elusivekI was thinking of going back for the backlogs after my holidays, but... I'm feeling lazy. We'll see.

1. What was the first album you ever bought?
This brings back memories. I'm not sure exactly which one, but I'm sure it started with one of these Ranma 1/2 opening or closing theme albums, bought with my own money. Mom had started to give us a very small allowance for snacks in school but I decided to forgo the snacks and saved up money of these. Granted, what I bought was bootleg Taiwanese copies, but I didn't know better back then.
And strangely I also remember this one being the first album my Sis bought.
2. What format was it? (cassette, CD, other?)
CD. In my time cassettes did exist, but I think what was available was more mixtapes type of thing.
3. How old were you?
By the time I started to buy Okui Masami albums, I was in Secondary School, so these Ranma albums must have been in around Primary 4 or 5.
4. Where did you hear it?
At home?
5. Did your parents approve?
Couldn't care less LOL. I mean, they couldn't care less what we listened to. It was all in Japanese, they didn't understand (I didn't either at the time hahaha) but they saw it was some "cartoon stuff" (ok anime fans back off. I know the difference to "Cartoons" and "Animes" but again, not trying to sound repetitive, the parents couldn't care less) and as long as it didn't affect school grades, they were cool about it.

1. What do you do very quickly?
Less a question of "what", more a question of "when". Normally if I'm given a task I'd do it immediately and have it off my desk ASAP.
2. What do you do very slowly?
Same, less a question of what, more a question of when. When the procrastination mood hits, it hits hard.
3. What caused you most recently to be late for something?
I don't recall being late, so... hm......... if you consider this Friday Fiving on a Saturday being late, then it's just my own scheduling. I've scheduled Saturday mornings to be Friday Five and blogging day.
4. Today is the 132nd day of the year. Have the days gone quickly or slowly?
Quickly. It felt like just yesterday when I got covid (early January) and I was just about to say "it's April already" and then I realized it's really May. So. Time does fly!
5. What will you take your time on this weekend?
I would really like to sort out my iPhone. When I upgraded my iPhone I did the iPhone-to-iPhone transfer. Now I wanted to transfer some old old old music from my laptop, because this is a new laptop, and my new (for 2 years LOL) iPhone had never synced to any laptop ever, so if I want to sync the music from my laptop, I need to re-sync everything. And I'm feeling lazy about that. Yes, Apple music and Music store or Spotify are really convenient, but I do have some really, really old albums that are not available for streaming or online (licensing issues I guess). So I'm still on the fence about that. "Sharing" the music from the apple music app means I need to pay the monthly thing, so it's a moot point :-/
