when 3 bloggers (Monoceros, Fatgirl, DimSumDolly) have "pointed" the finger at you... you know you've got to get your act going... however i seem to take forever to get such forms/questionnaires done... only because i can't quite decide on which three things or if there might be three things at all... but anyways... here's my silly list of threes:
Three names you go by:
mayee, hengrumay, hrm
Three screennames you have:
overacuppa, tiggie, hrm
Three things you like about yourself:
although i sometimes think i am far too crazy/adventurous for my own good... i sometimes thank my stars for this silly trait, i am grateful for the fact that i seem to have brushed off from mummy some of her creative juices, hmmm... that i am a curious forssicker of a myriad of things?!
Three things you dislike about yourself:
feeling crap (lack of self-confidence) about myself, my hypersensitive skin which causes uncontrollable appearance of rash and itchiness which then mysteriously disappears... & my perpetual indecisiveness?!
Three parts of your heritage:
Chinese (Hokkien), Chinese (mummy is actually from China although i am terribly embarrassed to say that my Mandarin is not sparkly sparky... sigh), and perhaps somewhere in the genealogy is an Eurasian ancestor as it was purported that i looked rather non-asian as a wee toddler by some ?!?
Three things that scare you:
darkness -- which is also related to being permanently blind, edges of high places -- although it hasn't really stopped me from climbing up/hiking some hills/mountains, being trapped in all senses... (e.g. in terms of space/freedom/etc...)
Three of your everyday essentials:
lovely tea!!! some morsel of joy (-- be it derived from beautiful sounds/music, poetry, writing, a sudden whimiscal insight, the fleeting but amazing skyscapes, the sun peeking into the world after days of gloom, a hand-written letter addressed to me, glorious-tasting homemade food... work done etc...), a decent lie-in under cozy duvet and waking up to the beautiful sunny day (which of course doesn't always happen.... sigh).
Three things you are wearing right now:
a Tissot rock watch, a pair of Birkenstocks, my pajamies...
Three of your favorite bands/artists (at the moment):
hmmm... perhaps all-time favourites might be more appropriate: Keith Jarret (particularly his piano solos when he plays either classical or jazz/modern pieces), Ella Fitzgerald, Simon & Garfunkel (i am quite out of touch with the current hits... hmmm oh dearie me)
Three things you want to try in the next 12 months:
actually rent a car and drive somewhere even if it's just around the block, run an MEG experiment, finish a paper for publication.
Three things you want in a relationship (love is a given):
to feel at ease e.g. when participating in the same activities or in each other's silence, emotional intimacy, empathy.
Two truths and a lie (random order):
i've skinny-dipped once before, i have an obsession about all things lavender, i hated school.
Three physical things about the opposite (or same) sex that appeal to you:
adventurous/sporty, sincerity, gentleness...
OH! wait physical! erm... hmm well toned body, tall-ish, dark-features.
Three things you just can't do:
stop worrying about the various tomorrows, go to bed early, read fast.
Three of your favorite hobbies:
anything artsy... daydreaming... travelling.
Three things you want to do really badly right now:
get all the research-related problems fixed, finish that darn manuscript, snuggle up in bed and sleep away the tiredness from all the walking today...
Three careers you're considering:
hmmm... teach in some inspiring institution of learning, becoming a travel-writer (but i don't know how i will manage without any qualifications in journalism nor any relevant basis etc.), perhaps as a clinical psychologist if i get accepted in the course that mainly considers local/EU residents... (sigh).
Three places you want to go on vacation:
South America (Argentina or Peru), Middle East/SilkRoad, lesser known/visited areas in China.
Three kids' names:
i haven't actually thought of any but here are 3 which i like or find interesting -- rae, leia, sophie
Three things you want to do before you die:
travel the world (particularly journeying via trans-siberia across Russia to China), write a non-fiction, run a real "overacuppa" tea-house which people enjoy visiting.
Three people who have to take this quiz, or not:
f, ruth, frauke
