Liebster Award

So it’s always a ‘thing’ when you begin a blog, a thought or THE thought that crosses your mind – who is actually reading this? Well thanks to the folks at Culture Quote, I now know that someone is still enjoying Singapore Spice, and I am truly humbled and grateful for the nomination for the Liebster Award by Diane, the founder of Culture Quote. The award appears simply to be something that raises awareness of your blog, and upon being tagged as one of my nominees, you have to display the Liebster award badge on your blog, list 11 random facts about yourself, respond to 5 questions that I’ve posed, choose 5 blogs that you nominate and pose 5 questions to them. My name is Jade, and I am the sole writer on Singapore Spice, a blog that I began as I studied in Singapore for a semester! Here goes my response 🙂

My responses

If there was a singular wish you could have granted (standard rules: no wish for wishes, etc.) what would you wish for and why?

This a difficult one, probably a world free of judgement, so that people could freely be who they want to be without fear.

2. What is your most cherished memory?

This is one of them – when my little brother had the chickenpox, he ran into my arms and laid there, hugging me tightly until he fell asleep. It was really special for me.

3. What is your most common typo?

Writing your when I’m supposed to write you’re. I make myself cringe.

4. If you could spot-on impersonate anyone in the world, who would that be?

I’ve never been one for impersonations…to be perfectly honest I wouldn’t want to. Although when my hair was longer I was constantly told that I look like Michelle Obama…so maybe if I could get the whole personality thing down, I could marry the leader of the free world?

5. What is the one song you cannot get out of your head recently?

Novacane – Frank Ocean
