Posting Frenzy

My, my! I seem to be having a posting frenzy lately. No wonder I've already made over 700 postings. I think I'll come up with something special for my 1000th post. Going by the rate I'm writing, that won't be too long from now. Now, I haven't thought of what I'll be giving away or the mechanism but just thinking about my 1000th post excites me. biggrin

You all make sure you participate OK. Do remind me of my 1000th giveaway cos I tend to be forgetful at times. So old already la, coz in another few more years I'll be joining the senior citizen's club.nailbyte

Thank you for all your daily visits, comments, EC drops and urmmm... lurks (hehehe). If you're still a silent reader, please do leave a comment or two... I don't bite you know! Just a simple 'hi' will do (if you don't know what to say) and also tell me where you're from.

Here's the last batch of pictures taken back home in April. This one is extra special to me cos it has my dad's picture... just before he fell ill. Get well soon Pa. pray

My papa with some of his grandkids in the kitchen. This is the liveliest place at home where we eat, gossip, laugh and eat some more! Standing from left to right is Nigel, Darren, Joeana, Rodney. Seated are my dad, Jonathan, Natasha and Janetha.

My eldest boy with my 2nd sister. You nak kuih penjaram, Tuhau or catering service for weddings, birthdays? My sister boleh urus. Buat promosi sikit... biggrin

My youngest boy playing with my niece's tortoises. No names yet... Bie, kasi nama dia Skids and Mudflap! heehee

  1. Hi, My name is Spiff, The Spaceman. I'm from Planet Zork and I most definitely am not a lurker. An annoying pest maybe ... LOL!

  3. Hi Nessa! Your photos reminded me of the relatives in the province. Especially the 1st and two last ones. Our family also converges in the dining room where we also do a lot of gossiping hehe

    Will wait for your 1000th post giveaway! ;)

  6. Hi Ness,You have a great site and interesting posts too.Good luck for the 1000th. I'm just touched every time I see family pictures and I missed my family (my parents and siblings)too. You know today's lifestyle hinders the traditional gatherings. Would you like to exchange link with me. I'm too eager.

  17. Rozella ~ I had a great time but the holiday was too short, one week only. Can't wait to go back soon... maybe next year.

    I know how you feel. Almost everyone I know feels the same way too. MJ certainly affected us more than we thought. He may be gone but won't ever be forgotten. He's a legend.
