    MARAUDERZ'S ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS

    In retrospect, do you think it was a stupid idea to start the spotlight?
    Nope. At least, not yet, so far.

    How long do you think it'll take before Ken goes "*ahem* time to stop it guys..."
    Well... that would depend, wouldn't it?

    Do you think the thread will be accidentally deleted?
    :angel:

    How likely do you think Ken will accidentally trip me when he sees me heeling by next time?
    :cool:

    LIFE AS A BIG PICTURE...

    What is the first thing you think of when you wake up in the morning?
    "ARGH!! Not yet." And sometimes, "Thank goodness it's Saturday...zzzz.... no.. wait.. it's MONDAY!!"

    If I had a lot of money, I would...
    - Travel! Canada, the coasts of US, UK, Europe. In that order.
    - Shop. Of course. ;) BOOKS! Comics! Techie toys!
    - Invest. Passive income, y'know?

    If I had the time, I would...
    - Write! Finish that final chapter of my writing project (Yes, Dashky, I haven't forgotten), and then tackle all the other plotbunnies that have been plaguing me.
    - Revise (and continue) my French language.
    - Pick up handicraft again, learn new ones.
    - Read all those books on my "To-Read" list.
    - Go back into church work.

    What inspires you?
    Lots. People: Parents, peaz, close friends. Stuff I read.

    Lifetime goals?
    Be financially independent. See and experience the world out there, first-hand. Become a person of significance. Have a family. Be a writer (though I'll have to give some thought about the definition of a writer.)

    Who are you going to interview?
    *drumroll* .... The one, the only -- NASYA! :clap: :clap: :dance:

    ROTFL! 'Ere we go! 'Ere we go! :wicked:

    Okay, a soft start.. :wicked:

    B. A teddy bear?
    C. Someone who just had dinner? :wicked:

    2. If you were to have a family, what would be a suitable goal?
    A. The world needs population control.
    B. Let's maintain the status quo.
    C. Global expansion is the key!

    4. Is French hard to learn? :think:

    Yeesh. Come into the office, first thing in the morning and what do I get? Inquisition.

    Getting your licks in before your trip, Boss-man? :roll:

    'S my blue hippo. He was a gift for my 17th birthday. :D

    Peaz and I have talked about this already. We're both from families of three kids and at this time, we're thinking of status quo.

    Alliance Francaise. Took about a year of it -- reached Level 4 of Basic (6 Levels in Basic altogether).

    Some say so. I guess the most difficult thing is remembering (you gotta memorize, there's no rational to it) the gender of all nouns. Every noun's got a gender in French. Cars, tables, chairs, windows....

    (tempted to cut and paste from my CV)
    Speak: English, Bahasa Malaysia, French, Chinese dialect - Hakka, Cantonese, Mandarin, smattering of Hokkien phrases.
    Write: English, Bahasa Malaysia, French

    Maybe I should specify that you're only allowed to ask questions ONCE. :think: .... :wicked:

    If you had to live all alone with out any material possesion, what would you take with you?
    What kinda books are u into?
    Have you thought of some names for your future kids and if so, give us a sample... ;)

    Ahghhh.....just woke up. Huh, Leian on spotlight finally?! Seems like ages! :haha: :haha:

    Interesting interview & good job marauderz! :thumb:

    I guess everyone is still drooling over the contest results...why it has to be on the same day? Diverting attention? :think: :haha:

    OK! Some light ones to start with...

    1)
    ROTFLOL! Nohhh! Why me? :haha: :haha: :haha:

    2)Hmm,...you're in Canada for 3 months? Whasssup? :think:

    3)Is your current job what you expect it to be...? :think:

    4)Which describe you better? A Tomcat or a Persian cat? :mrgreen:

    More and more coming up.. :p
     
  10. Leian

    Leian "Dai Sou"

    Nope. No domestic voilence. :thumb:

    Marginally into cars. I can appreciate them, but don't get too technical about horse power and stuff lah. My favourite? I suspect I'd be happy with a Jaguar X-Type. Or maybe a S-Type, though it's a might too big for my tastes.

    Erm.. Psy, I don't get this question.

    Fiction, mostly. High fantasy, science fiction. Self-development, too.

    Err... not really chosen any yet.

    Hm.. again, a relative question. I'd rate myself at.. 70%?
    How would you rate me?

    Didn't know there's an interview until I saw it on the main page. :haha:

    Yeah... until you write the final episode, I think I'll have to reread all those episodes to know what are you talking about. :rolleyes: :mrgreen:

    Ok, now my turn. I will start off with something light first. :twisted:

    1) How and when did you come up with the name Leian? :think:

    2) Who gave you the blue hippo? :mrgreen:

    3) Hmm... what's the meaning of status quo? 3? :think:

    4) How do you know your blue hippo is a he? :think: Have you wash it before? :haha: What if one day when you get home, and you couldn't find it?

    5) Why dod you like French? And not other languages like Japanese, Spanish and Thai ( :mrgreen: )? :D

    6) Are you getting a car anytime soon? If you were to get one, which one would you get? :D

    Leian "Dai Sou"

    What, you thought you can kacau so much and not make me curious? Some more peaz tells me you (and some others, you know who you are!) also in KL/PJ area but never show up for ARP gathering wan. :naughty:

    Yeah, after I graduated from uni. Visited my aunt there through one winter, also went to Montreal to visit my best friend studying there. :thumb:

    Well... yes and no. Not really what I expected to do.. but then, I never really expected to do what I expected to do. Tu comprends? :mrgreen:

    Hello? A tomcat's a male cat lah. :p

    Hmm. Let me rephrase. If you had to go somewhere, who or what would you take with you. (1thing/person)... :D

    I dont know how to rate you... :p
    What are u most interested in? (gadget, pc, tools, etc)

    What was your childhood dream? :angel:
     
  14. Leian

    Leian "Dai Sou"

    Sorry! Sorry! :kowtow: It's in my new year resolutions. Soon!

    Wah... everyone say start off light... as if talking about buffet or marathon like that. :shifty:

    It's a contraction of my real name: Le(e L)ian. Mis-typed my name once and rather liked it. So I kept it. That was in high school.

    :shhh: Someone who just joined the forums. You all met her the Christmas dinner. :thumb:

    :clap:

    Female instinct. Yes, I have. I would :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: (infinite loop)

    People have asked me this before. I'm not sure why I like French. I just do. I have ever since I was little. Maybe it's a phrase I found in one of my books that began my fascination, I dunno. I really can't recall.

    No plans to get a car. If get.. er... maybe a Getz. Or a Gen2.

    Leian "Dai Sou"

    Who: who else? :wicked:
    What: A choice book. Janny Wurts' War of Light and Shadows/Alliance of Light (in one volume, if SHE ever gets her dream)

    I like tools that allow me to perform my major tasks (writing, communicating, reading, scribbling notes) anywhere anytime. Preferably mobile and not too large and burdensome. Gee.. sounds like my Pocket PC. ;)

    Childhood dream? In what? Life? Work?

    If you choose Tomcat, then you're more tomboyish :p If you choose a Persian cat, then you're more feminine, I guess. :haha:

    1)So which one? :think:

    2)
    Oui. Qu'est-ce que vous aimez?

    3)How come no photograph posted? Post 1 of your best shot lah. :eh:

    :mrgreen:
