Instant Fame

I think most of you people have read about it at Yahoo just recently - what's stated as an international mystery, where a simple family from Missouri, USA got their family's x'mas card photo end up as Ad in a grocery store window in Prague, Czech Republic. The lady in the picture, Danielle Smith posted that particular pic on her blog and a few social networking sites (like FB). Read more here - interesting!


It's cool to be well known/famous instantly from something that happen like that even in such an odd way and for just a short period.

And I think Danielle's blog - Extraordinary Mommy is interesting too - I like! I've put up a link to it in here already. After that odd incident, she receives tons of visitors to her blog which no longer is non-existent to the world. Good read on motherhood!

Talking about motherhood, I recently bought Jewel's (by the way, I took her name for my Carmen's 2nd name & after volunteering for the Borneo International Jewellery Fair that I 1st found out I was pregnant) latest and 7th studio album "Lullaby". It's really good for babies and toddlers ears - recommended and I love it too! Heard that this album were influenced by movies like Shrek that can be enjoyed by both children and adults.

First Malaysian 'Angkasawan' in Space

Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor Sheikh Mustapha
Born on 27 July 1972 (35 years old) in Kuala Lumpur
Orthopedic surgeon, part-time model (I remembered seeing him appeared in some commercial ads and you can also see his face in the kotak Milo) and now the first Malaysian 'Angkasawan' to fly to space.

Everyone thinks he's drop dead gorgeous..oh yes indeed...I guess even the guys would love to be in his shoes that he's got all the package..the brains and the looks! But sorry girls...he's got a sweetheart (sigh). Sorry husby..I kinda have a little crush on him..just for funlah..hahaha.

It was really an interesting moments to watch the Soyuz TMA-11 Rocket launched live last night..I got goose bumps when they did the countdown...scary and excited that I crossed my fingers that nothing wrong or tragic will happen. I noticed there was a nervous look on Dr Sheikh's face but we Malaysians are all proud of him. I am so inspired with US Astronaut's Peggy Whitson, Commander of the Soyuz Misson and is set to be the first woman to command the International Space Station (ISS). Such a tough woman and she even walks like a man. Her quote "One of the special things about the view of the Earth from space is that it is one planet and that it is very beautiful. I think it is a good illustration of the fact that there don't need to be any wars"...extracted from the Daily Express today....nice one!

Let's all pray and wish Dr Sheikh's safe return to Earth on Oct 21...probably he'll get a Datukship after that.

In Memory of Nurin Jazlin

Nurin Jazlin
May her soul rest in peace

I have been following up with the gruesome murder case of Nurin Jazlin in the news everyday...it really saddened me and at the same time so angry with the murderer whom is still widely on the loose and might repeat his barbaric act on someone's child. He is a MONSTER and insanely sick person, and should be sent to the gallows once caught! I agreed that all child rapists and molesters should be given the death sentence and the Malaysian law system should enforce it NOW! As a mother myself, I can imagine the pain and grief that Nurin's mother is going through right now. I too feared for my daughter's safety.

This MONSTER might be eating roti canai in the Mamak's stall now or even flying by Air Asia now attempting to escape to other States..OMGuttttttt. Let's just wish he cannot sleep and has hellish nightmares everynight. If the cops can't find him anytime soon, may he kena sambar by lightnight and burn to hell! I just can't stand this kind of news...what is happening to this world...there's still some people out there acting like animal.

Let us now have a moment of silence (for a minute)......

Advise to all parents out there...don't let your young children wandering to any places alone eventhough its only a few distance away from home and must always teach them not to speak to strangers. When my CJ is older, I will take her to martial arts classes..good for building confidence in herself and for self defence.
