Wendy from a Wee Bit of Cooking recently tagged me for this meme. Like she said, memes are ideal for hectic times or lazy days. My schedule is a bit crazy at the moment because of the start of a new internship. I don't even have time to run as much as I'd like to, let alone bake or cook. I hope to get back to my usual self soon. For now:
7 Absolutely Random Things About Me ...
(1) I learnt to ride a bicycle when I was 25 years old.
(2) My full name has 31 letters.
(3) I have a very high tolerance and big love for spicy food, so don't challenge me to a chilli eating competition.
(4) I ate so much papaya and carrots as a kid that I now have a permanent yellowish glow on my skin (luckily, I have tanned skin, otherwise you might think that I am related to the Simpsons!).
(5) I can speak 2 (English, Malay) + 0.5 (Indonesian) + 0.5 (Mandarin) languages & also read Arabic (I don't understand it though). I tried to learn Italian and French without success - well, I probably didn't try hard enough (I was just happy to be able to understand the menus in both countries!)
(6) I am allergic to pain medications like asprins and paracetamol, so when I have a headache or have a cold, I use aromatherapy (e.g. lavender oil, eucalyptus). It seems to work, even if some of it may be a placebo effect.
(7) More than a decade ago, I wanted to set up my own bakery and cafe, but after working in a bakery for 2 months, I realised that it's too hard (very, VERY long days, very tiring) and it took the joy out of baking for me.

I'm not tagging bloggers who have been around a while just because they've probably been tagged before, so I will tag 7 new & "new-ish" faces in the food blog world since I enjoy reading their blogs and would like to know some random facts about them:
Janet from Janet is Hungry
Amanda from Little Foodies
Kelly-Jane from Cooking the Books
The Ninja from The Cooking Ninja
Truffle from What's on My plate
Susan from The Well-Seasoned Cook
And of course, my good friend Eva from Sweet Sins (although she's not that new to the food blog world, I wonder if she can tell me random things about herself that I don't already know....)
And here is a random food photo I haven't posted:
