Hurrah! It's Harrah!

.

It cost Izwan USD6 for this Harrah's Las Vegas Hotel & Casino and it is now priceless. During his trip last moth, he had asked what type of fridge magnets I want; since I have quite a bit from Las Vegas already (but of course la kan... since taht is sort of his "kampung" ekekeke). So apart from the usual souvenir magnets and Hard Rock Cafe for me and my 3 friends (Sha, GH & Wood), I asked him to get me originals from the casino hotels at the Las Vegas strip.

.

And my beloved husband did it. God bless him (now I sound like Sookie Stackhouse in the books). This is one of them. It is a bottle opener and he got it from the hotel souvenir shop.

Our neighbour Shazwim went for a two (or was it 3?) months training in Dublin. He bot us this. I think his flight made a stop in Italy but I can't say for sure. Probably he and his family spent time there. And I am definitely not complaining!



This is similar to what Wood gave me; but Wood's magnet is with a bit of colour.

Top Flight Rugby Team

.TThis is a specialty magnet. Osprey is a rugby team, based in Swansea in Wales. My friend and fellow fridge magnet collector, Mrs Wood a.k.a Knot a.k.a. Edryna gave this as a prezzie when we met for thr first time back in December last year.

It features theteam's mascot and it's pink too! If you check the team's website, its all black and very macho. The players are super macho too. It is kinda contradicting but hey, who is com,plaining about drool-able macho guys in tight black jerseys?

I am such a lucky girl! I hot this one from Doodlemom, the kind generous friend of mine who buys me FM whenever she travels. Even within her area (maybe she knows that the chances of me stepping to her residential area is very minimal tsk tsk*)

And it's Robin Hood. You know, that 'steal-from-the-rich-and-give-to-the-poor' fella from Sherwood Forest? Yeah,. everyone remembers him as Kevin Costner.

I might as well post this on,e since I posted Burger King. Got them at Pavilion KL. I asked for 2, intending to give one to GH. Never did, coz she got herself some several weeks later ! But I'll put here as just one item; coz I am not sure where the one I kept for her has gone to. Probably McD, to join the lost BK ones. Ha ha

No Way..... Norway! A-ha!!

Thanks so much to the lady I have never met, yet kept in touch with, and also an avid HRC fridge magnet collector - who refused to be named. This one is now mine. She sent me 2 fridge magnets from Norway last year, plus a couple of others.

I like them so much!
