Someone popped me this meme. Darn, can’t she leave me alone??
Ah well, since I’m experiencing some brain downtime, I’ll give her some face…
4 jobs you’ve had in your life
Toilet cleaner (don’t ask)
Carpenter (don’t ask)
Manual labourer (don’t ask)
National Serviceman
Note: none of them are current. Ok, the last one is for a few weeks every year.
4 movies you could watch over and over
Once is enough. Twice at most. But over and over implies at least thrice. You probably have a problem if you actually watch movies over and over.
4 TV shows you love(d) to watch
I don’t watch TV.
(NBA on TV doesn’t count, cos I don’t watch it - I study it.)
4 places you’ve lived
Clementi
Bukit Panjang
Pasir Panjang
Nee Soon Cramp (it was a few months, but it felt like years)
Note to stalkers: none are current. Don’t waste your time.
4 places you’ve been on vacation to
I just noticed that vacation probably comes from vacate, and a quick check with a dictionary confirms it.
People normally say “I’m going on a vacation.” The next time, I’ll just say “I’m going to vacate!” That would be fun.
4 places you would rather be
This question is reveals a deep-seated dissatisfaction with life and the current state of affairs. Can’t I be happy with where I am right now? Stupid meme.
That said, I suppose I’d rather be in heaven - the variety described in a certain Arabic book. Will someone kindly let me know how I can acquire a b0mb?
4 of your favourite foods
Children are starving in Africa, and we’re talking about our favourite foods? How insensitive!
But chocolate is nice (minimum 44% cocoa solids). I don’t mind really smooth ice cream either.
4 websites you visit daily
Websites? This is so passé - so 1997. I’d rather answer “4 RSS feeds you subscribe to.”
4 tagged
The meme stops here.
And where are the REAL questions? Like
- 4 books that changed you
- 4 people you met who’ve changed your life
- 4 philosophical worldviews that you found feasible at one point of your life or another
Sigh. We live in a shallow generation.
Updates:
- Tym gives evidence that she is not shallow.
- Elaine gives good evidence as well.
- LMD’s attempt to prove her depth backfires.

Tinker tailor you are so cynical! But anyway, your non-answers makes you all the more the mystery man I am denying that I would love to know. I love geeks - 4 books that changed your life! - thanks for the shot of fun at this meme.

I tried to be a little less shallow, ok?
Comment by Tym — January 22, 2006 @ 11:16 pm
Oh dear I think I shall have to be less shallow too.
