The MICHELLE FAQ

ah... blog sweet blog. I haven't been around some long time, but I'm returning with answers to some burning questions you always wanted to ask...

1) Why "Green"?? Are you dreadfully jealous of some1?? - thus "Monster"??

a) Green's my favourite favourite colour - an affection for which I discovered in JC - I suddenly realised it was very soothing to look on, and bcos it's rarely used (look around, how many people wear green?) i it kept catching my eye!! (friends will swear and curse at how I ALWAYS gravitated toward green when shopping)

b) Now that you know my penchant for green doesn't stem from envy... "Monster" came from dear Ann-jie, who called me "little green monster". It's an affectionate term lah! I decided it was nice and unique to call my blog after it - except tat it'd be too "act cute" -
"One" green monster seems to add a nice touch of anonymity;>

2) What's with eating "Cai4 Fan4" daily?! And all the vegetables?!

Cai4 Fan4's like the healthiest choice around - I can get all the veggies I need, PLUS a healthy mix of carbs and protein... And I can mix and match with full control.
What's not to like?
As for the veggies.... It's really for the fibre - I like to have a go every morning... ... instead of carrying around that baggage all day... get what I mean? ;p

3) Okay so admit you're a health freak, you veggie-eating thing. When do you EVER relax?

Think those who with me at TNP really hate me for attacking the Cai4 Fan4 stall nearly everyday... but really if one just thinks logically -
If I REALLY eat like this all the time, I won't be this glorious size now will I?
The truth is, when I'm with my folks, we eat A LOT, and it's mostly Fried and Lots Of Meat.
Plus we don't cook (so no healthy soup, veggies like normal families), we always eat out where it's unhealthier, as common wisdom tells us...
So unfortunately, I'm always doing "make-up" for all this when friends see me.... thus this "healthy michelle" misconception among some.
Trust me, I love kfc, durians, mooncake, brownie, cookies.... and i hate goin hungry ;)

4) Now spit it out: Are you Catholic or Christian?

Weird question, cos Catholics ARE christian what, since their belief revolves around Christ!
But since most ppl mean Catholic or Protestant...
I prefer to say I'm Evangelical.
I side with the Bible, not words - 'Catholic' or 'Presbyterian', 'Anglican' etc. They are too many confusing connotations I prefer to avoid. I mean, not all Protestants believe in what the formal faith says they should, the same goes for Catholics.... and there are many traditions in both which are different, but not consequential at all - things the bible doesn't really care with - so it's so complicated. So let's just say I belive in what the Bible says about Christ, and I don't agree when Churches go against it.

(anw I was baptised at 5 in a Catholic church, which I go with my parents now. I attend a protestant bible study grp at NTU, and attend a protestant churh some saturdays. a few yrs later I will most prob end up in John's church, as I feel Catholism has gravitated quite a bit from the bible.)

Ok! any more questions?!?! Bring them on yah? I'm feeling free=)
