my 7 things

the rules:
• start with 7 random facts/habits about yourself
• people who are tagged have to write their 7 things on their blog
• then choose another 7 people to get tagged and list their names
• don't forget to leave them a comment to tell them they have been tagged and to read your blog

I've been tagged by sia, so here are mine:

1. i can't drive *shame*. i took driving lessons after i finished high school but then i i went abroad for study and work. anyway, the point is, i don't need to drive because i've been living in places whereas the public transport could be easily accessed wherever i want to go. i know i'll drive a car someday though :)

2. same with sia here, if i could turn back time, i wanted to go to an art or design school for study.

3. i would really love to spend some time to get myself more creative, either learning some digital illustrations or drawing or taking photos or anything fun. i just don't know where to start yet.

4. i'm shy, i'm usually very quiet around new people. i just don't know what to talk about with people who i don't know really well, i'm just so bad at mingling!

5. i love eating out but i also love instant noodles! especially in winter, it's so nice to stay at home with a bowl of instant noodle soup. i have to create a rule for myself: not to eat instant noodles more than once a week (otherwise i'll eat it too much and it's not very healthy).

6. more about my unhealthy lifestyle, i don't do any exercise at all. on weekdays i don't get home until about 7 pm and i'm just feeling too tired then to do anything else other than go home and rest. for me weekends mean relax time so it's also a no no for exercise, which is bad... but i'm just too lazy!

7. my parents named me laura after laura ingalls, one of my mom's fave writers.

there you go... not the most interesting things to know about myself, but that's what i could think of for now. i'm now tagging imelda, sandra, dawbis, amy, babelfish, jessica and jennifer, if you feel like to play along of course.

#1 + #4 - same here {although I didn't study abroad, I just don't feel the need to get my license when there's excellent public transport + my trusty bike to rely on}!

too bad you're living down under {or, in your case: I'm living down under} - even though I don't know you in person, I am sure we would talk a lot!

#1 is also on my list of shame, but it's on my to learn list since I already failed the test once.
#2 I still have hopes to learn art, perhaps in my spare time or when I retire, lol.
# Oh no, instant noodle soup is very bad for you!!! I just had one for lunch but that's because I didn't have anything else in the office.

Humm...not sure about these tags, I think I've already written enough on my previous list that anyone has to learn about me.

#4, 5 and 6 are so true :) I don't know what to talk with new people. I also love instant noodles!! easy to cook and easy to clean up. yeah i know how unhealthy it is not to exercise but i'm just lazy... i don't feel like doing anything after work and weekends are the relaxing time. I enjoy walking though.. so at least i still have small exercise ;)

Hi lola, I answered your tag and received some comments but decided to remove it from my blog because it looked out of place amongst the design links :P

laura tj said...
