The Linking Tag Rules

1. List out five favourite links - the links can be of business sites, affiliate links or whatever that suits the blogger.

2. Tag five more people to share their links, so hopefully, at the end of the tag, we would be able to share good links with each other.

3. The links MUST be clean. No X-rated sites.

4. List out only FIVE links.

5. You MUST tell the FIVE people you chose.

6. Provide the link back to the person who tagged you.

7. Obviously, it should be an active link.

Well then, my five links would be:

1. Soccernet - Football related, results and news. And more news (I'm dreading the day when the headlines would read: Benitez sacked!)

2. NBA.com - NBA basketball related, results, videos and news. And statistics! I'm a stat person.

3. Yahoo! Sports - For other sporting results, including tennis, F1 and more NBA.

4. Facebook - A no brainer, since lately I've been hooked to it. Seriously hooked. Favourite application at the moment is Superheroes, Hobowars and Friends for Sale.

5. My blog - Well, it's easier to get around from there. I normally read the blogs listed on the sidebar.

Now let see, who should I tag?

1. Spena
2. Najib
3. Hazyr
4. Bakawali
5. Guile

Random facts about me

I've been tagged by Naiza.

The Rules:

1. Link to your tagger and post these rules.
2. List eight (8) random facts about yourself.
3. Tag eight people at the end of this post and list their names.
4. Let them know they've been tagged by leaving them a comment on their blogs.

List eight (8) random facts about myself:

1. I love sports. All kind of sports. Not only do I play them, but I also check the results almost everyday.

2. When I read the newspaper, I always start from the back (sports section), then the TV guide, and then the comics. If I have time, then I'll read the rest.

3. I'm a sucker for free tupperware. When there's an offer for it, most of the time I will purchase the item just to get tupperware. I have heaps of tupperware at home now.

4. I hate oatmeal, but I eat it for lunch almost everyday because it is healthy and easy and fast to prepare. I normally add raisins and cereals to make it more edible.

5. I don't drink milk.

6. I hate waking up early in the morning. I'm a slow riser. Never a morning person, to begin with. That explains why I'm always late for work.

7. I'm a big eater. My friends call me lori sampah, simply because I'll be the one finishing off the leftovers on the table. The fact is, I hate to waste food, period.

8. I think I'm good with my tongue. Not sure how relevant that is though.

Now, I would like to tag the followings:

1. Bakawali

2. Seademon

3. Spena

4. Ryzah

5. Nuwwul

6. Guile

7. Najib

8. Manal

Books galore

This tag is long overdue, but since I have to recall the books that I've read for the past few years, it took a while to compile the list. Thanks to Seademon, for sensing that I am a bookworm and read to fill in my time (I don't do anything else, come to think of it).

And when folks ask me why I have to buy all these books, when I can just borrow them from the library, or those rent-a-book shops, or from friends, I told them, because I read them more than once (and because it is my hobby).

Nerd!
