Busy Bee

Busy day, busy week and busy, busy month...this July.

Been so tight up with work lately...while waiting for my boss to pick me up now..we are heading for a meeting at 8.30am at Kolombong, Inanam...just taking some time to say hi...hi everyone! We seldom have meeting that early..left home (from Tamparuli) at about 6am something with my sis..didn't get to give my CJ her milk..lucky I got Jane (CJ's Philipino nanny) to help me. Anyway, got to go now...see you later..to be continued. I love you CJ..sorry mummy had to rush just now.

What a day to start of with....

My sister, Debbie nearly hit the gas pump (mm..is that the correct word?) at the gas station in Tamparuli while sending my mom to the 'Tamu' but she bumped into something hard and caused a slight tear in her car's front tyre and most likely to get punctured later. Two elderly dusun men saw and laughed..konon..yai..so what. We decided to replaced it with the spare tyre but we girls..konon..do not want to get our hands dirty..lucky, one of the gas attendant offered to help us. Deb asked me to give him RM5 tip..I agree but since I don't have smaller change..I did a quick run to the nearest kedai runcit to buy newspaper but instead I bought In Style Mag (May 2007 Issue) for RM4..wah..so suprise to find an old and small kedai runcit sells In Style Mags..and they have Vogue too..and all the old issues they are selling cheap at RM4. Got caught up in the traffic jam again and we were abit late for work.

Aaa..excuse me Deb, what are you doing?

Anyways, I know this is a boring entry..saja-saja buang masa and release tension in the office before I get my feet up...need to be productive at work today.

1,000 Voices Mega Concert For Peace

Last Sunday night (15 July) went to see the 1,000 Voices Mega Concert for Peace organized by the Adventist Development Foundation at the Likas Stadium, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. The concert featured two guest artistes (group) - The Golden Angels from South Korea and The Ambassadors from the Philippines and is the No. 1 choir group in the Philippines and the world champion for the Gospel and Spiritual category in the 2006 World Choir Games (4th Choir Olympics)..wow I didn't know that Choir also has Olympic games! I say the concert was quite good but the sound system was quite dissapointing though, I don't know why the technicians didn't bother to adjust the white screen projection or at least place it in a proper location..higher ground or something? (actually not sure what you called that thing kahaha) and its the organizers job to tell them? Anyways, its their 1st time and maybe the 2nd time there might be some improvement..perhaps a better stage in the future ya. Quite a pity, that the Ripples Choir from Tamparuli (Sshh...I am an ex choir member) didn't sang live (?)...their voices already pre-recorded kah..maybe if each one of them holds a microphone..maybe baru boleh tanding tu Ambassadors group..hehe?..their songs macam lagu patriotic pulak...(sorry kio) but I am still proud of them..being introduced as the best choir in Sabah (really kah?)...glamour jugak sikit lah...keep it up aunties and uncles! Another local artiste, Joanna Sue Henley Rampas, her voice memang ada power and soulful...she should join the Akademi Fantasia 6 next year..you go girl! Overall, I was pretty inspired and I did have goose bumps too..'kalau dusun sakap'..Sumarat bah..aisehman. Makes me want to revive my faith. Well, enough said..God bless everyone! (Ehem..tiba-tiba pulak jadi holy ni)




The bad and pitiful view of the stage..I guess its me who doesn't know how to take good shots/angle...Booooo

This Is My Now Song Lyrics

Hey, I finally got the lyrics of the finale song sung by Jordin Sparks at the American Idol 2007 final concert. I just love this song and Jordin sang it so well but she was in tears at the end, and as usual I was so emotional I cried too with goose bumps all over me.

This Is My Now
Sang by Jordin Sparks, American Idol 2007

There was a time I packed my dreams away
Living in a shell, hiding from myself
There was a time when I was so afraid
I thought I’d reached the end
Baby, that was then
But I am made of more than my yesterdays

This is my now
And I am breathing in the moment
As I look around
I can’t believe the love I see

My fear’s behind me
Gone are the shadows and doubt
That was then
This is my now

I had to decide
Was I gonna play it safe?
Or look somewhere deep inside
Try to turn the tide
Find the strength to take that step of faith?

This is my now
And I am breathing in the moment
As I look around
I can’t believe the love I see
My fear’s behind me
Gone are the shadows and doubts
That was then
This is my now

I have a courage like never before, yeah
I settled for less, but I’m ready for more
Ready for more

This is my now
And I am breathing in the moment
As I look around
I can’t believe the love I see
My fear’s behind me
Gone are the shadows and doubt
That was then
This is my now
Repeat twice

Jordin and Blake's Cute Kiss

Here kitty kitty

My mom adopted a pregnant female Siamese cat named Popo a few months ago and here is one of her offspring. I love cats and I quite believe that it can give good luck to its owner and I used to have a pet cat named Oyoi but I shoo it away (I am soooo bad) since I became a mama last year...but suprisingly I still feel lucky at times..haha.

The Siamese kitten with no name yet

Camera Shy

This is my beautiful daughter Carmen Jewel aka 'CJ'. She's 1 year old now.
"Mommy, I know I am pretty/cute/adorable but please don't take picture of me, I am shy bah"

Sabah Bloggers Meet on 6 July 2007

Joined my sis, Debbie to attend the 1st Sabah Bloggers Meet last Friday though I am still so, so new in this blogging thingy but went anyway just for fun and meet people. It was held in a boat owned by Pirates of Borneo Restaurant (formerly known as Benito's Cafe)..cool, and paid like RM50 nett for a BBQ Buffet. Overall, I say it was okay...fun also but I was expecting some of the bloggers..especially the guys to be more crazy friendly and not so malu-malu kucing. I met some old friends...small world. Again as usual I am always lucky when it comes to lucky draws, I won myself Bon Jovi's latest album CD 'Lost Highway' (though I am not really a Bon Jovi fan)..so my RM50 not so rugi lah. Check out some photos taken that night☺
