ParisB tagged me on this interesting meme over a week ago (see, told you I’m a terrible procrastinator!). Somehow, the word worm sends a chill down my spine, but I am indeed one when it comes to books. Here goes.

Do you remember how you developed a love for reading?
Coming from a house of worms (so to speak, heh!), reading has played a big part in my life since, well, as long as I can remember. Books are the one thing in our house that is more populated than anything else. One of my fondest memories of childhood is my parents reading me one fairytale story after another. My father’s animated gestures that accompanied his story-telling are still vividly etched in my mind. Great times!
Let’s continue with a click, shall we?

I’m owing an ocean of tags, so will try and do a tag marathon and clear them all this few days. Sorry for taking so long ya!

Here’s one, tagged by KC ages ago.

8 random facts and habits.

1. I love to tidy up and decorate my home. A tidy and well-organised house gives a sense of order I need to keep me sane.
2. I was bitten by a dog when I was 11. The incident left a small faint scar on my upper thigh.
3. I love horror, triller, crime genres in movies, tv series and books. Anything dark, including dark comedies. My favourite of all time is Six Feet Under. It’s the only series that truly touches my heart and in my opinion, showcased the best moments on TV.



4. I have an ultra-active mind, and although I’m sharing and warm in nature, I don’t share all my thoughts with others and doesn’t show my sorrow easily.
5. I don’t enjoy clubbing that much. I enjoy staying at home more when I’m free.
6. I can get pretty paranoid about things.
7. I love eggs with all my passion. (ever since I was a baby according to my mum.)
8. I hate it when people eat potato chips in cinema, or make any noises for that matter. I feel an uncontrollably urge to strangle those who do. I think they should be heavily punished and banned from the cinema, forever.

OK, I know I’m supposed to tag 8 people, but I’m pretty sure most people have done this one, so I’m not going to tag anyone this time.

The ever-so-funny wuching kor-kor added me to this new link love taggie. Aiyoh, very honored! Tankill veli much! Here’s my add to continue the link love.

1. Write a short paragraph at the beginning of your post and link back to the blog that put you on the list in the paragraph. This isn’t a suggestion. You need to break up the duplicate content. Someone took the time to add you so the least you can do is give them an extra link back.

2. Copy the list of originals below COMPLETELY and add it to your blog. If you would like a different keyword for your blog then change it when you do your post and it should pass to most blogs with that keyword.

3. Take the adds from the blog that added you and place them in the ‘Originals’ list.

4. Add at least 1 new blog that you KNOW is using the DO FOLLOW plugin to the list in the ‘My Adds’ section. (Add no more than 5!) Let the people you’ve added know, so that they can keep the list going!

Tagged by Jenny to write about 6 weird things about me. Well, let’s see, are there any weird things about me? I shall count the ways…

1. I don’t eat tomato, especially the raw ones. The few times I tried ended in projectile vomiting. I like tomato sauce though.
2. I am superstitious about numbers. I try to avoid 4s and always try to get 8s.
3. I go straight to my computer first thing in the morning, and can sit there for hours straight before doing anything else for the day.
4. I love rainy days even though gloomy weather makes me feel blue.
5. I am more afraid of the small bugs than the big ones. Big ones I can see, but the small ones, you never know where they’ll get to. That very thought creeps me out.
6. I have a mild case of OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder. There’s certain little routine in my mind that I do when there’s no one’s around.
