REVISIT : All Blacks #87

Revisiting the All Blacks New Zealand magnetto. I remember I asked Hisham to buy me some when he went for a family holiday there. I think it is a country one must visit; especially after my favourite trilogy : Lord of the Rings.

This is a picture you have seen in my earlier entry dated 28 January 2008. You can click here to see it: Click click.

I have taken the side profile picture of the magnetto. The player is actually leaning forward, so it is a perfect 'doll' of a player, the full body, except fore the shoes which are embedded into the big rugby ball at his feet, where the magnet piece is attached.

Whale Up

#17

Hisham Albakri bought this for me during his trip to New Zealand a few years back. Being the 'tamak' person that I am, and knowing there are various interesting parts of NZ - I wasn't about to be satisfied with souveir fridge magnets.

So I went to the money changer, converted some money into NZ currency and imposed it as an obligation for Hisham to spend them on magnets for me. Poor Hisham had to oblige. And I thank him for being so accomodating!

This whale is the first of several that he bought.
