I am so glad you got the definition of "snack" and "habit" right.

I think more specifically, cynicism is symptomatic of experience which comes with age, but not age alone. I do think we're really all looking out for ourselves in this world and we should be, but it's the little acts of sacrifice and goodness that makes us better human beings. And that keeps me going, even if I'm wheezing along the road somewhat grumpily. =)

Weina- I can't wait for you to get my CD package. I have old standards on there as well as Harry Connick Jr! ANNNNDDDD I was this close (fingers 2 mm apart) to putting Rainbow Connection cos the boy was listening to it while I was burning the CDs. Kismet!

Chin Ni: Hmmm, well, I was more like her a few years ago. Kinda mellowed. But the hair is still the same. Just that I'm not blonde. Or half as hot as she is in a yoga outfit.

Shryh: Agreed. Experience comes with age. And the scary thing is, I too find myself getting grumpier as I move along!

Mint: YAY! Looking forward to it! And as soon as I can get that CD burner in my computer to start working again (it went kablooi some time back), I'll put together something for you ;) Maybe some minty chocolate chip cookies, homemade! Gotta wait abit though. Email me your address ok?

*so malu* oh cili padi... i was aware that i was stating traits rather than habits...but i've got no habits lah. :)

when you get to meet angelina jolie you bring me along ya?

and, we've all been doing this wrongly (other than the 5 things bit). it's originally called The A Lifetime Meme, and we're not supposed to write under "A Lifetime" cos it's the title!
