FLOWER BOUQUETS FOR UNDUK NGADAU

It's the time of the year in the month of May, the Kadazan Dusun communities in Sabah will be celebrating the Harvest Festival (Pesta Keamatan). There seen many activities have been lined up for a month long celebration. I reckon The Miss Harvest Festival competitions (Unduk Ngadau) are usually the highlight of the many events. Each district are to organise their respective Unduk Ngadau, the champions will then represent their districts to the state level Miss Harvest Festival competition. The Penampang Unduk Ngadau was on 17 May 2008. I would like to showcast the beautiful flower bouquets that we prepared for the event. Please view the winner here Penampang Unduk Ngadau Winner 2008 @ Undukngadau.com

PHOTO HUNTERS - CANDY

Spotted Pearl opening her favourite sugus candy she took from the fridge herself. Obviously she is bigger girl now unlike previous months she would ask for help to open a candy and wanted it to be made into smaller pieces easier for her to chew.

EARN FOR SEARCHING INTERNET

I came across this cool money earning idea while blogs hoping. Member of my search funds will earn just by searching the internet using their search provider, sounds easy isn't it? So I signed up to try it out. Why not? It would be nice to get paid for what I usually do every day. And the fantastic thing is it pays in sterling pound. Just click below to find out more :) It's fun..!!!

COLOURING COMPETITION

Crystal went for a colouring competition in Wawasan Plaza on 10th May 2008, the theme was Happy Mother's Day. She only managed to grab hold of a consolation prize this time as the standard of colouring by other contestants are very high especially those attending private colouring classes. They deserved to win as they have put their time and effort into learning the skills of colouring and put them into practice. I had actually visited a number of private art schools some months ago planning to enrol Crystal to one of the school in order for her to sharpen her skills, due to the money constraint and time factor we have put this idea on hold for the time being. Will definitely set a budget for her tuition fees since she has shown so much interest in colouring that I would love to see her excel in this area.

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY - UPSIDE DOWN

I captured this scene at the Lok Kawi Wildlife Park. Never knew turtle also like sun bathing too..:D

TUESDAY TOOT - YOU DID IT !!

After much disappointments and frustrations for not being able to bake a reasonably "edible" sponge cake, SIL, Catherine, finally did a very nice cake on Mother's Day. All of us disbelieved that it was actually done by her (especially me) when she took the cake out from the fridge. It was decorated very nicely (more or less like those made by the cake house), a bit taller than normal as it was a three layers sponge cake filled with blueberry jam in between. The texture is just perfect, we truly enjoyed it. Yes, a TOOT goes to Catherine this week for her lovely and delicious cake, hope she will do more baking from now on.

FOR LONG TERM

It has been too costly to replace batteries for our Canon Digital Camera every now and then. This Canon Digital Camera of ours can only work on Energiser batteries which cost a lot more expensive than other brands of batteries. So after a long thought we decided to get ourselves a Sony Power Charger for about RM75.00 from TecAsia. It should help us save batteries money in the long run.

THIS IS MY 100TH POST

Without realising I am posting my 100th post today. I decided to write something relating to mother's day, a special day honouring mothers celebrated on various days around the world. This special day falls on 11th May 2008 in Malaysia. I received two mother's card this year, one from my precious little girl, Crystal, and other one from Dumex. I would like to take this opportunity to wish all mums a very happy mother's day!!

Coloured by Crystal in School. She said she specially picked a pink carnation for me..:)

This one is from Dumex. Crystal and Pearl are very faithful consumers of Dumex since they were born.

PHOTO HUNTERS - 10 MAY 2008

I captured this cute little monkeys on bananas from the shop in the Lok Kawi Wildlife Park when we visited the park on 3 May 2008. They are so cute that I was thinking of getting one unfortunately they are not for sale.
