The Prodigal Meme

Here's the anak tiri that is no longer tiri because I've got nothing better to write.

5 snacks I enjoy:

- Popiah
- Mash potatoes
- Thosai Masala
- Chai pau
- Toasties/Jaffles

No, really. That IS my definition of "snack".

5 songs I know the words to:
Hmm… too many. I’ll just list the ones that are a rollicking hoot to belt out.

- C is for Cookie – in Cookie Monster voice
- Stupid Cupid - sob, I'm that old...
- Rubber Ducky
- Take A Chance On Me
- Majulah Singapura - ah, the satisfaction of being able to sing it whilst the Singaporeans mumble and pretend to know the words during assembly.

5 things I would do with $100,000,000:

- Buy snowdrop the diamond ring I said I wouldn’t get her unless I had RM900,000 in the bank.

- Put one third into setting up and running a foundation for wish-come-true-making. Imagine how many people would be beholden to me.

- Pay off my brother’s, my and snowie’s liabilities. Yet more beholdenness.

- Buy a bank. All your money are belong to me.

- Hire a personal slave/assistant to do all my adult things. Like pay bills, tax forms, change of ownership forms (see below) etc. Those kinds of adult things. The other kind I can manage myself. Most of the time…

5 locations I'd like to run away to:

- Anywhere in the Umbrian region, Italy

- Hobart, Australia

- Sydney, Australia

- Loch Ness, Scotland, precisely at the moment the monster surfaces and smiles cutely and convincingly into my perfectly set camera under perfect lighting conditions

- Cradle Mountain Lodge, Tasmania, Australia

5 bad habits I have:

- Bad and unreasonable temper

- Procrastination – I still haven’t submitted a change of ownership DBKL form in respect of a condo unit I bought in 2002

- Laziness - So much to say, but too lazy to elaborate

- Stinginess - Hence the RM900k condition on buying snowie a diamond ring

- Testing my voice with little hmm hmm hmms after each time I clear my throat.

5 things I like doing:

- Nothing, failing which...

- Snowie

- Sleeping

- Counting money

- Playing God-simulation games – worship me, peons.

I just got stuck on the diamond ring thing. That better be a typo. I've never even written down RM900k. If you have it, well, more power to all the stingy people in the world.

Will said...

Bwahahhaa you finally succumbed...

Like I said, when you're out of things to blog about but still gatal to write something these things come in handy.

All your blog ideas are belong to us!

"C is for Cookie, Rubber Ducky, Take A Chance On Me"


Yes! 3 classics, my friend.

Spot said...

box - no, that wasn't a typo and sadly, no, i don't have it (why else would i spend my time blogging). consider then, the likelihood of snowie ever getting that diamond...:)

wingedman - gotta scratch that itch, just gotta!
perhaps a matter of time before i do the bag flash...

minty - awww....that first comment was priceless! why, why why delete? ;)

Wandernut said...

Mash 'tatoes.
Thosai Masala.
Ah, a potato man, I see.

And what did Minty post?
What did Minty post?

Jay said...

Three of your four run-to places are in Australia. That's pretty convenient! One plane ticket = 3 ticked boxes.

BTW tee hee you like doing Snowie.

Karen said...

do notice, it comes after doing nothing!

and i guess i'm never getting that diamond ring...

Spot, you would be a good babysitter to my piglets with the "C" is for Cookie" song. You are a Sesame Street fan I see. Am one as well. Prefer the big yellow bird and furry red monster any time to the purple dinosaur and his annoying little friends.

Am wondering if you know other baby songs so that we can swap lyrics? Hehehe...

Spot said...

wandernut - ah, our lovely minty was probably being too polite to say something along the lines of what jay did. ;)

jay - i'm stingy, remember? so good value, how not to take advantage?

snowie - love, YOU yourself said you'd rather have a nice looooong vacation.

and don't bluff, you also like doing nothing. :B

boobjuicer - Lyrics? how about...
H is for H*****,
the son of a babi,
O is for ooopsie,
anak satu lagi
A is for A****
Who's attached to your booby
Oh!
Booby booby booby starts with B!

The above song was brought to you by the letters H, O and B.

Karen said...

kiahkiahkiah. but you forgot, the letter "A" also.

and it's true, i'd rather have a nice long holiday anytime! preferably to favoured-runaway-location-#1 =B

and btw, just got my grandma's chaipau recipe from my aunt!!

Spot, your lagu is priceless!! Wah...you so free can write songs, ah?? Couldn't stop laughing so loudly. My in-laws must be thinking that I've gone nuts laughing by myself at my notebook.

Thanks for the one of a kind song. My piglets and I will treasure it.*big huge kerang busuk grin*

Muaks from the piglets...


-The Milky Way aka Boobjuicer

AJ said...

I love seseme street too!

Sunny day... Sweeping the clouds aways...

Spot said...

snowdrop - ah, bribery through my stomach won't increase the chances of a diamond...maybe onion ring can. muaks.

milkyway - heehee, what a nice alternate name! it's easy to make up songs to the tune of "C is for Cookie" :D muaks to the piglets back!

AJ - and Mickey Mouse Club theme song! "M I C, see you real soon! K E Y - why? because we love you!" Bleurk. :D

Karen said...
