Remember Izwan's trip to Houston in Nov 2001 where he get to visit the Johnson Space Center?

.

Yes, yes, the trip which creates envy out of statues. Apparently there are more fridge magnets from that time which I have not uploaded here. Including this super cool jigsaw puzzle.

.

So here it is, start drooling, start envying and yes, don't hate me coz I am flaunting it regardless!!

Isn't it cool?

Izwan got me this from his many trips to Los Angeles the years. The rubberised magnet is hardy, but it also leaves some faint black marks on the fridge.

Izwan's friend Rozana went to Italy in late 2008 and gave us this fridge magnet. Italian mask, which still remains one of my favourites.

.
.
I was so intrigued by it that I took several pics and hence feel the obligation to myself to upload at least five of them up here.

Another entry meant for miramagnetic.blogspot.com. Izwan went to San Francisco, bought Ghirardelli square chocolates and travel all over town using the cable cars. Oh yes, he also bought this fridge magnet for me. This is a rather old one, since this is from his trip way back in 2009.

This is what I miss most now that Izwan seldom gets assignments in USA is Ghirardelli chocolate squares!

I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing

Since I am now posting my fridge magnets here in a bid to avoid giving this blog special preference compared to http://magneticmira.blogspot.com/, here is a belated entry. Acquisition from Izwan's trip to Las Vegas January last year.

It is six bucks. USD. Pretty pricey if you convert to our currency. But the magnet is heavy and sturdy. Worth it!

Anyways, "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing" was the song/jingle in a Coke advert I can still recall from my childhood.

Ole Ole Bandung

14 December 2010
. .
At Pasar Baru in Bandung last month, Izwan and I bought (among other things) some fridge magnets featuring the city/state itself. It was interesting how we bargained for the souvenir.
. .
At the end of our negotation with the seller, we thought we got a deal. But we found out later that my sister Ina bought them at half the price we had to pay. And when I was about to complain, my mother reminded me that it is that seller's rezeki.
