Weirdo Me

Tagged by Lilsnooze and Beanbean to share 6 weird quirks about myself:

  1. I can stand at a spot, usually around the kitchen, for a good hour, with a piece of scotch tape - to tape/trap all the tiny ants running around. I can't stop till I find no more ants around the area. I CAN'T STAND ANTS IN OUR HOUSE!


  2. I have a penchant for collecting books, especially those of the same series - but they must be of the same size and same edition cover design. For instance, I'm refraining from getting the latest book "Shopaholic & Baby" because it is still in the hardcover pack or the soft cover but bigger size one. They must, when placed side by side on the bookshelf, be all of the same height.


  3. I can eat the same combination of food, day in day out, day after day, for lunch - same combination of yong tau foo, same combination of chai png. Buay sian one.


  4. When eating a burger, though not often, I pull out and eat the lettuce first. Then remove the patty and eat that. Finally, it's about 2-3 bites of the sesame seed bun.


  5. I reach for the tissue whenever I see dirt/dust. I can go round the house with a piece of tissue, wiping every dusty surface that I see.


  6. Being the lucky one to get chauffeured around, I tend to fall asleep on the car ride to work and back home, and sometimes to Heng-parents' place. I never fail to wake up JUST AT THE LAST TURN in.

i can't stand ants too! do you know that more ants will appear if there is renovations going on around your place? i went through that in my office and now i'm getting it in my house coz they are repainting the exteriors.

apparently, ants don't like the smell of paint. so they scramble away!

michelle > missed you at baby jayden's manyue!

didn't know they don't like smell of paint. What i've also done is to put the ants trap - think it's working out quite well - have you tried that?

i was there, but much earlier coz i had to rush off to church for a meeting. we'll meet up soon. maybe over lunch one day.

i've tried the ant trap at home and it works. at the office, we just had to spray insecticide for a night and they all ran off! maybe to my neighbour's! hahahah!

i can't stand ants either, but i've never tried scotch tape on them :) i do #3 too!

Jemej said...

michelle > yeah, we'll meet up soon ya! Off to the neighbours?Ooops.... hee

beanbean > try the scotch tape when there is a mass of ants - it's the MOST effective, satisfying and SHIOK method. None will escape!!!! *psycho look*

#6 -> I do that too!! Maybe its just a subconscious thingy. I hate having to wake up from the comfy ride as much as waking up in the morning..haha

Jemej said...
