I've been TAGGED!
If you received a message from me to read this, it means that I 'tagged' you via myspace. This is just a little survey where you can write 10 weird and wonderful facts, habits about yourself and it's nice to share.
I've been tagged by the lovely Emily and Glynis (I'll get you my pretties!).
READ THE RULES FIRST...
The rules: Once you have been tagged, you have to write a blog with 10 weird, random things, facts, or habits about yourself. At the end, you choose 10 people to be tagged, list their names, and why you chose them to be tagged. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you are tagged" on their profile and to read your latest blog. Have fun !
10 Weird & Wonderful Facts About Pigography:
1) Most people already know this but I won't buy, prepare, cook or eat pork products UNLESS someone, who doesn't know I don't eat pork, has made the effort of preparing it for me, then and only then will I eat it without fuss - we all make sacrifices from time to time so there's mine.
2) I have an eraseable memory - birthdays, anniversaries, appointments all have to be written down. I am lost without my agenda book. On the upside, I can reread all my books and rewatch all my movies over and over again - seriously I'm like a goldfish. Also makes it impossible for me to hold a grudge as I'll never remember how you broke my heart.
3) I have 11 piercings and 2 tattoos, but you wouldn't know it to look at me.
4) I can eat ice-cream, gelato, frozen yoghurt (...or yogurt?) all year round, even in February in -20 degree weather. Yum.
5) I love the water, drinking, swimming, kayaking, etc. Even as a child of 3, while on a family holiday and the parents had their backs turned, I swam out into the ocean all by myself. Apparently I was such a good little paddler, I managed to get pretty far before the lifeguards caught up with me. But then my dad took my water wings away from me. I cried. Like a baby, oh wait, I was a baby. Nevermind.
6) I moved from Hong Kong to Canada when I was 5. Schools in Hong Kong are much more strict and demanding than schools in Canada. In Hong Kong I started school when I was 2! You heard me, 2! Kindergarden is 3 years there and at the end of the three years, they'll give you placement tests to see which schools you can attend; the kids who scored highest in their tests will go to the more affluent schools where it literally is a higher education: better programs, more funding, brilliant teachers, etc. But I moved just before my placement test. Here I am in a new country, new language (I couldn't speak a word of English) and suddenly it's the first day of school: Grade 1. I'm shitting myself because I'm expecting a placement test. If I fail, I'll be put into the worst ghetto school ever! We were ushered into the new classroom, met the new teacher and then... nap time? What the fuck is nap time? I didn't sleep a wink, fearing I'd miss something. After nap time, they laid out rolls of brown paper - okay! This must be the test! They put out pots of paint and kids dug in with their hands... finger painting?! I swear that was the most stressful day of my little life.
7) I LOATHE mosquitoes. Apparently my blood is like crack-coccaine to them. I could be completely covered in layers of clothing, standing among a hundred other people, and I'd be the one who gets bitten. Blood suckers!
8) I have stage-fright when I have to do solos. Found this out at age 7 when I couldn't even do my piano recital for my Royal Conservatory exams - nobody told me there would be a panel of evaluators staring me down! Sadly, it ended my dreams of being a classical pianist right there and then.
9) In high school I participated in M.O.G.A (Most Outrageous Group Activity) and our school got into the Guinness World Records - for the world's largest outdoor shower with the help from our local fire brigade. Please don't ask how many times I dropped the soap as I'm not going to elaborate!
10) I always carry a camera with me. Yes even to the bathroom, but that's private.
As to the 10 people - you know who you are! x.
