I need a short break

Hi all... :-) Yes..no post, no updates.. :-(
I've been very busy since early month with children going back to school, work, sending them to school and picking them up in the evening from parents in-law, managing house chores...alone! Now I could call myself 'Superwoman' :-p Like some of my friends said..do not complain, just keep on going..but it's hard huh?! I really need some extra hands now to help me sort out things at home especially. If you are reading this post my dear hubby..it shows that your wife is like holding a big SOS banner now... I just hope he will be back home soonest possible. Hurry up with the project dear..(selfish lah pulak) :-p
Here's a pix showing my 3 little ones playing at the seaside taken last December 09':-

First day schooling, this year Ruth is in Primary Two and sister Cynthia- Primary One.
Little Isaac will start his playschool in early February..my babies are growing fast and I'm getting old :-p hahaha...

Here and there..

Finally after almost a month without any updates, no excuses but just a simple reason..'malas' (being lazy). Oh well.. :-) I should start of with some pix taken recently and also a pix while on a working trip to Sandakan together with some of our colleagues. It was worthwhile trip even though my back and tummy pain made me so uncomfortable through out the two nights and three days over there.

We managed to organised Raya lunch with the media electronic on the 12th October for the first time in our office. Normally we will do a bigger scale together with the State CEO. Good responds, good food what else can I say ;-)

ketara kuat makan huhuhu..

All sorts of things in a week... :-)

Small yellow daisies catches my attention

This is the cheese cake we ate during one of the functions last week, the sweet and creamy cheese and strawberry syrup was super delicious but I had to pay the price for eating it,
bad sore throat the very next morning..

Aerial view of Mt.Kinabalu taken from the airplane..luckily I brought my digital camera with me on my way back from Sandakan to Kota Kinabalu yesterday afternoon.

I'll be back soon with more pix, mean time take care people..

Kinabalu Shell Press Awards which was held on the 24th August (sunday) recently marking its 17 years of tripartite partnership between the Sabah Journalist Association (SJA), Shell Malaysia and the State Government. I've been in this committee since 1998 representing the State Government for premier awards to Sabah journalists being the role agents of social change in disseminating news and informations through media. Excuse me for not taking any pix to all the winners on stage that night, but it was on front page in our local paper yesterday. Congrats to all winners! RM5000 per awards and one chap from Berita Harian went home with 5 awards in hand (RM5000 x 5 awards)loaded bah!! The fact here is, Akademi Fantasia (AF) stars, Nadia, Candy, Velvet, Yazzer and our first Sabahan AF winner Stacy made a special performance for the awards nite. I was seated a little too far from the stage, with low lights plus the distance. Hope these pix clear enough to see ;-)

Juggling duty and entertainment!

I was on duty last saturday night. 'The Big Boss of Sabah' was invited for a dinner organised by the 'Pergerakan Wanita Umno Sabah'. That night the Magellan Ballroom occupied some 80 tables and the settings was just fine to set the mood for the mostly wanita members lah..with the red and white satin flowers as the centrepiece on each tables and satin drapes all over the wall.

I thought to myself that night, well yeah I'm here on duty but might as well enjoy the night hehehe..I could still laugh for no reason while typing this.

Anyway, I just wanted to show you my pix with our local singer Azharina Azhar taken outside the ballroom, so ambil kesempatan lah..but too bad the person who help me snap this obviously so nervous I guess. See...it's so blurrrr... :-(

Her vocal, wow powerful man! I'm proud to say that Sabahan singers are now an asset to our country music industry. Right?! Beside Azharina, Ebi from AF5 also performed and a duet with Azharina.
