Not Ignored

It may appear as though I am neglecting this 'anak tiri' blog again, compared to the 'anak emas' blog. Well, it is actually a mixture of yes and no.

Yes, coz most of the time I was soooo-darn-the-very-busy-one that I only update the anak emas.

But the major reason for this alleged 'neglect' is that I have misplaced the thumb drive containing all the pictures of the fridge magnets which I have and have not blogged about. These are the resized pictures, carefully placed in folders with names and properly marked up so that there'll be no double entry for the same thing. I don't know/cannot recall where I put it; tho I'm quite sure I did not throw it away. Until I find it, there'll be a lull period la.

Good thing is that the original is still in my office PC, but now it requires me going through all of them, marking out which ones have been babbled about; and which are yet to be posted and drown all of you into ultimate boredom.

That'll take time, definitely.

Till next posting , just to inform - I recently got two new magnets; fresh from London, yewols. Thanks to Onn.

Spelling

If any of you are not very well versed with your A-B-C, here's how you spell Seattle. Bought in, duh, Seattle la. Izwan's trip earlier this year. Yeah, the one that I know he wanted to be a snow angel tapi keadaan tak mengizinkan heheh

There's going to be a Bumbershoot Weekend from August 30 to September 1 this year at Seattle Center. But it's really an american thingy coz betcha not many mainstream artiste gonna be performing err.. except for Beck & Stone Temple Pilots. So, why do I even write this? Just to show off that I know a little bit of it! Hehehe.

Where from: Seattle

When: 2008

FLA write to me!

I wrote an entry on the lighthouse magnet Izwan brought home from Florida. Read it here. I included in that entry on the Florida Lighthouse Association's effort to preserve the lighthouses.

Surprise suprise, Stan Beckman, the Vice President (IT) of Florida Lighthouse Association ("FLA") wrote me an email! He must have found this blog by chance.

He said "Thank you for your kind words about the Florida Lighthouse Association. We have been working hard trying to protect and preserve our remaining lighthouses. We have bills working their way through the Florida House of Representatives and the Senate to approve a vehicle specialty licenses plate for the Florida Lighthouse Association. If this is approved the F.L.A. will receive $25.00 for each of these license plates that are sold. This money will be used for grants to the individual lighthouses to make necessary repairs and restorations. That would go a long way towards the preservation of our lighthouses."

Grin! Beam!

From Dusk Til Dawn

From Dusk Til Dawn? Hmm the title is taken from one movie written by Quentin Tarantino. Iwatched the movie three times, I think. Don't laugh. George Clooney is the main actor! And... err... well, yeah, Tarantino too.

Nothing to do with this blog entry; it is just that Izwan bought a pair of these magnets - one featuring Seattle during the day; and another of the city at night.
Perhaps I should use the title Men in Black? After all, the alien did want to get into the 'flying saucer' lookalike thingy!

Salt Lake City

Nobody went to Salt Lake City and got me this magnet. This may well come from Utah but not authentically purchased in that state. Instead we bought it in Laughlin, Colorado. There was this stall selling all sorts of magnets from all over USA at one of the shopping malls facing the row of casino.

Unfortunately (or fortunately?) they're not very pretty so we limit ourselves to buy just a few. Now, thinking back, it's a blatant lie. But heck, I'm keeping it!! At least I bought it from somewhere in the States! :-)

Enough For Today

I guess that'd be enough for today. Although may not be sufficient to pay back' for those weeks I have sort of neglected this blog, but that'll do. After al, I do not want to finish documenting all the magnets I have wayyy too soon!

By the way, from my rough calculation, it'll exceed the 200 mark soon! Awwww......!

Disney Princesses

Here's a magnet from our trip to the USA in 2006. I bought the princesses magnet without my children knowing or else it'd become a toy and consequently become theirs. To date, it remains in the office, so it belongs to mommy! Truth be told, this is not a Disneyland original. I bought it along the Walk of Fame; the part of Walk of Fame closer to where the homeless are lying by the roadside, rather than the posh side of Walk of Fame. But heck, it is still Walk of Fame. Plus, I probably saved a buck or two (each magnet) by walking 50 meters further!
Here's some snaps from our adventure at Disneyland - one day is just not enough! Tasha was in posing mood, and you can tell she enjoyed Disneyland much better than Universal Studio!

So did Hafiz actually! I think we went on most of the kiddies ride, and the parade they had was a total WHOA. Plus the night show with fireworks! Awesome. Kumpul duit, insya Allah boleh pergi lagi!!
