Okay, I admit I rarely read blog posts that have lots of text but sssdawna's recent tag was so interesting that I decided to take up the tag myself :)
1. What time did you get up this morning?
A bit of an exception since today is New Year's but I woke up around 2 pm something
2. How do you like your steak?
Medium or medium rare
3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema?
I saw both The King's Speech and Black Swan in the same evening
4. What is your favourite TV show?
None. I don't have cable TV at my place
5. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?
I love Canada.
I'm happy here in Toronto but I can see myself out West near the Canadian Rockies

May 2010 |
6. What did you have for breakfast?
Gyros with rice - that's only because I was at Evgueni's overnight
I usually have oatmeal, a fruit/yogurt and cottage cheese/eggs for breakfast at home
7. What is your favourite cuisine?
Too many!!
Usually when I dine out I like Japanese, Greek, Middle Eastern or Chinese - I'm all over the place
8. What foods do you dislike?
I guess it's common sense to say I don't like food that is not cooked well (like poorly marinated meat or burnt food)....I can't think of any common foods that I really dislike
On a 2nd thought, I don't like licorice but I don't consider that common for me
9. Favourite Place to Eat?
My Mom and Dad's cooking whenever I go home to visit them
But right now for dining out, I'm loving any joint that makes good gyros and shawarma
10. Favourite dressing?
Greek style for my salad - feta, olive oil, a bit of lemon with black pepper
11.What kind of vehicle do you drive?
I don't have my own car. Only driven Daddy's car (SUV or minivan)
12. What are your favourite clothes?
Depends where I'm going - I love to dress up and I love to be casual too
For dressing up - fitted dress or skinny jeans with top + heels
For dressing down - Roots hoodies (I LOVE them to keep me warm), tank, sweats + runners...like that picture of me in the mountains
13. Where would you visit if you had the chance?
I really want to go on a cruise to Alaska :)
And if I were to re-visit a place, Laguna Resort in Redang Malaysia!
 |
I took this picture while I was at Laguna Redang, October 2010 |
14. Cup 1/2 empty or 1/2 full?
Not this question again :P
Like sssdawna's answer, I generally have a positive outlook on life
And I actually do not think this question is a good indicator of how people view life
Honestly, when my glass is half empty at home, I fill it back up to full - so I guess I see it as getting empty and fill it right back up
15. Where would you want to retire?
16. Favourite time of day?
My answer would change depending on what I want / have to do
Nothing like a sunny afternoon though :)
17. Where were you born?
Toronto
18. What is your favourite sport to watch?
Men's hockey - only if it's a Canadian team like the Leafs (I know, we suck) or our kick ass men's olympic hockey team
19. Who do you think will not tag you back?
I'm not familiar with the need to tag back
20. Person you expect to tag you back first?
Tag me back (?)....you mean a new tag?
21. Who are you most curious about their responses to this?
Anyone - especially the few bloggers that regularly comment on my blog because I can relate to them from reading their blogs.
22. Bird watcher?
No
23. Are you a morning person or a night person?
What about afternoons?! LOL
Okay, more towards night
24. Do you have any pets?
Bobo, my beloved guinea pig :)
 |
Hey Cutie Pie!!! :) |
25. Any new and exciting news you'd like to share?
I'm looking forward to my trip to Deerhurst Resort (~3 hour drive up north) in just over a week with Dale. We're gonna do some winter activities like snowmobiling, hayride, dogsledding & snow tubing....and he booked a spa treatment for me. I can't wait :)
26. What did you want to be when you were little?
Wasn't sure to be honest. I only discovered what I really like doing in the past 3 years
27. What is your best childhood memory?
It always goes back to family for me - any fond memories of me, my two sisters and my parents spending time together... like on road trips... even simple things like being walked to school and when we went to Church
28. Are you a cat or dog person?
Definitely a dog lover
But I'm fond of other people's pet cats
 |
This was our last family dog - our precious Brady when he was a puppy We loved him so so much |
29. Are you married?
No
30. Always wear your seat belt?
Yes!
I have a habit of getting into the car, pressing the automatic lock on all doors (or just locking my own door if I'm not driving) and then immediately putting on my seat belt before anything else. I would say the only time I don't wear a seat belt is if I'm buzzed at night and taking a cab home from a club - but even then, I sometimes remember to put my seat belt on
31. Been in a car accident?
Luckily only once but it was a minor fender bender - nobody got hurt
32. Any pet peeves?
Ugh, I absolutely get annoyed when guests (even Evgueni or anyone in my family) visit my place, uses the bathroom and there's water dripped onto the counter top or splashed onto my mirror in the bathroom. Or if any guests drop (and leave) crumbs of food on my floor. I know it's so trivial but it happens so frequently!! LOL
33. Favorite Pizza Toppings?
Meat toppings like pepperoni & spicy Italian sausage (don't get ideas LOL) - not a fan of ham or anchovy as a pizza topping. I don't mind ham or anchovies separately though
34. Favorite Flower?
Peach/coral long stem roses with baby's breath
 |
Flowers that Dale sent to me |
35. Favourite ice cream?
Soft serve vanilla ice cream
If it's not soft serve I like mint chocolate
36. Favourite fast food restaurant?
Burger King for a hamburger or A & W for poutine
37. How many times did you fail your driver's test?
Once
It was a combination of completing a left hand turn on an orange light (drivers are on the left hand side where I'm from by the way) and when I parallel parked my Dad's minivan I hit the pylon. Thank goodness it was a pylon because on my 2nd try I had to parallel park the same minivan between two cars! But at least I didn't hit anything the 2nd time LOL
38. From whom did you get your last email?
Miranda's birthday party invitation for next week
39. Which store would you choose to max out your credit card?
Compared to my travels in Asia, USA and England I must say that Canadian shopping sucks...yeah, I've been to West Edmonton mall - its the biggest mall in N. Amer and it's nothing to write home about
I don't live in London but I would say Harrods - because they have everything and will even order things in for you if you're willing to pay a premium :)
40. Do anything spontaneous lately?
Laundry! LOL
I usually don't plan too many things in advance so I guess many things I do could be considered spontaneous/last minute - but nothing out of the ordinary recently
41. Like your job?
Very much so :)
42. Broccoli?
I love the way I cook it
Actually stir fry broccoli was the dish I cooked and brought to the last pot luck I went to
It was a hit! And it disappeared very quickly too LOL So many people were like, "Did you try Karen's broccoli?!!!" I was flattered but surprised - I guess they don't eat much Chinese food
43. What was your favourite vacation?
There's something special about each vacation
But I loved spending time alone with my parents this past year in Vegas and Asia.
It was also nice when I flew my parents out West to Calgary/Banff for Thanksgiving 2009
My most recent trip to London/Paris/Stonehenge with Dale was very memorable
I hope to travel alone with both my sisters and/or with just my younger sister since I haven't done that combination yet!
44. Last person you went out to dinner with?
Evgueni - we had Korean BBQ
45. What are you listening to right now?
Now that you ask and I'm made conscience of it, the central air system keeping my place warm and Bobo munching a carrot beside me
46. What is your favourite colour?
I actually don't have one
47. How many tattoos do you have?
Zero
48. How many are you tagging for this quiz?
Anyone who'd like to do this tag - let me know! I'd love to read your answers
49. What time did you finish this quiz?
It's 4:19 PM now
50. Coffee Drinker?
Absolutely - especially if it's hazelnut flavoured or strong coffee like an Americano
