Sometime ago, my husband, Zorab learned about the medicinal purpose & financial value of the Tokay geckos...and he decided to hunt for them at our garage. He found a little Tokay but didn't manage to catch it. However, he did find their eggs and try if he can keep or breed them inside this container (of course he punched holes on it). It's been more than 3 weeks now but I still can't see them hatching anytime.
I read from my brother's blog about it recently...on how one can become wealthy by just selling them - 200gm - 300gm gecko can fetch up to RM8000 to RM100,000. But then again I heard it's financial value has gone down due to many suppliers in the market selling these tokays.
Last 27 July, our company/chamber had our Branch Annual Luncheon held at the Magellan Sutera's (Sutera Harbour Resort) Grand Ballroom. I got back to work on 1st July (from my 2 months maternity leave) and only had like a month to organise this event. The luncheon was attended by about 370 people including the Chief Minister of Sabah as our Guest of Honour and other VVIP guests (sorry can't post pics of them).
We had western set menu. I missed out the food tasting session in June, so I thought the menu was just okay this time...not up to my likings though. Pictures here that tells....

Angelina Jolie at the recent movie premier of SALT in the US - just LOVED her black dress!
If you like a woman power-action movie or Angelina Jolie for that matter, you'll like this movie. I was boss-less today and I thought I could catch a movie and it's my chance to go watch 'Salt' - again to the cinema alone. I totally heart Angelina and all her type of action movies like these (e.g. Wanted, Lara Croft The Tomb Raider, etc). Never doubt she's a great & versatile actress! And a cool mom too - my inspiration!
Read that this movie was originally written for a male protagonist and that character was offered to Tom Cruise to cast as Edward Salt but he turned it down and they remake the part for Angelina as the woman spy 'Evelyn Salt'. And for that - thanks to Tom Cruise. The movie is a big hit with remarkable storyline & had large impact on me. Will go buy the DVD later for my 'Angie Movies' collection.
Synopsis: As a CIA officer, Evelyn Salt (Jolie) swore an oath to duty, honor and country. Her loyalty will be tested when a defector accuses her of being a Russian spy. Salt goes on the run, using all her skills and years of experience as a covert operative to elude capture. Salt's efforts to prove her innocence only serve to cast doubt on her motives, as the hunt to uncover the truth behind her identity continues and the question remains: "Who Is Salt?"
For now...I still have nothing much to say...except this - Yes! Screw you Bella....but not this way guys (haha). Cute but outrageous!
Anyways, have a cool weekend...do something funky...mine will be spending quality time with my two munchkins, CJ & Chardon (both are having cold - sigh, blamed it on the weather)
I've not been blogging for awhile, been really busy since I started work in July (after my maternity leave)...been rushing like hell in organising my company's annual luncheon held on 27 July...hosting about 350 people including the Sabah's Chief Minister as our Guest of Honour & some other VVIP guests and I only have a month to organise it . I'll find some time later to blog about it.
Anyway, just a short visit & quick post here, I saw this video of Kari Jobe, a young contemporary christian singer, I thought this music and lyrics of hers is simply sweet and touching. Enjoy!
You Are For Me by Kari Jobe
So faithful. So constant. So loving and so true. So powerful in all You do.
You fill me. You see me. You know my every move and You love for me to sing to You.
I know that You are for me. I know that You are for me. I know that You will never, forsake me in my weaknesses I know that You have come now, even if to write upon my heart. To remind me who You are.
So patient, So gracious, So merciful and true… So wonderful in all You do. You know me. You see me. You know my every move. You love for me to sing to You
Lord, I know that You are for me. I know that You are for me. I know that You will never, forsake me in my weaknesses. I know that You have come now, even if to write upon my heart. To remind me that I know that You are for me.
I know that You are for me. I know that You will never, forsake me in my weaknesses. I know that You have come now, even if to write upon my heart. To remind me who You are.
The World Cup is now over but the Twilight Saga fever still continues on, especially when it's 3rd installment 'Eclipse' has just started showing on cinema. Twi-hard fan like me certainly would'nt miss watching it too - ya, watched it yesterday during lunch hour at Growball Cinema...alone but next to me was a young pregnant lady who was a lone ranger too so it was okay. The hall was not even half full but the audience were fun and everyone clapped when Bella admitted her love for Jacob and asked him to kiss her. So I guess most of them are on Team Jacob. And this time for this 3rd part - I'm on Team Jacob! And he is hotter than Edward..hehe (remember Jacob's corny lines?). And it's the best 'Twilight' film so far - it's more action-packed, cute but still a lil chessy and charmingly romantic. I still can't stand Kristen's acting though. There's some cool accessories featured in the film but I particularly liked these ones:
Bella's engagement ring from EdwardI'm not sure if this is the bracelet that Edward gave Bella but it looks something like it
Jacob's bracelet for Bella - this one I SO LIKED!
The vampire-werewolf war / love triangle begin - again....it's getting more and more interesting and can't wait for the next one 'Breaking Dawn'.
