Here are Linda's 11 questions:
1. What makes you laugh?
It's easy to make me laugh. Watching comedies, listening to funny things my son says or sometimes, reading funny quotes/ remarks/ comments from the internet made me laugh. I remembered reading somewhere from this blogger who confessed that she is quite technically challenged. When she wrote about how she always needed her husband, the computer whisperer to fix her computer problems, I laughed. I found the term "computer whisperer" to be totally hilarious!
2. What is your favorite quote?
If it's worth doing, it's worth it doing right.
If it's worth doing, it's worth it doing right.
3. Are you a morning person?
I never considered myself a morning person. I always stay up late. My regular bedtime is always past 2am but I get up early everyday at 7:20 am to prepare breakfast, pack lunches and snacks for my family. My ideal time to get up is 11am everyday but it is not going to happen anytime soon. LOL. (Update: I forgot to add: I took my naps after my son and my husband left the house for at least 2 hours or more everyday because I can't really function well with only 5 hours of sleep.)
4. What do you do better than most people you know?
I am very detail-oriented and seldom overlook anything.
5. If you could re-live one day from your childhood, what would it be?
It would be the time I spent with my paternal grandma during the school holidays. She always spoiled me with my favorite food. We definitely have a special bonding and I miss her when I am living here in the States. I can't wait to meet her again.
6. What was your best blog post?
This is a tough one. I always put a lot of time and effort in all my blog posts. There are a lot of editing and a lot of researching to do (mostly to find the most inspiring picture for a blog post). I have two blog posts I liked so I can't decided which one is better. One of the blog post is about Kelly Wearstler and ways to incorporate her style for your own home and of course my all time favorite post, my living room reveal.

7. When you look back at this year (2012), what do you think will be your greatest accomplishment?
Another tough question. While I do not know what the future will bring, I hope my greatest accomplishment this year will be doing what I love most, which is decorating for others. It is something I wanted to do my whole life. It will bring me huge satisfaction if it becomes a reality.
8. Who is your celebrity crush?
I have a great crush on Takeshi Kaneshiro and John Cusack. Both have great charisma about them.

9. What is your favorite movie?
I have a lot of favorites. Among them are Slumdog Millionaire, Pulp Fiction, Alone and Shutter (Thai horror movies).

Alone
10. What chore do you hate?
Washing the dishes. The mesh of different sauces from the various different dishes and the dish washing liquid combined together emits a yucky odor. The unpleasant smell makes me want to throw up everytime. That's why I cook and my husband do the dishes. LOL.
11. What would be your perfect meal?
A perfect meal would be a bowl of piping hot Japanese udon with sushi and takoyaki as sides. Yummy!
