I would like to thank my mother, father, goldfish...

I've just been given the "Brillante Weblog" award by fellow blogger, mom and amazing lunch-box-maestro, Domestic Goddess. Cool bananas. Thanks DG! ;)

So yeah, I would like to thank my mother, father, goldfish, indoor plant and Fujitsu Lifebook. *orchestra starts playing and microphone starts disappearing into the floor as I scramble to thank my toothbrush and dog*

Ahem. *puff chest* With great power comes great responsibility. I will not shirk from my duty to...

1. Put the logo on my blog.
2. Add a link to the person who gave me the award.
3. Nominate 7 other blogs.
4. Add links to the blogs I nominate.
5. Leave a message for my nominees on their blogs.

I'm going to nominate these bloggers because their blogs are such great reads. Funny, informative and they all have something to do with motherhood or parenting.

1. Ling
2. Brenda
3. Dawn
4. Dawn Marie
5. Michelle
6. Angeline
7. Wee Ping
   

ps : I've been really busy sorting my life out, but stay tuned... I have big news coming up! No, I am NOT pregnant. o_o

Tagged!

I've just been tagged by Ling (who was tagged by Brenda) to write about 5 things people don't know about me. Tagging is so narcissistic... I like!

1. Weirdest Nickname
Cockles : PF calls me this because... because... (you gotta promise to still be my friend after this) a char kuay teow uncle actually wrote 'no cockles' on my styrofoam box becoz I don't eat the bloody things and it tickled us so much that the name just stuck. It's not funny now, but it sure was funny then. Really!

2. Childhood Ambition
Computer Programmer : Back in the day when starting up your computer involved a cassette tape, I wanted to be one even though I had no idea what a Computer Programmer did. It just sounded really good to a 7 year old.

3. Secret Talents
Sorry, I'm breaking the rules by listing 2 things here, but I'm so proud of both, it's tough to choose.
Discount Calculator : I'm so good at calculating discounts at sales, it's not funny. Really! 30% off $195?
*dormant brain cells kick into high gear and dust starts flying out of my ears*
$136.50! (7 x $20 - 7 x $0.50) NEXT!
Eyelid Flipper : Haha! Funny Bee absolutely hates it when I do this, so when she reminds me about it, I do it for 5 minutes straight until her skin crawls off her body.

4. Insecurities
Short legs : I am only 1.53m tall short. PF is about 1.78m tall. When I stand next to him, I look like a hobbit. -_- In pri school, I used to be in the middle of the line when my class lined up. Over the years, I slowly moved forward. Drat!

5. Fav Sports
Rock-climbing : I LOVE IT! (Must be my strong monkey genes, LOL) Funny Bee and I used to climb all the time. We've even climbed in the UK. *sigh* I miss climbing. I need to start climbing again, but I'm so terrified to try because I've gotten so fat and wobbly.

Okay, that's it. Now I have to tag 5 people : Dawn, Funny Bee (just try la!), Josh, Buttons and JRT Joanne.

Dish the dirt, come on. ;)

Price tag, name tag, DN's been tagged!

I've seen these on other people's blogs and have secretly harboured the hope that I'd get tagged too, hee. Ling tagged me so here goes... 5 things! (I'm tagging on DN's behalf.)

A. Found in my Room

1. A big mess (Mom & Dad keep trying to get me to pack all my toys, but I have more important things to do... like overturning this bucket and all its contents onto the floor.)
2. Diapers - NTUC tape diapers (for day), Nepia pull-ups (for nights) & Nepia tape diapers.
3. A Flensted Dog Mobile
4. My little library of books - The Eric Carle ones are my favourites.
5. Dust! :(

B. I have always wanted to...

1. Climb up the stairs myself (but Mom won't let me)
2. Put my hand in the fish tank and play with the fish (but Mom won't let me)
3. Get out of my stroller the minute I'm put in (but Mom won't let me)
4. Pull Mom's earrings because they're so sparkly and dangly and be-yoo-ti-ful (but Mom won't let me)
