Instructions: Remove one question from those below, add in one of your own personal one, to make a total of 20 questions.1. What does a perfect day mean to you?
Waking up at a decent hour not feeling like crap but feeling inspired :) Being able to write something small yet beautiful, reading, and taking photographs. Conversations over coffee in the afternoon-evening talking about the wonders of everything as to feel exhilarated and nervous at the same time. Walking through streets on a cold winter sun morning with someone to talk to. Eating ice cream. Finding something extraordinary by chance. Feeling happy.
2. If you were to be stranded on a deserted island, who are the 3 blog buddies you'd take and why?
Mich, because I'd share my biscuits with her so she'd make me feel less angry about her having pretty things. ie, pretty photographs/mugs/notebooks.
Hannah, because she'll write incredible stories of us stranded on the deserted island (hint: bestseller) and we could probably talk about anything.
Erik, 'cos we'll talk in rhyme and write poetry all day, calling each other codenames and sound innocuously cool. Hahaha.
3. Where is the place that you want to go the most?
Venice, because of a story I read and then wrote about as well; because I would take long rides in gondolas; because I get to drink awesome coffee. And Vienna, just because I feel like going somewhere I haven't been before. Paris again, so I can wrap my icy fingers around a hot cup of mocha and walk the streets holding hands exploring bookstores. I want to go to places that makes me feel altogether foreign yet welcoming.
4. If you can have one dream to come true, what would it be?
To travel the world not having to worry about financial costs and write about everything. To have someone with me while I globe trot and celebrate weird days with me and eat good food :)
5. Do you believe you can survive without money?
No, I don't. Or maybe you could. I don't really know. I don't really want to know, actually. Sigh why am I so selfish sometimes?
6. What are you afraid to lose the most?
My sense of self, - when more than often I dedicate days to find that sense and getting it misplaced so often it gets lost so much; people that mean something to me.
7. If you win $1 million, what would you do?
Invest, invest, invest. If I get a good interest rate, that $1 million would probably double in a few years or two! Then I'd buy a gorgeous town house equipped with a library, entertainment room, (personal hi 5 system, pool table, foos etc) and jacuzzi pool ;) It would also have glass-paneled walls incandescent to the spectra of light from the skies. Its occupants being me, and preferably some hot, literate guy too! I love these $1 million questions. They make me so optimistic.
8. If you meet someone that you love, would you confess to him/her?
I've seen all the answers people put down for this question and I just want to say: YOU'RE CRAZY IF YOU DON'T. Ignore the fact that they might hate you for the rest of your life or become sworn enemies, but you might end up happily in the said townhouse and not regretting or would you rather feel sorry for yourself your entire life? Fine, I know I may not the best person to know about Love, but I'm not that nonchalant either. ;)
9. List out 3 good points of the person who tagged you.
Yumi/Jade; she's entertaining, draws like some Art god (go compliment her) and she takes hilarious, exuberant photos!
10. What are the requirements that you wish from your other half?
Requirements sounds so... rogue. Maybe preferences. OK, ignore that. It's quite self-explanatory and obvious isn't it? OTHER HALF. He matches up to me, be it opposite or symmetrical; and he will listen to me whine about how I have bad luck and not laugh at me - I do have bad luck! - and he will know what to get me on my birthday without asking me but knowing I will love it all the same anyway. Yeah, isn't it great to daydream? :)
11. How do you define Love?
It came to me one night before I feel asleep that Love should be when you fall into the blackhole effortlessly without struggle and it will come so naturally you don't even have to try and then you will know in an epiphany: oh, this is Love. And it will be.
12. If you are given the chance to go back to the past and make a difference, will you?
I wouldn't. Sure there are days where I regret not saying things I should've more than I should, but then I know I wouldn't exist without any of that. Because on some days I wished I talked to that friend when I was 8 more, crying in front of people to let them know I can cry as well, or giving a hug. But I don't think I'd change any of that.
13. Can you tell what's your future is going to look like?
I can't tell. Often, the future terrifies me but it also excites me. I don't know what I should feel. I think it's probably what I've been doing up till now that will make anything into my "future", because "now" was once "future" wasn't it?
14. What do you think is the most important thing in your life?
All the conversations and people :) And then all the little things (haha Alex yay for little things) in between: saying hi's, having good food, laughing til everything swells up in your eyes and feeling happy.
15. Are you a shopaholic or not?
Define shopaholic. Probably am, considering the amounts of books I buy per year. Or try to, at least. And having spent money on delicious food, expensive $11 movie tickets, clothes. I define shopaholic as spending more money than I should.
16. If you have a chance, which part of your character you would like to change?
Not being so impatient, sigh.
17. Who is the person that you can share all your problems with?
I don't know! Probably anyone who's willing to listen, hahaha.
18. What's your weakest point?
Complaining too much :(
19. What's the thing that you're most proud of?
That I can laugh the loudest in the room, for feeling confused, for being able to write, for everything, really. What's proud when you aren't proud of yourself?
20.What do you think of sarcasm and irony?
That we all need them in our life. I don't think I can quite live with excessive positivity without hindering spices of ridicule and sarcasm. Heh.
I keep losing my sense of time, I woke up today thinking it was Wednesday. I think it's 1pm but it's already 3, and I've somehow misplaced this 4th dimension.
