I was so bored yesterday (my Friday) but the LJ Friday Five didn't update... then I saw [livejournal.com profile] spacefem's post answering questions from an external site, so... I'm answering! But not their this week's questions, as I haven't watched a lot of movies to be able to answer them. So here are last week's questions from http://f.riday5.com/

1. How do you think you’d do in learning to fly a plane?
I think I'd be not bad at it. It's something that you learn by practice. I was pretty good at driving a car when I was learning (stick gear! not auto!), and then I also got by pretty easily when I learning the 1500cc bike (also manual gear!)

2. How do you think you’d do hosting a nationally televised late-night talk show?
This I have all the confidence to say, I won't do well. I don't do well when being recorded, or put on the spot, or to host anything.

3. How do you think you’d do in auto body repair school?
I suppose I'd do OK as well. Again, it's something you practice on, and as long as it's something that I keep on working on it, I could get good.

4. How do you think you’d do as the only occupant of the International Space Station for a year?
I don't think I'll have a problem with the floating around thing, though there might be an issue for me for being alone. While I like my quiet and also usually hide in my room all day, I have to say no man is an island, and I can't just live really alone for a long while. Even if it's just passing by someone to say hello or a greeting. Being totally alone is terrifying, I'd say.

5. How do you think you’d do as a professional dog groomer?
Oh, I'll get on swimmingly. I'm by no means professional, and I don't know how to cut a dog yet, but hey sure, washing a dog is fun. I do that regularly (haha read on, not really LOL). I have to wash 4 dogs whenever the dogs need a wash (admittedly, they could get washed more regularly than the usual 3 times a year, but hey, they're healthy and their coats shine and they don't stink). I just have to learn how to cut/trim/shave fur and trim nails. But since my Sis is the in-house dog groomer, I just let her do those.

I'm not sure if cookies is the right word or not. And traditional. I don't think I should use the word traditional... it's old, it's authentic, it's local....(?)

I was running some errands and walked past this street hawker cookie man. He makes a kind of basic cookie dough, but with salted egg (I think). Rolls them into small balls (as you can see) and then cooks over a charcoal fire with a... flat waffle pan? Not sure what it's called.

The cookies come to a shapeless roundish... yellow piece of cookie (haha way with the descriptions).


This street hawker has been around since forever in the Senado Square. I'll see if tomorrow I can get to another... old, authentic, local hawker/store place. I'm thinking either the roast chestnut guy, or the dragon hair candy guy. The Malt Candy Gramps has passed away already so can't find that anymore... We'll see what I get up to tomorrow.

And here's a shot from yesterday when I was hanging out at the local library to kill time.
