=====

well, adam had responded with those 8 points about me, so it is my turn to respond. before that, i’ll comment on his response.

1. Random: Have been a regular visitor to your blog since your old blogspot days and I guess you are among the few to regularly comments on my posts.

yes adam, i visited your blog everyday though i don’t comment on every posts but yes i’m still consider your regular commenter. 🙂

2. Challenge: Of late, I find that your blog has become too serious. Write something humourous for a change.

eh? but my blog is suppose to be a socio-politics blog so only serious stuffs lah. humourous in what way? jokes? jokes i got many but i don’t like to post jokes… only once in a blue moon. i know. some personal posts with humour thrown in. i’ll see what i can do.

3. Color: Green. It’s the colour of your blog. yeah, cooling to the eye.

yep. green is one of nature’s colour.

4. Like: Your passionate posts on human rights and against injustice.

thank you, thank you. see posts on human rights and injustice gotta be serious stuffs.

5. Memory: Can’t exactly recall but you have been on my blogroll for a long time.

no comment.

6. Animal: It has got be the tortoise. Slow but steadily you have built up a reputation as one of Malaysia’s outspoken bloggers.

heh. tortoise eh. my impatient sister used to say i am a tortoise.

oh really? have i build a reputation as one of malaysia’s outspoken bloggers? not yet i think. me no femmes yet! 🙂

7. Question: I noticed that you are working with NGOs. Do you feel that your blog has helped you professionally?

er… no i’m not really working with NGOs. it’s just that a ‘branch’ of my office department is consider an NGO (by name of POHD. refer link), and we share same building, same office space, same office equipment, same boss, so i kind of feel close to it. yes, in a way, my blog does help my involvement in the NGO.

8. Song: yellow submarine. I don’t know why but the song suddenly came into my head while writing this.

heh. well i like used to like that beatles’ song when i was a kid. i remember singing along “we orang live in our yellow submarine, yellow submarine…”. notice i used ‘orang’ instead of ‘all’. true. it was a mutation of a word in a lyrics, which is quite common, especially for kids! i did thought ‘orang’ was the correct word!

ok, now it’s my turn to respond with the meme on you.

1. I’ll respond with something random about you.

first thing that came across my mind when i saw your blog heading was “huh? what kind of name is that?”. with the ‘lah’ in, it is a very malaysian name! later i read about your post why and how you choose the name and i do agree with you that it is a nice unique name.

2. I’ll challenge you to try something.

come to penang and meet me? remember you did mentioned before once that you were coming to penang and hope to meet me and the other penang bloggers.

3. I’ll pick a color that I associate with you.

white. since your blog name is very simple, white is a simple colour.

4. I’ll tell you something I like about you.

i admire your love for your wife and children. you mentioned them a few times in your posts.
5. I’ll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.

can’t quite remember too but i remember your old blog where you have a negative photo of yourself (right?) at the sidebar. it’s kind of mysterious which made me wonder how you look like.

6. I’ll tell you what animal you remind me of.

snake. why? your name is adam and the snake was the animal who tempted eve.

7. I’ll ask you something I’ve always wanted to ask you.

why or how do you pick the name… er… handle adam? i’m sure it is not your real name and it would not be right for me to ask your real name, so i ask this!
8. I’ll pick a song that reminds me of you.

everything i do, i do it for you… because it is a song by bryan ADAMS! 🙂

ok so anyone game enough to take up this meme? come on, this is a challenge itself from me to you!
