elusivekQuestions from F.riday5.com: Brr!
1. What will you remembrr about this past week?
Nothing really special happened this week. Maybe except for the picnic I went to on Sunday?
2. What’s trying its best to clobbrr you these days?
Actually, nothing really. The typical answer would either be my Boss (for all his weird instructions) or Mom (nagging and nitpicking), but honestly recently it has been pretty good. And now I've jinxed myself. Something's gonna happen soon.
3. What’s going on in the neighbrrhood?
Nothing much. The CNY's just over, yesterday was everyone's birthday, and next week is Chinese Valentine's Day. One of my neighbors on the lower floors of the opposite building has been practicing a lot of piano lately, and lately they've been trying out Chopin's Fantaisie Impromptu and I looooovvveee it!
4. When were you recently required to summon some brravery?
Honestly, every time I have to make a phone call. I hate phone calls. I hate the uncertainty of a phone call. When I'm talking face to face, I can look at their facial expression to gauge whether they are being funny, sarcastic, mad or whatever else. Also if I didn't quite catch what they said, I can try to lip read, or I can just raise an eyebrow to convey that I didn't understand. On the phone? Nothing. Nada. And I hate that. And yet my job nature requires me to talk on the phone a lot (thank god I'm not a call centre person or a cold call marketer or call operator, I'd be miserable).
5. Over what will you happily labrr this weekend?
I've half given up on the crochet thing as I just can't count the stitches! It could be that I bought cheap dollar-store yarn and that's why, so I may just wander over to a proper yarn shop and ask them if there are specific yarns that are good for crocheting, and try again. And if not? ... I don't know, see if anyone is willing to commission that doll for me, I guess!
