Five weird habits

Both Amy and Wozy have sent me the Five Weird Habits bug that has been going around the Chinese blogosphere for some weeks already. I think it's probably easier to list bad habits than weird ones. Anyway, I'll give it a try and here they are:

1. I like to take off the jacket of any hard cover book I bought before reading it.

2. Often request for "no MSG and as little oil as possible" when dinning out at Chinese resturaunts in China. You can tell I don't like MSG and greasy food. Of course I don't do that when I am with local friends or at business meals.

3. I use very little oil and almost no salt when I cook. Don't worry, I get sodium through other means (i.e. butter, miso, soy sauce, etc.)

4. Drink tea (I mean "Western" ones such as Earl Grey, English Breakfast, etc.) without any milk or sugar - although I must say I also drink tea with milk sometimes.

5. Drink a can of Coca Cola or Pepsi a day during summer.

The second part of this Five Weird Habit game works like a chain-letter. I have to pass the "bug" on to five other people who will have to list their five weird habits.

1. Glutter (Yan is a artist, so I supposed she must have some unique "weird" habits.)
2. Oliver (another artistic person...but he focuses more on visual identity and graphic design. He's also the one who designed the logo for Chinese Blogger Conference and Social Brain.)
3. Yining
4. Lok
5. Cathy (perhaps you can analyze the motivations behind players of this game...haha)
