For insurance, I’m writing this piece in Microsoft Word. 
I’ve been having problems with my Windows Live Writer. Everytime I hit “Save Draft” my laptop froze and reboot. WHAT!! I think I need to uninstall and reinstall that damn thing, but I’m worried that all the drafts I have saved up in there (almost 2 weeks worth of materials!!) is going to disappear with the uninstalling procedures.
Lord, help me. =(
I got double tagged, yay! First one is from cbenc12 of Life’s Roller Coaster. For that I’m supposed to list 10 things I hate, which is a bit tricky because I don’t usually hate things. The second one is from Jessie; I have to link 5 old blog posts.
Before I begin with the meme, I’d like to tag people first so that you guys won’t have to scroll down and look for your names if you don’t want to read the entry. :p
For 10 Things I Hate meme, I tag: Reening, Sophia, Jessie (hoho, it’s not the end of your tag game, lady!), Shelby and Adan (because I’d like to know the things he hates!)
For the Old Blog Post meme, I tag cbenc12, maiylah, Sheri (because I want to further love hate her for her creativity by asking her to showcase her five favourite beautiful creations.) and Nicki (I’ve been going through her entries lately and now I want to know which five she thinks new readers should read first/is important)
Alright, let the game begin!
10 Things I Hate
Food I hate: Vietnamese food. I don’t hate it, really, I just would never choose to eat it again. If I have to, I will. My taste buds have never accepted it.
Fruit I hate : Durian. It’s a spiky fruit that smells like cat’s vomit and taste like a raw bull’s intestines. Not that I ever taste bull’s intestine but you get what I mean. My whole family loves it, leaving me to suffer the horrid smell. I told you I think I might be adopted or I have a gene defect somewhere. I cannot possibly be related to three other people who are crazy about that fruit, can I?
Veggies I hate : Bittergourd. Yeech. I know you can soak it in salty water to take the bitterness out, but every bittergourd dish I eat still have that bitterness tinge in it. I used to pick one and chew the edge everytime people tell me that there’s no bitterness in it, just to be fooled again. How gullible can I get?
Celebrities/People that I hate : Tyra Banks? I used to think she was so beautiful and cool but now I think she is giving too much drama. Dude, start living and stop feeling victimised. She has too many issues, that lady.
Event/Situation/Incident that I hate : When people talk loudly on public places, dishing out all their personal details to be shared with hundreds of strangers. Especially in trains and buses! “Wow honey, I don’t know anything about you I just heard your sex life broadcasted aloud! Like, my life is like, totally transformed by this revelation! WOW!”
TV shows/movies that I hate : Big Brother. Or any reality show, for that matter, except maybe The Apprentice. I would have watched America’s Next Top Model if they didn’t have that over dramatic Tyra Banks.
Music I hate : I don’t think there’s any music I don’t like. I’d listen to anything. But I do hate over-the-top emo-ish lyrics. I just wish those people would just get on with their original programme and pull the gun on their head. See how kind I am.
Household chores that I hate : Vacuuming. I started on housework at a very, very young age and end up liking it. I’m convinced my mother had me just so that she can relax after 10 years. I will vacuum if I have to, but usually I’ll bribe/threaten/scare/beat/kick/drag my baby brother to do it. It’s good being the eldest. Now I seduce Hero to do the vacuuming when we’re cleaning up his place. At home I only vacuum my own room. As for the rest of the house, I usually terrorize my housemates to do it. I’m kind, I know. Please stop complimenting me, see how I blush!
Things that you hate around the world : Religious fundamentalism, no matter what/which religion they are.
Things that you hate about yourself : But…but…I don’t hate myself. I’m too narcissistic for that! Do I need to? Uhm…for the purpose of this meme I’ll just pick one from thin air. My nose. No explanation. I just need to name something. Is it working? Hello?

Old Blog Post Meme
A Photographic Trip Down Memory Lane, in case you’re curios to see what/how I look like.
What do you think? Read this, look at the pics and be prepared to feel disbelief.
Friday Facts 6. I’ve slacked a lot with my FF but the latest one is the one I had most fun with.
The Things That Happens in Chinese Kung Fu Films….that will never happen in real life. I had this imported from my old blog.
Thursday Thirteen #5…where the topic is about bloggers. *grin*
Thank you for tagging meme for Adan, I will doing meme these days~!!! I have to think and collect the answers first~!
No problem, I look forward to the answer!
Oh my gosh, more tagging work.
Noo…..
thanks for the tag .. and happy Toosday now
You can back up your old posts by copying your “My Documents\My Weblog Posts” folder someplace safe.
It reboots on save… wow, never heard of that. If you can get it reproduce consistently, let me know!
What are emo-ish lyrics?
I’d stay away from Durian, too! hee hee
I liked that hate meme. I agree with the reality shows. Enough is enough!
Do you mind if I snag this meme? I will give you kudos.
)
I agree on reality shows. I hate the contest style ones. I watch some of the one’s that are more a view of real people’s lives. Little People, Big World makes me feel tall. Hubby and I watch Hogan Knows Best, and Gene Simon’s Family Jewels. I guess the voyeur in me wants to see people’s actual homes, actual issues.
P.S. I linked to you in a tagged meme before stopping by to tag you. I left the link if you want to play, but no hard feelings if you don’t. I always like to leave the links in tags to blogs I love to read. Yours is one of the one’s I’m so sad when there is nothing new.
Hate to feed the penguin’s ego, but it had to be said.
kailani – emoish lyrics are essentially lyrics so depressing they make you want to kill yourself. Haha. Usually have to do with youngsters and teenage angsts. I think I should be kind enough to let them get on with it, it’s not as if I’ve never been at that phase before.
Titania – Feel free!
Tina K – Thanks for tagging me, Tina! Oh, I’ve heard about Little People Big World but we don’t have it here. I have a feeling I’d like it too base on what I read on the net. And you’re right about wanting to see people’s home and issues, me too come to think of it!
P.S: Thanks for feeding my hungry ego. It’s always appreciated, hahaha!
Thanks. Now I have to go out and try to find durian and bittergourd, either of which I have never seen in an Alabama supermarket.
And I have to do this knowing I’ll probably hate them. I’ve actually never heard of either one. What a sheltered life I’ve led…..
I finish the meme, come and see~!
[...] “Mad Penguin” was the previous tagger, over at Life’s Little Notebook. Read her “about” page – great [...]
