Ramblings About My Life..

The Seven Thingamajigs

This probably has all the makings of an epic tale - just when I thought that I had lost all my blogging impetus, a deus ex machina worthy of the machinations of Tinseltown came to my salvation. This tale began like any other B grade movie flick. I was sitting on my chair, facing my laptop, wondering what on Earth can I blog about today? when someone pounded on my door. The latch was lifted by trembling hands, the door gently eased aside, my heart racing at the thought of what nefarious creatures with plans for my demise lurked outside my door. Oh. It's just Wei Jin. Time for dinner. I promptly went back to my laptop to put it on "standby" mode as I always do when I go down for mealtimes. Before the screen shutdown, I caught a glimpse of a webpage that I was surfing - Yih Seong's blog. Aha! Now I know what to blog about!

I got tagged by Yih Seong a week or so ago - then Chye Hing tagged me as well. At that time, I was absolutely oblivious to whatever the term "tagged" meant. My only understanding of it at that time was that it had something to do with barcodes and price tags. However, after visiting a couple of blogs, it became apparent that if you were "tagged" by a fellow blogger then it became your task to write about the stuff that the person who tagged you wrote. It seems as though "tagging" is a way to coerce someone into writing what someone else wants him to - whatever happened to the freedom and autonomy of individuals? This, my dear readers, is electronic subjugation at it's worst. Well, I'm just kidding. I'm not exactly complaining, for it's entirely one's own decision whether to respond to the "tag" and it kind of makes for interesting reading! Hahaha! Anyway, it seems fun, so here goes:
