Tagged by Whitle!

Alas, the lion is awakened, and Whitle's going to go on a tagging spree and smother my blog with tags, and torture me day and night, from both of her blogs (using tag-ticklers). Out of cavernous pits will arise. . .

Oops, that last half-sentence was from Leornado da Vinci. So much for undivinely inspired prophecies.

But never mind all that self-added pessimism. Let's get to the tag!


Q1: What’s the BEST book you ever read?

I can't decide! I love them all! But if I have to choose, then the oldest of my top favorites would Michelle Magorian's "Good Night, Mr. Tom."

Q2: Why are you writing this?

For fun! That's why I blog!

Q3: Do you collect anything?

Stamps, money (which I hoard and preserve like Smaug)

Q4: What’s your favorite Bible passage?

I thnk that would be this one,

Psalms 19: 1-2

"The heavens declare the glory of God,
the skies proclaim the works of His hands.
Day after day, they pour forth speech;
Night after night, the display knowledge."

Q5: What do you dislike?

Ground-level ozone and carbon monoxide :)

Q6: Who inspires you?

God.

Q7: Do you doodle?

Yes! I do it alot on my math work (my mind gets bored and shallow and my thoughts go off then).

Q8: What is happiness to you?

Acceptance. From God, and from people.

Q9: Does money make people happy (according to your perspective)?

In many respects, yes, but there just are some things money can't buy.

Q10: Who has supported you through the hardest things throughout your stay on planet earth?

My family and God.

I tag, David Soh (I dare him to start blogging again), Mark, and Tim

Tag-making

Ahh, my first tag. Alas, i have actually made a tag! This one will be all about old times and memories. Hope the tagged people (and untagged ones, too) like it!

1. Name one object that brings up good recollections of your very young childhood (4 years and below).

I remember having this stuffed orca toy. I called it (or him, to be sentimentally correct) "Dimmy". We got that two-foot killer whale at a garage sale once, and I used to carry him everywhere I went in the house. He had one-eye when he bought him, and his dorsal fin leaned beautifully on one side. Dimmy felt so real to me, a fellow friend and adventurer in my imaginary explorations and endeavours. He remains the fondest of my childhood musings, the little black-and-white, angelic cetacean that was such a quiet companion for me.

2. How old were you when you first started using the computer or TV?

I started tv when I was two or so. I started using the computer when I was 6+.

3. Did you enjoy any form of vegetables/fruits you were willing to eat when you were 4 and below, but hate now?

Nope. I don't really hate any kind of food. The only exception would be durian, but I didn't like it then, and I certainly don't like it now.

4. Were there any foods you disliked when you were young, but love now?

Yes. I recall celery and onions were. I don't take onions raw, though. Such cowardice.

5. What was the first fad you had? (e.g. Transformers, animals, Barney, Bob the Builder, Star Wars, Hot Wheels)

That would be my fascination with dinosaurs. I dropped it after a couple years or so, but that was one of my longest lasting fads.

6. Did you enjoy your first day at school (or kindergarten)?

Hmm, I can't recall. I know it's mean ot get other people to answer a question I can't, but. . .

7. Have you ever enjoyed reading? What was the first book you ever read by yourself (or were forced to read)?

Yes! The first book I remember reading was this little book called "Little Hedgehog helps Out." It's a one-sentence-a-page book about a little hegehog assisting his family clean the house and get dinner ready. I distinctly remember examining the last two pages in that picture-book to decide what the hedge-family was eating.

8. How heavy were you when you were just born?

My mom said I was 9 pounds, 13 ounces. Apparently that was huge. "The biggest in the hospital," as my Grandmother proudly says.


I'm out. I tag, Yellowman, Tim, Ben, David (from Edison), and Jian Lin.
Tag five other people after doing this tag.


God bless,
Josh

Tagged by mark again

Mark tagged me. I like his tags.


1. Of all the hymns and worship songs, name one of your favorites, and your most favorite line from that song.

My favorite would be "Be Thou My Vision". My favorite line? Hmm. . . I guess I like the part that goes:

Be Thou my vision, oh Lord of my heart

Nought be all else to me, save that Thou art.

2. One favorite verse/passage/chapter/book from the Bible. (Give the reference and if you're kind the verse as well.)

I like Psalms 19: 1-2

"The heavens declare the glory of God,

the skies proclaim the works of His hands.

Day after day, they pour forth speech;

Night after night, the display knowledge."

3. Are there any answered prayers that you've had?

Yes! I've been praying for more friends this year, and God has answered that request dramatically. Thank You, God!


4. Do you have a default prayer? (If yes then please type it out.)

:?

5. Has God saved your life before? (Any small thing would do)

Probably many many times, without me knowing it. In any case, I'm alive and well, and I thank God for that. I wonder are my guardian angels getitng tired (no offense, Mr./Ms. Angel who is watching me as I type this).

6.Tag at least three people.

I tag Benjamin, Whitle09, and David
