The Tagg-ed and the Tagg-er

Ah, it seems that I've been tagged by Puan Mama Sarah. Now I feel like an item on a shelf nearing its due date.

Anyway, according to Puan Mama Sarah....."People who are tagged should write a blog post of 6 weird things about them as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says 'you are tagged' in their comments and tell them to read your blog."

This sounds so awfully hard, since I'm not that weird to begin with. Eccentric, yes perhaps, but weird? Never mind. I'll just try my best to sound as weird as possible for Puan Mama Sarah. Here's at you!

1. A blanket is a must have for me when I'm going to sleep. Of course, I can go to Slumberland without a blanky, but then I'd wake up in the middle of the night feeling as if something's missing - which is the case really. Funnily enough, I don't use it to cover myself. More often than not, I end up hugging the blanket and rubbing my feet against it. This would be one of the things I normally do until I doze off.

2. I am very much capable of deleting a perfectly sound and sensible entry which has reached its third paragraph just because....(drumroll).........I've run out of words to describe what happened next. God knows how many times I've done that i.e. burying 'healthy' entries. I'm such a cruel person.

3. I have a systematic way of eating my drumsticks. Each and every time I get my hands on a drumstick, I'll finish the thing in exactly the same manner - leaving the outer layer of muscles aside, finish off the smooth layer inside, and then come back to the outer layer. Sounds weird? It is.

4. While we're on the subject of food, I also have this habit of 'melurutkan jari' whilst I eat. My intention is only to clear my fingers of any extra rice before I take the next mouthful, however, dad does not think it's entertaining, and used to scold me endlessly when I was small. Well dad, you'll be relieved to know that I'm still doing it now.

5. People say that I 'have a way with words' and because of that gift, I sound like a government official. "Skema' kata mereka. I don't know.

6. I have bouts of coffee craving - which is to say that I can go on for weeks without coffee, but when my craving kicks in, I can go on for weeks WITH coffee. Having said that, I have more romantic ideas about tea, rather than coffee.

And here's one more, just for kicks.

7. I write my text messages in full, with the correct grammar. You can ask my mom if you don't believe me. Surprisingly, my messages rarely reach the second page unless it's about something awfully important.

So there you are Puan Mama Sarah. I've opened up my little chest of secrets and so, you know practically all of my eccentricities. Now I'm going to have to create new peculiar behaviours, just in case you're going to tag me again sometime in the not-so-near future :P
