Father's Day

All the fathers couldn't wait to celebrate their day
that is why, they celebrated it on the June 14th LoL

Well, actually they do it earlier
so that they are free [to do whatever they like]
on Father's Day!

The celebration was held at my aunt's house at Kg. Tomui, Inobong

once again
Happy Father's Day
to all of them
especially to my beloved Yapa, George
and also to hubby

'Bee Gees'

I was glad I accepted my sister in law's invitation
to attend a charity dinner organized by
Palliative Care Association

why?

because 'Bee Gees' was there to perform
even though they are not the real members of Bee Gees
but I enjoyed their performance

here's their [a not so good quality] video
singing 'Words'

A Promise Is A Promise

Remember this post? I think it happened again ;) Maybe this is my son's luck. It all happened on one Sunday evening where I had chit-chat with my children. I asked them when is their exams. They told me, it will be on the last week of May. Then followed by a two weeks holiday. At this point, my son reminded me his up-coming birthday.

Son : Ma, my birthday is coming soon. Don't forget your promise.
[My son asked for a hand phone as a birthday gift, coz his old phone is damaged for quite some time]

Me : [Jokingly] If I strike 4D today, you don't have to wait for your birthday to get your new hand phone!

Son : Are you serious?

Me : Of course I am.

Son : Do you promise?

Me : Yes!

Then the 'magic' happened again. Checked the result and I really did strike. My son is smiling all the way and kept reminding me my promise [ouch!]

my winning ticket

the result

My son's advance birthday gift :))

Third MBR for St. Michael School Penampang

My former school made another Malaysia Book of Records (MBR) again! This time, they collected the largest amount of aluminum cans.

Their first MBR was the Longest Riverbank Cleaning Up, a joint effort with JC Penampang in year 2007. The second one was collecting the Biggest Amount of Recycled Coconut Shells which entered the MBR last year. Click HERE if you missed out the event.

Once again, my husband and I helped our children collecting the aluminum cans. If you ever saw a family dining at restaurants and brought back [tapau] the cans, it could be my family LOL! Even their grandma [my mother] lent her hand by contributing a few kilos of cans.

Congratulations to the teachers and students of SM St. Micahel School Penampang for this effort. Let's join our hand together to preserve the environment!
