An awesome piece of Paris that I have at home. This is one of the magnets a friend had kindly sold to me for a measly sum! And yes, he is now a pengantin baru. Selamat Pengantin Baru, Imran Hamid!

This is one of tye fridge magnets I bought during the memorable working trip to Kuching Sarawak with Sharifah Noraini Noreen, Ar. Yusof, Shaza and HYT. It was good that we got the opportunity to go shopping at the row of shops opposite the river. The stay at Kuching Hilton was especially good, too!

FM: City of Lights

11 February 2011
Arrived at the office this morning and greeted by these two lovelies:
Vicki went to Perth during Chinese New Year break and got me these two fridge magnets. Aren't they gorgeous? Metallic-ky and shiny!! Vicki has an aunt who resides there and I enjoyed listening to her making plans for her trip.
I am not sure why but after several tries, the pic above REFUSED to appear in the correct rotation. So, I guess I have to cock my head to the left to adore it in this blog.

One set of four lucky chips for casinos in Las Vegas, Nevada. They all range from USD5 to USD1,000,000.
.
But unfortunately, these are of no value at the casinos. But to a fridge magnet collector, these are priceless!

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.
