1. What's your favorite fruit or vegetable to look at?
To look at? I don't know?? LOL I never thought about having to look at a fruit haha. Hm.... I guess... Cauliflower? It's nice to look at? Like a bouquet of flowers?

2. What's your favorite juice?
Box juice I like apple juice, but when I'm on a plane then I like tomato juice. Fresh squeezed I usually order a Carrot and Apple juice.

3. What fruit tree would you like to have in your yard?
I had a mini crabapple tree but I guess I didn't know how to care for it, so it died. We currently do have a pineapple tree plant (bush? thing?) in the verandah and it did give us fruit, but it had no taste LOL. We also had a papaya tree but it just kept growing taller and taller and it was reaching the floor above us. It did give fruit but they never ripened, maybe only 2 or so turned yellow/orange. It was uncrontrollable so we decided to chop it down. Later I learnt there is a way to curb its growing upwards (something to do with chopping the top off periodically) but by then we've gotten rid of the tree.

4. What vegetable name do you think makes the best nickname?
I wouldn't know, but over here (Asia, maybe) people use fruits as names. I guess the most common and maybe in English-speaking places people use this name as well, but there's Cherry. Another one that I think is more common in Hong Kong is Apple. I think I've heard of Berry too. I'm just disappointed that I haven't seen people call themselves Banana yet.

(*I know someone called Danger and know of someone's friend in China opening the dictionary and liking the sound of Bicycle and that's his name now)

5. What fruits and vegetables would your personal "fruit hat" contain?
I don't know. The usual would be grapes and strawberries and maybe one of the smaller apples and a distinctive pear, no?

1. When did you recently pass the baton to someone?
Oh, a couple years back when I started to work for this Boss, I was still "part timing" looking after another office location because I had no successor in that office. When a girl came along, she wasn't exactly my successor, but she was the new admin for one of the execs sitting on that floor..... and I just handed everything to her. Yup, poor girl, she wasn't hired to be the office admin, just the admin of one of the execs (who wasn't the Boss of the floor) but still, she was an admin sitting AT THAT OFFICE, as opposed to me who had already absolutely nothing to do with that office. Felt good handing all that off to her, but also feeling sorry for because, I feel ya, bro!

2. What do you wish you never fiddled with?
Not currently feeling regretful about anything, so I don't know, right now.

3. What do you plan to reed in the near future?
I'm not getting the question here. If this is a play on rhymes and actually means to "Read" then when I finish the current book I'm reading I'd like to read this book. I was searching for "quirky things to do in Tokyo" and this incense thing popped up. I saw the location was a bit far off, but sniffed around the website and saw there's an online course in English for that. But I though, before I commit, I'd rather read something at my own pace first, then decide. It's something I guess my Sis would be interested too.

I came back for this question after a further researching on the phrase "to reed", so assuming it's the reed thatching thing so I guess I could interpret this as hand-making something.  And the answer is no, no plans to do anything like that. Since that Slytherin Scarf that took me 15+ years to knit, I'm not starting any other such projects, LOL.

4. How’s the weather in your neck of the woods?
Usual Spring weather in this part of the world. Temperature says it's hot, it's humid (today 96% relative humidity) but also, if you go to some shade areas then it's the weird chill that goes into your bone. Indoors are deceptively cool and wet, so you think it's cold out, but then when you go out it's hot and stuffy. It's the usual weird Spring weather.

5. What have you lately been nuts about?
Research and planning research and planning for both my Tokyo trip and London trip!
