Tag times three

Picture from here

They say good things come in threes, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that I have been tagged 3 times this week. 3 times! Funny...because just last week I was wondering why it had been so quiet on the tagging front; careful what you wish for....

Tag #2 by Eden Rose

10 random things:

1. Today is a perfect day; sunny, bright and 31 degrees!
2. When the skies turned orange last week, I seriously thought the world was ending.
3. I think I might prefer shopping online to real time shopping.
4. I did not learn to cook or do any form of housework until the age of 20. (Shame on me, I know!)
5. Sometimes, there's nothing better than just sitting out in the sun, doing nothing.
6. I think that niceness is under rated.
7. I've been flower girl once when I was 5 for my cousin's wedding. I was mighty proud of my puffy dress and took my flower girl duties very seriously.
8. I've been bridesmaid once, to a very dear friend of mine 2 years ago.
9. I'd like to be bride someday.
10. I am currently reading Son of a witch, and it's been a drag. I loved Wicked, but the sequel is quite painful to read.

Tag #3 by Erika

10 true things: here's where I scratch my head, thinking: What's the difference between random and true? I decided there is none. Random things are just more random, I guess.

1. I tend to judge books by their covers, which is why Penguin books don't work for me.
2. For those of you wondering why I don't have a credit card, the reason is simple. I had one and I used it recklessly and I had to get rid of it.
3. I use visa debit to shop online.
4. I love things that come in sets; jewellery, skincare, cosmetics, furniture, books, stationery etc.
5. I have an elder brother who is very very clever who lives in Switzerland.
6. Both my brother and I thought we were 1/4 Thai until recently when my mom informed us that we are only 1/8 Thai. (Bummer, we grew up thinking we were exotic.)
7. I am superstitious. I get nervous when my right eyelid twitches because I think something bad will happen to me. Similarly, I get really excited when my left eyelid twitches because I believe something wonderful is coming my way.
8. I am silly, I know.
9. I am in the process of phasing out synthetic fabrics from my wardrobe.
10. I intend to re-launch my etsy store by year end. (Yes! so stay tuned.)

And now, I pass the love to Sher, Becky, Rose, Simply Colette, ms.tandy, Manju, pretty*pink*rat, The Sice Family, Leproust Vintage, a girl named Taylor
