1. What scent is your shampoo?
I'm not sure of the current one. But before this one I used Body Shop's Ginger something and what other shampoo. I didn't think ginger would smell sweet, but there you go.

2. What’s something interesting that you’ve carried on your shoulders or back?
Sad memories here. Nutmeg the shoulder cat surely.

3. What’s your favorite dance step or move?
Don't exactly have them.

4. Who do you spend the most time with?
The dogs :-)
I used to have a colleague-friend that we'd spend a lot of time together, had many lunches together. Well, I got transferred to another department, and she continued to climb the corporate ladder. Now she's either too busy or deemed not appropriate to hang out with next-door department's EA too frequently or something. That and, we used to talk about dogs, and now that she's got a kid, I've never heard about her dog anymore. I know that's life and things happen. She had said she was worried with the kid she'd lose her sense of self (people getting in touch, gifting stuff, just because of the kid), which apparently turned out true. Whenever I get her stuff (souvenirs, etc) I try to get stuff that are not kid-related (admit, it's easier to get a kid-centric gift). But it still seems this friendship is not holding up. Life happens.

5. Is there anything in your daily life that you need to stand on tiptoe or get a stool to reach?
Ah, my stash of supplements are in the top cupboard that I have to stretch up to get. Then my spare skincare products are in the top-top shelf of the top cupboard, I definitely need a ladder to get my refills and stuff.

1. If you could dispense one condiment from each finger on your left hand without its ever running out (and without losing any normal use of your fingers), which condiments would they be?
I don't use much condiments to start with. I'm the usual salt, pepper, sugar.... okay garlic salt. And I have a finger to spare.

2. Which you is the realer you: real-world in-person you, or online you?
Well, online me is just me without a filter. Real me needs a filter of sorts because I have to "conform to the level of politeness". *rolls eyes*

3. Who’s a better actor: Leonardo DiCaprio or Matt Damon?
I wouldn't know LOL

4. If you had to watch (and stay awake during) the same movie repeated for 24 hours, which movie would you choose and why?
I don't know. I usually leave the TV on for background noise and that's probably what's going to happen. The movie of choice will preferably be something tame. No dying dogs, no suffering dogs, no suffering people. Yes, even the Home Alone types. I mean it's funny yeah, but once it starts playing over and over I stop finding it funny and instead start imagining myself in their situation and say if they fall on something, I sort of imagine me falling on that something and then I imagine the pain and then I'm in pain and... yeah.
Still dunno what movie to play though.

5. Who are the five most visually recognizable people in the world?
Wow. I dunno. Well. I'll admit, I find Caucasians and Southern Chinese easier to recognize than Northern Chinese, Koreans, and Africans. In that old movie The Gods Must Be Crazy, except for the kid and the village elder, i'd say all the other adults? Wouldn't be able to recognize them individually. Well yeah if you put them altogether I would be able to say they are each a different person, but if I see them one by one in mixed sequence, you can show me the same guy 4 times and I wouldn't know.
