I've been tagged by a lovely young lady whom I had the pleasure of getting acquainted to in the wonderful world of the web. I'm not sure if my total of four readers would be interested in the list about me but here goes:
Ten Honest Things About Me
1. The husband is my source of strength and weakness. I love the man to bits. He has the unique the ablility to draw out the best in me. And oddly, the worse in me, too.
2. I love my kids. And hard as it may, I try to temper my boundless love for them with discipline that I think will help them in their life. I want them to be able to pursue what they love doing. Except, Danial would never be able to be a fighter pilot nor an admiral in the navy in this little island that we live in. And that makes me angry.
3. I had kid-phobia and so the husband and I never discussed having kids the entire time we were dating/engaged. When we found out we were pregnant for the first time, the husband thought I might not want to keep the baby.
4. I am fiercely loyal to friends. I've been told this is a typical Scorpio trait. Not sure what that means since I am not into zodiac or horoscope (are they even the same thing?).
5. I have had four major surgeries in my life. Yes, I have had a complicated medical history and hopefully that means I have reached the quota of major surgeries of my life and I won't have to go through another one.
6. I have only discovered God not too long ago. The jolt/reminder/final call came when I lost my child. Veering close to depression, it occured to me I had to let go and trust the plan God had for me. As a Muslim, I am indeed a work-in-progress.
7. I am actually very funny. My quiet demeanour belies my humour and acquaintances usually are very surprised when I crack a joke. But no, I am no stand-up comedienne material. Not by a long shot.
8. I like my food spicy. All hail the queen of spice and chillies. I don't get why anyone would want to eat bland food.
9. I love my job and plan my career. It pays the bills and allows me to help support the family. And for that, I give thanks to God daily.
10. I am very uncompetitive by nature. I know, its an oxymoron to be have a career and not be competitive. How do you climb the corporate ladder otherwise, you're asking? I don't have an answer. I only keep my head down and do the work that been entrusted to me and do them to the best of my abilities and get the results that are needed. Sometimes I get a pat on my back for the results, sometimes, other people do. Such is the corporate world. But my being uncompetitive extends beyond work. It is also reflected in my hobby - reading (has anyone heard of reading competitions?).
And that's pretty much it. If you made it all the way here, you are a very patient (and inquisitive!) person. And if you forward this post in the next 5 mins to 10 people, you will mysteriously receive $1000 in your bank account.

Thank you! I honestly enjoyed reading that... It's good to get to know you a bit more :)
Thanks for reading!
Am I one of your four readers? Thanks for sharing -- we must catch up soon. Am very happy for you!
Woman, some days you are my ONLY reader! Hehehe. And yes, pls let's catch up soon. Miss you lots, my friend.
hey, add me to the list of readers (albeit a very silent one). :)
oddly enough, i find myself very similar to you (especially on no. 1) except probably on the phobia of kids, the no. of surgeries had and i'm a wee-bit more competitive i think (though i'm bochap most times).
i secretly wish for shayn to be a pilot(hopefully not the fighting kind). insyaallah.
Salaam and hello! Thanks for reading :)
okie dots, we catch up week after next. In Delhi next week. Got back from Siem Reap last night. Saw more hospitals than temples! 3 out of 5 in our group (Nima's Japanese friend, his wife and her local friend) got hospitalized ... for separate incidents. Nima and I also got very sick but thankfully we overcame it on our own. Will fill you in on the details soon. Miss you, too! *hugsss*
Frankly it was your insane sense of humour that drew me to you, Hon. You know whilst you were here, you never failed to lift my spirits with your witty remarks, some of which had me in stitches even long after you told the joke. I can safely vouch for your limitless sense of humour. Maybe that's where Danial gets it from - sure rite? You sure? : ))
Miss u miss munchgal x
