Which famous people do you want to be friends with?

Ah it's that time to answer  one of my favorite Illustrator Emily Mcdowell 's pressing question again! 
I love this one: "Which famous people do you want to be friends with?". I am with Emily on Falcor (The NeverEnding Story!) and Mindy Kaling. 

Other than those names, I am also dying to be friends with Meryl Streep, for obvious reasons, Keanu Reeves, Zooey Deschanel, Jessica Quirk (fashion blogger), Djenar Maesa Ayu (Indonesian writer) and George Lois. And of course, with Simba and Mufasa from The Lion King.

What about you?

ps: Other questions from Emily. By the way, notice how I mentioned The NeverEnding Story on her pop quiz about Childhood Obsessions? Emily did not mention Falcor there but did on this one. Well... Great minds nerd alike. 

What's lurking in the back of your fridge?

It's pop quiz time again! Inspired by Emily McDowell, one of my favorite illustrators; What's lurking at the back of your fridge?

My confessions below;

• Pack of Cheddar. And at least two cartons of soy milk.
• Half bottle of white.
• A jar of sambal terasi that's like a year old (because I am one busy Indonesian lady with serious Asian taste bud and I just have no time to make my own sambal) Ha!
• Three bags of denta stix for my babies.
• Puckered limes. As I think every fridge must have them.
• Cabe rawit. They look like this and is a perfect condiment for instant noodle for midnight snacking. Snacking? Yeah...
• Two loafs of white bread and one loaf of brown bread.
• Frozen peas. And one can of baked beans.
• Serious amount of jelly beans. And I am not a sweet tooth. I think one of my friend gave it to me months ago... I cannot remember who!
• Butter. Butter. Butter.
• Grapefruit juice. 
• Half-opened tonic water.
• Aspirin
• My lipstick. It was melting the other day because I left it in my friend's car. I really love the pop effect the color brings so I am trying to frozen it back. Dummy. 

Below is Emily's.

What do you do when you are home alone?

Here's another pop quiz, still inspired by Emily McDowell, one beautiful illustrator that I adore; What do you do when you are home alone?

This question kinda tease me in a way as... I am living alone anyway (smirk!). But I do host friends, families and or relatives every now and then. This gives a different vibe to living alone as a single woman; I enjoy cater for them, making sure they love the scent I added to the fresh-towels, providing what they usually love for breakfast and just dig into long conversations at night over drinks or instant noodles. 

But I always love to snuggle back to my "alone space" when my guests depart. And this is what I do:

• Walking around, no make-up and... ahem... half-naked. As in, wearing tank-top and hot pants and just be bra-less. Trust me, ladies... This feels very liberating. It is just you and your body. And you get to feel your natural scent and you feel more like a real woman. I do not know how that works but it does!
• Let my dogs hang in the room when I think they deserve it and have serious-long-conversation in baby talk mode! I do this sometimes even when I have company tho (the talking part). Shameless! 
• Breakfast in bed and once in a while, I will take out all of my wardrobe and just separate some that I will donate (also, very liberating)
• Play my favorite music and just dance in the kitchen or dance while I water the garden. I do!
• Read, with no pressure of having to attend to someone's need. Read selfishly... and just dive into the book. 
• Watch festival movies and or stupid serials.
• Drink beer in my dining room, one feet up on the chair. Makes me feel like a boss :))
• Dusting my hand-bags while thanking them for the way they make me feel good at down times.
• Eat what most people think as the grossest food ever: French toast with honey and bacon.
• Blog.

What about you?

This is what Emily does:
