But instead of answering all the questions with a <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">personal relevance<\/span>, I have answered with some &#8220;Malaysian&#8221; twist to it, in commemoration of Independence Day today.<\/div>\n<p>The rules are simple. Here it goes:<br \/>\n1) Type your answer to each of the questions below into <a href=\"http:\/\/flickr.com\/\">Flickr<\/a> search.<br \/>\n2) Pick an image only from the 1st page (no cheating by flicking through dozens of pages) \ud83d\ude09<br \/>\n3) Copy and paste the respective URLs for all the images into <a href=\"http:\/\/bighugelabs.com\/flickr\/mosaic.php\">Mosaic Maker<\/a>.<br \/>\n4) Last but not least, don&#8217;t forget to have FUN! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>My results:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.kirantarun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/mosaic4783763.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1538\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/kirantarun.com\/blog\/2008\/08\/30\/happy-51st-malaysia\/mosaic478376\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/kirantarun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/mosaic4783763.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1225,920\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"mosaic478376\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/kirantarun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/mosaic4783763-300x225.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/kirantarun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/mosaic4783763-1024x769.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1538\" title=\"mosaic_msia\" src=\"http:\/\/kirantarun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/mosaic478376-1024x769.jpg\" alt=\"mosaic478376\" width=\"459\" height=\"344\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nHere are the Q &amp; A&#8217;s:<\/p>\n<p>1. What is your first name?<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Kiran<\/span>. Not looking as cute as the baby in the mosaic, that&#8217;s for sure.<\/p>\n<p>2. What is your favorite food? Right now?<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Roti Canai <\/span><span>of course<\/span>. Being a Malaysian, duh&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>3. What high school did you go to?<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Sekolah<\/span>. Sri Garden was not even established back then. I had no choice, there were limited images on flickr with the key word &#8220;sekolah&#8221;.. Fun eh?<\/p>\n<p>4. What is your favorite color?<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">All the colors on Malaysia Flag including <\/span>BLACK. Let&#8217;s keep it neutral shall we? Remember, the <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">old school<\/span> days rule on hair ribbons? Blue, Black and White? Yikes!!! I am immune to <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">it<\/span> now.<\/p>\n<p>5. Who is your celebrity crush?<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Starbucks <\/span><span>(celebrity factor)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\"> Frappucino <\/span><span>(crush factor)<\/span>. No rules on the question being more specific on <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">he<\/span> or <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">she<\/span> or IT (industry), right? Do I have to explain further?<\/p>\n<p>6. Favorite drink?<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Teh Tarik <\/span>for sure. It is in every Malaysian&#8217;s bloodline (dare I say it&#8217;s true?).<\/p>\n<p>7. Dream vacation?<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Pangkor Island<\/span>, Malaysia. I&#8217;ve never vacationed there, or any where else in Malaysia! That&#8217;s exceptionally SAD!<\/p>\n<p>8. Favorite dessert?<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Ice Kacang &amp; Cendol<\/span>. If you are a Malaysian, you&#8217;ll know what I am talking about. Shall I dare recommend the best cendol stand in Malaysia? The stand is between Jalan Desa Aman 2 and Jalan Mutiara Timur intersection very close to Cheras Leisure Mall Shopping Centre.<\/p>\n<p>9. What do you want to be when you grow up?<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">A proud MOM<\/span> of a son who does not &#8220;wrestle&#8221;, literally.<\/p>\n<p>10. What do you love most in life?<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">My families<\/span><\/p>\n<p>11. One Word to describe you.<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Colorful<\/span>. Do you agree?<\/p>\n<p>12.
