OF LAUGHTER
Asheeka Harriott
MEET
Everyone has that ‘ thing ’ that makes them unique , and Asheeka , Administrative Assistant has a distinct laugh that simply put , makes you laugh . TPDConnect decided to visit Asheeka ’ s world to find out what makes her so bubbly .
1 . SHARE WITH US A JAMAICAN MOMENT THAT MADE YOU ALMOST DIE FROM LAUGHTER
The video with the little girl who was attending to a fruit stall , she was being provoked by a motorist who wasn ’ t interested in buying anything ….. The funny part was when she told him he looked like
“ a big trial and crawsis in a d mawning ”
2 . WHERE DID YOU GROW UP AND WHAT DID YOU ABSOLUTELY LOVE ABOUT THE PLACE
I grew up in a community called Prospect in South Manchester in an extended family home . I love the fact that I grew up in the country as it helped to mold me into the woman I am today . I had the kind of environment that allowed me to play dolly house outdoors , hide and seek , Chinese skip , dandy shandy and other games . My community has some of the warmest people , who are always ready to host visitors to the area . I wasn ’ t able to walk to a river but Alligator Pond was always 15 mins away . Mi did ride bicycle and clime nuff tree to ….. As I child I had many chores and the one I hated most looking after the chickens and the pigs . I would always forget to feed the chickens and my grandmother let it slide . I remember the first time I got a chicken to kill , pick and pluck ….. it didnt end well , long and short of the story , the wings were broken , the chicken turned black and blue and it was also partially boiled because it fell in the hot boiling water and I was not able to remove it .
3 . WHICH JAMAICAN FOOD MAKES YOU QUEASY AND IS THERE A STORY BEHIND IT ?
Guango Peas Soup – My grandmother forced me to eat it when I was a child .
4 . YOUR FAVOURITE SOUTH COAST LOCATION TO ESCAPE TO ?
Treasure Beach
5 . THE MOST POPULAR LINE YOU HEAR ON THE STREET
“ D PLACE HOT EE ’
6 . IF I DIDN ’ T KNOW YOU , WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE WOULD BE MY FIRST THOUGHT ?
She ’ s crazy !
7 . FINALLY , WHICH THREE J ’ CAN ICONS WOULD YOU GO ON A ROAD TRIP WITH ? WHY THOSE PERSONS ?
• Agent Sasco – For the past eight or ten years I have just gravitated to Sasco . Hes an exemplary family man , and his music is conscious and positive . On road trips people tend to talk a lot and share experiences , it would give me the opportunity to know him more . Plus he ’ s hot ! ( Winks )
• Beenie Man – Because he has been a long time favourite . I love his songs and also his vibe while performing . And I think we celebrate the same birth date too . Beenie looks like the perfect road tripper , we could make few stops at random bars and have a beer and continue on our journey .
• Asafa Powell – My long time favourite athlete . Asafa always looked
like someone who “ could a do road wid ”
