Meme of Four

Seems that I got tagged by Ben for this meme. I've come to the conclusion that this 'meme' thingie is something like a chain letter going around bloggers, and builds up more links between blogs, in an attempt to widen the catchment for visitors...

So, here's to duty....

4 Jobs I've Had In My Life
  • Wan-tan mee stall owner (well, technically, a partnership for my hostel's open day, but it's more interesting than writing 'IT Engineer' four times).
  • Door to door flyer boy for a community centre
  • Partner in an IT service business (learning to great frustration that M'sian companies are interested in cheap, not quality; and their purchasing officer are only interested in what's their cut).
  • Research engineer

4 Movies I Could Watch Over & Over
  • Chasing Amy, directed by Kevin Smith, which I maintain is the most enjoyable love story I've every watched. You've got to love a movie with dialogue like,
"Fuck Lando Calrissian! Uncle Tom nigger! Always some white boy gotta invoke `the holy trilogy'! Bust this - those movies are about how the white man keeps the brother man down - even in a galaxy far, far away. Check this shit. You got cracker farm-boy Luke Skywalker, Nazi poster boy - blond hair, blue eyes. And then you've got Darth Vader: the blackest brother in the galaxy. Nubian God. Now Vader, he's a spiritual brother, with the force and all that shit. Then this cracker Skywalker gets his hands on a light- saber, and the boy decides he's gonna run the fucking universe - gets a whole Klan of whites together, and they're gonna bust up Vader's `hood the Death Star. Now what the fuck do you call that!"

"Intergalactic Civil War?"
  • The Hunchback of Notre Dame. A lust-driven Disney villian? That's like the most powerful thing Disney ever did before all their executives got clobbered by the stupid stick.
  • LOTR:FOTR. (The Horn of Gondor. Hyuk! Hyuk!)
  • JFK.

4 TV Shows I Love(d) To Watch
  • Coupling
  • MacGyver (Class-A role model)
  • Scrubs
  • Family Guy (It's embarassing how many obscure pop references I can understand...)

4 Places Where I've Lived
  • Sibu, Sarawak
  • Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei
  • Kota Kinabalu, Sabah
  • BSH, Singapore

4 Places I've Been On Vacation To
  • Kuantan
  • Langkawi
  • Melbourne
  • Bangkok

4 Places I Would Rather Be
  • anywhere with a good swimming pool
  • the next geek-con where Neil Gaiman does a book signing
  • a self-sufficient farm in New Zealand with a nuke-proof bunker until the mess in Iran blows over
  • inside a bank vault, with an exit strategy

4 Of My Favourite Foods
  • Sarawak / Foo-chow mee (Took me 9-yrs to find a place that sells near authentic ones outside of Sarawak)
  • Bak Kut Teh.
  • 花旗鸡饭, not seen outside of this one restaurant in Brunei, and it's gone now.
  • Pork fallopian tube. Seriously. This dim-sum place in Brunei used to make an incredible dish. The dictionary definition for succulent should have a picture of this dish in it.
