100th post

This is my 100th post. Never thought I made it this far in my blog!!

Enjoy the video below

Surprise Surprise!!

I received a card from Pos Malaysia stating that there’s a document too big that can’t fit into my company’s mailbox attention to me and am required to collect it personally. First thing that came to mind was who and what is that documents that is “too big” for the mailbox!!

Made arrangements to leave the office earlier today to collect the document. It was a parcel from Nurnberg, Germany. I was like, hhmmm….. who send me this? I do deal with my German colleagues but it’s not like very close dealing or what, just casual work related dealings. So I was rather surprise to receive something from Germany.

Upon reaching home, first thing I did ~ Yes!! open the parcel to see what’s inside Was I surprise to received this….

It’s a can of gingerbread. Yeah, you’ll be thinking it’s New Year already!! this is for Christmas. For unknown reasons I don’t know why Pos Malaysia held on to this parcel as the date stated on the card is 26 Dec 2007. I guess this is the date it arrives but I only receive the card on 7 Jan 2008!!

Anyhow, I’m happy and pleased to receive this from a lady who is the Personal Assistant to one of the ‘big shot’ in our Company’s group. You feel appreciated from that far away although the dealings may be 3 times in a year the most!!

This is really a nice perk-me-up feeling I ever had since the start of this year!

The way to eat fresh lotus seeds

RM5 for 3 bunch of fresh lotus seeds. I always find it fascinating whenever I pluck those lotus seeds out for, from the outside you only see a nib or a black dot and when you pluck it out, it is indeed very big.

Dried version is always seen in ready to boil chinese soup packages but fresh lotus seeds are seldom seen in the streets of Kuala Lumpur. It is always when I travel outstation, in small towns that I see it being sold…

Corncobs

Bought the above corncobs from Taman Tun Dr. Ismail market for our weekend get-a-way to Sg. Klah Hot Springs Resort. It costs me RM35 for 10 corncobs!!! So expensive!! However, it was worth every ringgit as the corn is really sweet and crunchy. Just look at the kernels, it has a nice colour

And while I was busy cleaning the corncobs, my little boy was busy at the fridge re-arranging fridge magnets. He showed me his ‘art’ and I just couldn’t resist taking a picture of it! Nice work don’t you think so? (just that the head engine got queued at the back and in replace was a car!! hehehe..)

Adorable Blog Templates

I chanced upon this blog that gives away really adorable blog templates. The author is really helpful as well in helping to fix any ‘bugs’ or problems that you may encounter when you try to upload her template to your blog.

Do check out her blog and her cafepress shop (current) before her new shop is launch for some cute adorable items! She is very talented and all her designs are so lovely, I fell in love with them all.

Thank you Gis for all the help. I appreciate it very much

Gracias!

Welcome 2008!!

collection from yummyflashy.blogspot.com

While others are still basking, enjoying and welcoming the new year or sleeping-in after a great countdown the night before, I’m at the clinic visiting the doctor got totally drugged taking the medication and slept the whole day off!! What a great start to a New Year huh…

Anyway this is a brand new year thus a brand new look (header) for my blog. Little did I realised that I’ve been blogging for slightly over a year now. It has been a great way for me to keep my memoirs and I hope this brand new year will bring more happy memories to blog about albeit the first day of 2008 that left me blurred head!!

Happy New Year 2008!! and hope that all wishes comes true for all of us this year and most importantly each and everyone is in the pink-ist of HEALTH!!

Christmas Nostalgia..

It has always been my favourite season of the year ~ Christmas!! The malls are decked in festive Christmas colours, lots of different themes/decorations as they compete year after year and not forgetting those lovely Christmas tunes

Each time I hear any Christmas carols, it always bring a smile on my face as it just lighten me up, making me in a really cheerful and holiday spirit!

Add this on to those lovely decorations and voila, I just wish that everyday it will be this great feeling. No work, no worries

This year, the malls did a great job again in their decorations :

Marching Bands @ 1U, Bandar Utama

Christmas Lodge @ The Curve, Mutiara Damansara

The North Pole Express @ Ikano Power Centre, Mutiara Damansara

Fairy Whisper @ Mid Valley Megamall

I’ll leave you with one of my favourite Christmas carols ~ Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire. Hope you have a Berry Good Christmas and Happy Holidays!!
