taking the train so this will be a brand new experience for Arianna. I hope she will handle it well, just as she handled the flight over. Wish us luck!!

And since this is a short post, I’m going to add this meme that Mei tagged me with - out of the blue!! Ish….

These are the rules:

1. Link to the person that tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
4. Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.
5. Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.

And here are 6 non-important things about me:

1. I collect postcards and magnets whenever I can
2. I’m obsess with cleaning my ears and Arianna’s ears AND nose
3. I love writing snail despite it being a dying form of communication
4. I love pork!
5. I write poetry every now and then
6. I’m naughty on the outside but angel on the inside :angel:

 I tag : Dawn, Consuela, Luxferi, Dabs, Arth & Aida

Omg….this is really sam pat!! If I’m not mistaken, sam pat besides meaning the number 38, also means ‘crazy’ in Cantonese, right?

I’ve decided to kill 2 birds with one stone, literally coz both taggers are ladies! lol Ok, that was not funny but I got tagged by Che-cheh and Consuela so without further ado and since my little madam is still sleeping, I better get this done and over with! I can’t afford to share me with all of your anymore….sad isn’t it? *Yes, my perasanism is still around but just lacking in participation! :P*

First up, Consuela’s tag which is super easy and no need to squeeze my brain for answers. Here’s a printscreen of my PC at home. I’m sure you will find that this is no surprise although it’s a little cluttered as like Hedo, I too prefer to have my frequently used folders/files on my Desktop.

When you have a baby THAT cute, you can’t help but turn her into a poster baby.

*grins proudly*

Since I’m just too lazy to re-type the instructions and links, I’m just going to CnP la. Might as well bes honest about it!

Here’s are some quick instructions:

A. Upon receiving this tag, immediately perform a screen capture of your desktop. It is best that no icons be deleted before the screen capture so as to add to the element of fun.

You can do a screen capture by: [1] Going to your desktop and pressing the Print Scrn key (located on the right side of the F12 key). [2] Open a graphics program (like Picture Manager, Paint, or Photoshop) and do a Paste (CTRL + V). [3] If you wish, you can “edit” the image, before saving it.

For MAC users: Press  [ Shift ] and [ 3 ]

B. Post the picture in your blog. You can also give a short explanation on the look of your desktop just below it if you want. You can explain why you preferred such look or why is it full of icons. Things like that.

C. Tag five or more of your friends and ask them to give you a Free View of their desktop as well.

D. Add your name to this list of Free Viewers with a link pointing directly to your Desktop Free View post to promote it to succeeding participants.

People who have already pimped their desktop list:

What were you doing 10 years ago?
I was just starting college and Ooooo…..I finally found out what it was like to be asleep during the day while the rest of the world was wide awake!

What were you doing 1 year ago?
Going crazy and experiencing helluva pressure preparing for our wedding!!

Five snacks you enjoy
McD’s fries [at any time, any day], asam [preserved fruits preferably the slightly sweeter kinds], slices of cheese….yea, those individually wrapped ones…aiyo, I don’t really snack la.

Five songs that you know all the lyrics to
NegaraKu [like Zona and many other Malaysians, I hope], Our Father [yes, my soul needs redemption] and….eh, I can’t sing for nuts really.

Five things you would do if you were a millionaire
Travel the world with my family, get a nice house, set up a proper charity, and dump the rest in the bank if there’s any left, which I doubt….after all, if got balance, I could just live on the interest ma….

Five bad habits
Amongst the many….biting my fingernails, picking my acne prone skin, have the tendency to constantly remind people [particularly Ted] about something or rather which normally drives them up the wall, procrastinating and planning things far too early - which isn’t always good all the time.

Five things you like doing
I have a life other than spending most of it with Ted so I really appreciate a bit of ‘my’ time where I go shopping alone at my own pace and see and buy what I want, I like listening to 2CH which is a radio channel with all the oldies….[it drives Ted nuts!], actually…I don’t really have anything in specific that I like doing - I just do what I want to do, when I want to do it. And everything has a season for me!

Five things you would never wear again
Definitely carrot cut jeans!!!*bluergh!* Stud earrings, getting another navel piercing [3 times lucky but luck ran out after the 3rd time I tried - bah!], any heels more than 2.5inches high - I value the health of my back and I’d hate to get bunions like Naomi Campbell [Have you seen the SIZE of those things??? EEeee.....yuck!] and most probably 3/4 pants/jeans coz I have matchstick legs/calves but porkchop thighs - not really a sight for sore eyes really.

Five favourite toys
My sampan paddle, fluffy cuffs, camera, …uuhhmm, I don’t really have toys la.
