a tag

i actually wanted to blog about "music and lyrics", particularly about a line spoken during the movie where drew barrymore's character drew a parallel between the music and lyrics of a song and different stages in a relationship (do inform me if you know the actual words!), but i couldn't find the exact quote and, being the perfectionist and lover of long sentences i am, i have decided not to blog about it just yet.

anyway.

i was tagged by "evil"yn yeoh yinn "sin"n. haha.

as with most memes, this one came with some instructions...

"each player of this game starts off by giving 6 weird things about themselves. people who get tagged need to write in a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state the rules clearly. in the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. after you do that, leave them each a comment letting them know you tagged them and to read your blog"

6 weird things about me:

1. when i was younger, i used to form animal figurines out of the dough my mother made for "mee hoon kueh". i "baked" the dough out in the sun and coloured the figurines with magic markers. then, i displayed them on the top of my piano until they grew mouldy.

2. if i had too much money to spend, i would collect things. anything. vintage car models, hard rock cafe t-shirts, movie ticket stubs, antique alarm clocks...anything.

3. although i have written poetry since goodness-knows-when, i have only really read the work of one poet, and that's rainer maria rilke. i'm not gonna be pretentious here: i only started reading his stuff after reading audrey niffenegger's "the time traveller's wife" because his poetry was featured in that book, and the few lines that were in there really captured me.

4. my father taught me how to swim by throwing me into a pool and saying, "when you can float, try moving your arms and legs and then get back to me." i can only do breaststroke, and even then i do it wrongly. at least i can move and not drown in the water.

5. i have never been on a motorcycle.

6. i can identify people just by watching the way they walk. as in, if someone walks by and i can't see their face, i can roughly guess who it is from the movement of their legs. heh.

i don't tag people but if you decide to do this, do leave a comment yeah?

g'nite. =)
