when you were young
from memegirls. The theme is you as a child.
1. My obsession was: the Spice Girls, drama, action, dinosaurs
2. My favorite TV show was: Ksatria Hitam, Kung Fu: The Legend Continues, MTV Asia Hit List
3. My favorite book was: The Hobbit, Caddie Woodlawn, Fairy Tales (a book, I swear), People (not the magazine)
4. My favorite movie was: Space Jam, Men in Black, Fantasia, The Lion King, Jurassic Park
5. My favorite food was: fried chicken, rice, ketchup, teh sosro (bottled extremely sweet tea), puff pastries, semur (a particular kind of soup-sauce that meatballs are cooked in), ramen noodles, gurame (gourami is the Western spelling - it's the best fish in the world), air kelapa (coconut water, right out of the coconut). Yeah, it's easy to like food when you grow up in Indonesia.
6. My LEAST favorite food was: "sawi" - this godawful Indonesian vegetable dish the color of vomit with the texture of slime
7. My favorite stuffed animal was: uh... I didn't have a favorite, though I did like my cat families, my starfish "Starla", and my stuffed giraffe whose head was always too heavy for his neck to bear, and ended up a decrepit hunchback of sorts
8. My favorite color was: pink, and then blue
9. My favorite thing about school/preschool was: my teachers, my friends, what we did on the fun days, like Friday, our presentations, arts and crafts, environmental themes, recess
10. My favorite game was: it became Monopoly - before then I didn't have any
11. My favorite toy was: Lego, the Paradise edition, and Barbie
12. My best friend was: Lexi
13. My worst enemy was: Nonon
14. My "boyfriend"/"girlfriend" was: I had a crush named Rikki
15. My teacher's name was: uh... the ones that made the strongest impressions were Ibu Lola, Pak Craig, and Pak Dave (ibu = mrs or ma'am, and pak = mr.). Bu Lola was my 3rd and 5th grade teacher and she was tough, but awesome, and told ghost stories on the last day of the year, and chided us for not wanting to do so well on tests that we'd commit suicide, like Japanese students, and Pak Craig taught us Maori songs and dances, and he and Pak Dave really encouraged my writing. Pak Dave was I think the first teacher I was very attached to. I ran to his house and gave him a poem when he was leaving to go back to America (we lived in the same suburb) - I'm pretty sure the poem involved something about scratching my hand on barbed wire, or something - like that was how him leaving made me feel.
16. The name I called my mom was: Mama, then Mom
17. The name I called my dad was: Daddy, then Ayah
18. Another grown up in my life was: erm... Uncle Pal, one of my dad's friends. He has a vacation house in the mountains in Bandung and there's this really cute picture of me holding one of the baby goats in his backyard. We went there a lot. One time he saw me reading a book at the dinner table on ghosts and he chastised me for it, and he was like, "You want a ghost story, I'll tell you a ghost story." He proceeded to tell a story about a guy who was out at night and kept seeing people, like becak drivers, warung owners, satay vendors, who all had... no face. And it really creeped me out.
19. My favorite thing to pretend was: that there was some threat to our school - aliens or ghosts or an evil military or something - and we, the students, all had to join forces and fight it
20. I was scared of: ghosts - lots and lots of ghosts, and that's pretty much it. Oh, and getting lost in the grocery store/ abandoned by my parents.
And the bonus question...
What did you want to be when you grew up? "the first female soccer player", a paleontologist, and finally, towards the end, a lawyer
