Awards
I would like to say a big “thank you” to all the five people who have recently nominated me for awards. My heartfelt thanks to all of you who frequently visit my blog and give me much joy and encouragement. All of these are too good to be true!
Sunshine Award:
Many thanks to Kofegeek who nominated me, I am sure you will find her blog interesting, witty and humorous. She has nominated me in April and since I am such a big lazy procrastinator I had not accepted the award till now, and my heart is full of guilt. Also, recently I have been nominated by Travel Photo Media, a Paris-based freelance photographer for the same award. You can check out her blog here, which is full of captivating and amazing images. To accept this award I shall answer 10 questions:
- Favorite color: blue, as in a blue sky
- Favorite animal: deer, perhaps? I find it beautiful
- Favorite number: 12 (lucky number it is)
- Favorite drink: iced milk tea (wow that’s a really Hong Kong-styled drink – courtesy Wikipedia)
- Favorite website: I read Engadget every day…
- Passion: photography, eating, science
- Prefer getting or giving presents: honest answer is the former, but I will just say “both”
- Favorite pattern: waves
- Favorite day of the week: Saturday, if I don’t have to work. (Sunday is filled with dread for the upcoming week…)
- Favorite flower: what a difficult question… daffodils?
My 10 nominations for the Sunshine Award are:
- Travel Culture Food (really nice pictures of places I dream to go to)
- Mental Coaching 365 days (inspiring self-discovery)
