Short break with our babies

The age that I wish to go back to

Thanks Shirley for the tag. I've been doing some tags for the past few days, some funny questions but it's fun :-). So here's my age wish:-

I wish to go back to a much younger teenage age, like 14. Yup, we only spend like 7 years of teen ages but I would prefer number 14. Why? coz at this age I could only think about my studies and have so much fun with our choir members (Tanaki Youth). I can look forward more gathering especially Christmas. This is the time I could go on 'outstation' meaning, we (youth) out to bring Christmas Cheers house to house outside Penampang area..wow I can still remember how excited I was at that time of year! And also, this age, I fell in-love with my senior school mate haha...and another crush with a senior choir member LOL!! The so called 'Puppy Love' wasn't so bad though hehe..

But nothing can compare the joy and happiness that I have now with my beloved hubby, my 2 girls and adorable Isaac :-) I thank GOD for having them in my life!

Mama with her grands

Mama with grand daughter and great grandson

Happy Granny with her grand daughter, Deborah and great grand children

My cousin Deborah came home early this month for her summer holidays. Last saturday my girls and Isaac had the opportunity to meet their aunty again at our grandmother's place. Isaac as usual, nobody can touch or carry him. Only me, his daddy and the nanny can hold him but I hope his behaviour will change as he grows. Deborah is in her 6th years on Medicine in Kursk University, Russia and will be graduating March next year. How time flies, it's been 6 years ago after completing her SPM in St. Francis Convent and now soon to be a Doctor. Here is a picture taken at my granny's place. Grandma was delighted and happy to see her grandchildren and great grandchildren that day :-) I'm not sure if I will reach my age seeing my great grandchildren. God's will!

Cynthia and her aunty Debbie during lunch at Pizza Hut, 1Borneo, they look cute together ;-)

ABBAration for charity

ABBA

'I have a dream, Dancing Queen, Mamma Mia, Waterloo...sounds familiar to you? Right, ABBA the ever most popular pop group in the 70s', from the awesome four Anni-Frid Lynqstad, Aqnetha Faltskoq, Benny Andersson and Bjorn Uvaeus. Music is part of my life since small and still am now haha..I mean seriously I just loved ABBA songs, thank goodness every now and then you still get the chance to hear their songs in Lite FM. I still have their cassettes I bought in my teenage years.

On friday last week, 18th July, our lady boss sponsored a table worth RM5000 for us to the Palliative Association fund raising dinner in Magellan Sutera Ballroom. 119 tables occupied that night with the highest rate of RM15,000 and the lowest RM2000 per table. It may sound unbelievable how people spend so much for this dinner because money is really a matter to everybody nowadays. But if you think it over, doing charity for a good cause is worth spending and God knows you're doing it sincerely and wanting the best out of it especially for the terminally sick and needy.

we arrived a little too early, 6.30pm..excited ;-)

I shed tears watching the 10 mins video clips of cancer stricken children, taking care of them and giving their fullest support to their families. And the hardest part for me was watching them fulfilling their last wishes. It took me several days to get over it.
Few paintings were auctioned that night and they managed to raise RM73,000.00 from 8 paintings. The highest painting auctioned was RM50,000.00, the bid started at RM10,000. Phew...'Money, money, money must be funny, in a rich men's world' ..

The RM50,000 worth of painting

As they served the last 2 dishes in the menu, the long awaited finally on stage..yup 'ABBAration' a group from 'Down Under' Australia hit out with their first song from the original ABBA, 'Dancing Queen'. Wow what can I say, not the original but the ballroom sure 'gegar' that night for 2 hours non-stop. The last 2 songs 'Thank you for the music' and 'I have a dream' were dedicated to patients at the palliative center. It was just great, good music for a good cause..I hope to attend next year's fund raising dinner..well if we're being sponsored again. But so far this was the 3rd time we're being sponsored.

ABBAration from the backdrop..I will post more pix of them soon

The paintings they are all beautiful, wish I could have one
