return of the meme...

I haven't done a meme in ages, but Debbie M. sent me this one, and I could not resist...

1. The Importance of Being Earnest (the fabulous 1952 version -
'A Haaaaandbag?')
2. Amelie
3. Pride & Prejudice (the BBC 5 hour long malarkey)
3
¼. Monsoon Wedding
3½. To Kill a Mockingbird
3
¾. Finding Neverland
4. Life Is Beautiful

Four places I have lived:
1. Bangalore, India
2. Singapore

I've been without a tv for the vast majority of 2007, but I have caught a few episodes of the following...
1. House
2. Ugly Betty
3. Grey's Anatomy Season 2
4.

Four places I have been:
1. Papua New Guinea
2. Suriname
3. Albania
4. Cambodia

People who e-mail me (regularly):
I'm going to include facebook, as I seem to use that more than email these days...
1. Rose Hack (my boss)
2. My Dad
3. Jessika H.
4. Sarah M. H.

Four of my favorite foods:
1. chocolate (fair trade!)
2. homemade cake with a good cup of tea
3. dosai with mint/coconut chutney
4. my mum's tuna peera and dhal.

Four places I would rather be right now:
1. Hanging out with soulfriends
2. Taking a walk in a park in the sunshine.
3. Having a picnic by a lake...
4. Having a breakfast party. Pancakes, anyone? :)

Things I am looking forward to the coming year (2008):
1. Finding out what the Lord has in store.
2. Putting down roots
3. Getting a new camera (eventually!) and learning more about photography
4. I love how Donald Miller describes (in one of his books - can't remember which now) walking on a path to meet God. At first, He's a distant figure. Now, he's closer, and you can see his smile. Soon, you'll be able to see the little wrinkles around His eyes. That's what I'm looking forward to - getting a little closer.

I tag: Michael, Annie, Melanie, Jessika, Caroly, Belinda, Rachel (
happy birthday, Rachie-cakes!), Sneha, Esther, Mirja, Nadia, Sarah H., Sarah L., Jo and Anna.

In fact, I tag anyone who wants to get involved! :)
Join the merriment! Respond in my comments section below, or on your own blog, but if you do take part elsewhere please send me a link so I can take a nosey at your answers. Happy Wednesaday, one and all!
