7 random facts about myself

Tagged from Shirley’s Photo Journal

1. I am still wearing braces on my lower set of teeth.

2. I can bend my thumbs backwards 45°.

3. I believe in reincarnation.

4. I have dreams of otherworlds.

5. I wish there would truely be peace and love on Earth.

6. I regret that I eat animals for food but sometimes the urge to taste the delicious meat overwhelms the animals pain.

7. I had wanted to change my surname when I was younger. In fact, I just wanted to discard my surname. I’d take my mother’s surname. But then, that’s her father’s (and father’s father’s…) surname. Still sexist naming convention. So I never let anyone call me by my surname. I am me, not my father or mother.

The next 7 blogs are tagged but I don’t know who royally reads my blog anymore, today. So if you are feeling exhibitionist, feel free.

Here are the rules for tagging:

1. Link to my blog (tagger) on your blog.
2. Give seven facts about yourself.
3. Tag another seven bloggers by leaving a comment on their blogs and letting them know they were tagged and listing them (and their blogs) on your blog.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Ways to torture Heng Dai & Groom during wedding

A friend got married not recently and she married the guy who broke her heart. Her groom confessed that he was afraid we would retaliate and revenge on him on the wedding day. To traditional couples, registration day is not as important as “jip san leong” & “meal” day.

As much as we would like to hit, punch, slap that groom, we wouldn’t spoil our friend’s special day. If she decides to marry this guy, then so be it. It’s her life. Maybe she really loves him that much and he has really changed for good.

Like every wedding event I was the bridesmaid (or loosely termed “Ji Mui”), I was the not active in contributing torture ideas.

So I am keeping this list for future references, some contributed by “Heng Dai” themselves ;)

Who’s the Pendatang?

The only original citizens of Malaysia are Orang Asli. The rest of us had ancestors coming from all over the world. So why the bias that certain races get discounts in buying house & cars, lower passing rate in education exams?
