Motormouth's 7 Deadly Sins ....

Ever heard of tags/meme/whatever they call them in the blogosphere? Much like chain mails (which are SOOOO yesteryears' ....), people from all walks of life, & from all corners of the earth pass them on to fellow bloggers, with a certain trait, either to list the TOP 10 Things You're Dying To Say To Your Country Leaders (=P), your Top 5 Dirtiest Secrets (washing your soiled laundry for millions to see), or plain old 100 Stuff You Wish to Accomplish Before It's Armageddon.

Tagged by Elinluv, then Pureglutton, and .... my memory failed me, but there's another flogger/blogger who passed them on to me. Hands up pls! And spare me the spanking, PLS? ;)

THE SEVEN THINGS YOU WISHED YOU'LL NEVER KNOW ABOUT ME

1. All the photos on this blog were snapped with a Nokia 5610 Xpress Music phone. Exception includes the pics taken in Hong Kong/Macau, where I shamelessly borrowed a friend's camera and went into snapping-frenzy mood. And some other travel photos stolen (with/without knowledge of proprietor's) from the others. Whoops. Now I'll get a summon to appear in court for plagiarism.

2. J2Kfm is NOT my real name. Duh. And I'm a GUY, not a GAL. Nor a dog. The image in my profile page is our beloved pet of nearly 2 years, a female Golden Retriever by the name of Lulu. A hyperactive, loving, and loyal, yet cunning and forever-hungry dog. Guess the saying's true. The pet mimics the owner, sometimes to a tee.

3. I work as a pharmacist. And I'm rather polite in real life. =P Those imagining a raging, ranting and rambling Motormouth may be in for a shock. Hehehe ... Unless you're gettin' on my nerves. Or stealing my food. Grrrr .....


4. One of my favourite food happens to be the PETAI. Cooked in sambal with prawns, or barbecued with squids, or even fried with rice, I like them stinking beans, ensuring a bloody good time with mates after the meal, breathing stinkbombs into their faces. But most do not share my love for the under-rated beans. Sigh ....

Come to think of it, I like most stinking/rotten/yucky stuff. From fermented beancurd (foo yee and stinky tofu) to petai, and durians to salted fish. And those are the milder stuff. Weirdest stuff I've put into my mouth? Those deep-fried scorpions in Beijing. And they were crispy, salty and delicious. But pricey, at about RM5/pc, if I recall correctly. Others include the creepy-crawlies from Thailand, squirrels, and such.

Still searching for those of same interests, so we can venture to Lawan Kuda near Gopeng for a taste of the exotic stuff. Any takers?


5. My most hated food/green for the moment = LEMONGRASS/SERAI. No offense to the Lyrical one, but I can't stand the overpowering aroma of them in my food. In miniscule amount, like in TomYam soup, I can still bear the taste. But not when boiled in water and drank. Bad experience with some Lemon Myrtle drink some years ago.

6. I LOVE travelling. That explains my love for this current job, when I get to travel for free. AND earn some $$$ in return. Never get tired from travelling, sometimes continuously even. Though mostly local destinations. But with Air Asia, now everyone can fly. Ahem .... Depending on the destination though. My next target? HANOI.

7. And last but not least, erm, I've no more secrets to spill. REALLY! But seven's my favourite number, And I was (still am, at times) a videogame junkie since primary days. From the oldest console of mine, a Micro Genius-copycat, to a Gameboy, then Playstation, followed by PS2, I'm currently stashing a PSP in my drawers. Still contemplating on a PS3/Nintendo Wii.

But camera comes first. Thus, I'm still on the lookout for a good cam, not really to serve my food-snapping activity, but more for my travelogue. And my favourite videogame of all time is still the amazing RPG breakthrough, FINAL FANTASY 7....

AND THAT'S A WRAP. I won't tag anyone though. But feel free to tell 7 Things you'd like to reveal about yourself, without the burden of doing so. Have a happy weekend ....
