Family, God, Environment, Travel, Food, Friends

If you’re in KK, do visit the Nature Conservation Expo being held from today until 2 December at the Foyer of Centre Point Sabah. There are many interesting and informative posters on Forests and Habitats, Wildlife and Biodiversity, and Environmental Protection. You’ll get to meet cool people involved in the forestry and environmental sectors (ahemmm… I’ll be there too tomorrow and Sat evening.. wink…)!

From 1-4 pm and 6 - 8:30 pm daily, primary and secondary schools students will get the chance to join in environmental education activities, so please spread the good news to your kids, cousins, siblings, etc! There will be goodies for them. The expo is organised by the Sabah Forestry Department together with other government departments, NGOs and the private sector (such as Starbucks and Burger King - had a fantastic cup of coffee from Starbucks this morning for FREE, yuuuummmy!) Starbucks will give out coffee samplers everyday too. You will also get really cool nature bookmarks from the hardworking Sepilok Junior Rangers (I love their uniforms!!) - so, what are you waiting for, friends? (o;

Well, that’s me and cousin Benn (looking really pleased with our Starbucks coffee!)

Weird things about myself, eh? (o: Lemme think, lemme think…… Ok lah, here they are - sort of weird lah:
1. When I was pregnant with Shania in 2001, I used to purposely go to the HSBC 24-hour section just to smell the place!!
2. Still on pregnancy stories - there was one time I really wanted to taste the edge of an exercise book, and so I did! hahaha It was just a tiny piece of paper lahhh…
3. I can eat fresh cili padi (like, just biting it) during my meals.
4. When I was pregnant with Ted in 2005, I used to listen to Felix Agus’ songs every day for 3 months… I didn’t have to look at his face, listening to his voice would do…
5. I used to change my phone every few months, but it had to stop - what a waste of money! (FYI, my phone now is more than a year old already.. (o; ) 
6. I still love to watch Sesame Street.
7. I started watching Thomas and Friends and I love it! (even bought books through amazon. com)

I’ll end this tag here ya.. hehehe (I broke rule no. 3 already.. hehe)

Shania: Mum, when I don’t know how to do something, I must believe in myself then I can do it.

And she reminded me again when we were walking around in Warisan Sq..

Shania: Mum, don’t forget what I told you just now. Don’t worry about work, you must believe in yourself, ok?

And so I said, yes, darling, I will remember that! Thanks a lot.

(I was still pondering on her words after that. Only adults would make life difficult for themselves when they lack self-confidence, huh?)

Shania and I went shopping at Warisan Square and KK Toys yesterday for Christmas gifts. I prepared the list a few days ago and it is a long list. It’s really nice to shop when there’s still ample time before Christmas. (o: Can still KIV some gifts until you find the most suitable one for the particular person.

The decor is indeed lovely at Warisan. But of course, better viewed at night. Bought a few gifts there. We also had yogurt at Yogur Berry. Very refreshing.

After Warisan, we went to KK Toys to get pressies for the nieces and nephews. Thanks heavens for discount cards. We got really good bargains there. I actually suggested to Shania that we get pencil boxes for her cousins and she gave me this one look (a little bit horrified) and said ‘what?? pencil box? so boring!!’ Ok, ok, I get it. Pencil boxes are for mums and dads to buy for their kids before they return to school.

We’ll shop for more pressies next weekend at CP or Wisma Merdeka.

Thanks for the tip ya! (o;

Woke up this morning feeling flu-ish. Oh dear.. Must be the bug that’s going around plus it’s been raining here for the last few days, almost non-stop.

Still went to work today. Couldn’t really concentrate though. Managed to do some work eventually… But in the afternoon, I filled up the permission form to leave the office earlier. Boss was fine with it (I think he saw me looking miserable and not-so-myself). Anyway, on my way out, it started to rain cats and dogs and it was windy too. I was worried of the possibility of flooding (that’d be a nightmare, wouldn’t it?). Thank God the roads were fine all the way home.

Once safely home, I said hello to the kids and hugged them, and went straight to bed. How lovely to be home. Shania asked me if I wanted the air-cond switched on, but I said no - lah, it’s too cold. And so I went to sleep…

Had a good rest. But I need much more.
