Who am I?
The age old question. As my previous readers will know, my name is Suey Miller and I have been nominated by one of my beautiful best friends and fellow blogger +claudia wright for the Liebster Award. Its essentially an email chain that goes around various bloggers asking them personal questions to answer, before they then themselves create a new list of questions and forward them onto other bloggers! In simpler terms, a nice and funny way to get to know the blogger behind all of the drivel that they post! So here it goes...
1. If you were a contestant on mastermind, what would your specialist subject be?
This is actually a great question because I was talking about this at work about a week ago. Someone asked me what it would be, and I was stumped, I couldn't think of 1 topic that I knew absolutely everything about. So I went off, and it actually made me feel quite sad. I was thinking right that's it, I need to start learning about something really random, because I don't think netball or cheese is really mastermind material. And then it hit me, HARRY POTTER! I am actually obsessed, everything about it makes me happy. (And don't tell anyone, but I have a bit of a thing for Voldemort) Not even sorry.
2. If you could only eat 1 meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
This is probably the hardest decision I have ever had to make because I love everything.. But it would have to be a Taco Pizza from Dogs N Dough (That I have written about in a previous blog). I would travel to the other side of the world for that pizza.
3. Why did you take up blogging?
I wrote about this in my first blog.. I like keeping busy, and blogging is a way of killing a bit of time when I get home from work. I also have quite a few people asking me where I get some of my clothes from, so naturally I thought sharing it in 1 place instead of replying to individuals was a much more efficient use of my time! It also gives me a chance to network with local businesses and find out a bit more about them and looking for reasons to try new stores and get others to support smaller boutiques too! I am the kind of person that gets quite bored easily so I am constantly on the look out for a new hobby. I have done netball, running, guitar, pole fitness, blogging and my mum is going to teach me how to use the sewing machine which will be my next little project!
4. What is your biggest achievement to date and why?
Most probably when I got onto the Business Apprenticeship scheme that I am on now.. Due to finish in June so that will make it a REALLY great achievement. I have worked awfully hard to be where I am, and I have pretty much finished all of my NVQ work which was a big relief so I can concentrate fully on the day job. Stats also show that it is harder to get onto this apprenticeship scheme then it is to get into Cambridge. #TheChosenOne
5. What is your favourite thing about yourself? And what would you like to change?
I'm not sure if this question meant physically or personality traits but, not being 1 to toot my own horn, I actually like how selfless I can be. Whether it be going out of my way at work to help someone get a task done, or getting a round in for the girls, or looking after the beautiful Chlo so Jonny can go watch footy. My motto has always been "Its nice to be nice". I think the world would be a better place if everyone put others first once in a while. There are actually 3 things I would like to change about myself.. 1. I can be very indecisive and I think this is down to how laid back I am, I'd like to be able to decide where I want to go for dinner once in a while. 2. My nose. As crazy as it sounds, my right nostril is longer than my left one and I actually hate it. 3. My skin, like I have said in a previous blog, I have a lot of scaring on my face from when I was younger and it can make me feel very self conscious like 70% of the time. I wish it didn't bother me, but it does.
6. Explain your style in 3 words
Not weather appropriate.
7. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Hopefully with some sort of promotion under my belt at work.. My plan is to get into management and eventually get higher than my dad (Head of Procurement), which is going to take a lot of graft but I want to beat him. Possibly studying a Business Management degree if work are feeling generous and want to pay for me! I'd also like to be living with Jonny in a nice little 2/3 be, probably have a dog named Dave, be financially stable and still be surrounded by my wonderful friends and family.
8. What is the most expensive beauty product/item of clothing you own?
I'm not one for splashing out on extravagant garments and I've never felt the need for designer gear.. I am a proper bargain hunter! (As you can probably tell from my blogs!) BUT saying all that, I once went a little crazy and bought a £180 black sequin dress from Topshop. It was looking at me with little puppy dog eyes and I just couldn't say no. The motto YOLO seems appropriate right now.
9. What is the story behind your blog name?
Its probably the worlds shortest story.. Its Suey Miller, because that is my name. Sorry to disappoint anyone that was expecting something a little more adventurous.
10. Who is your favourite Kardashian and why?
Khloe, because she is funny as f**k, doesn't take crap off anyone and she has also worked her ass off and looks absolutely amazing for it. Fair play to the girl!
11. If you had a dinner party and could invite 3 people (dead or alive), who would they be?
I thought about this question for a while and trying to narrow it down to who I would most want to meet the most...
- Serge from Kasabian, I just think he is a proper lad and would be up for sambucca shots before, during and after each course
- Cara Delevingne, because she seems like she is quite funny/quirky, and I could also get some amazing style tips from her. She is my absolute icon.
- David Beckham, because everyone likes a bit of eye candy.
