Amazing Arrow Helicopter

Taking a break for the Drum Cake series to bring you this lovely entry *smirk*

What on earth is this??? This, my beloved, is THE Amazing Arrow Helicopter - a "toy" that we discovered accidentally last night. Hidden treasures, hidden pleasures happens when you least expect them (someone told me before that LOVE also happens when you least expect it - yeah, right).

Went out for dinner at Topspot last night, then onwards to Main Bazaar to find some fridge magnets. Glad that there's a souvenir shop still open at that hour! (around 9.15). On the way back to the car, the sound of sape playing at the opposite waterfront drew our attention and we cross over to see this guy street performing. At 9.30 pm! Sorry, really bad pix with the mobile without flash at a poorly lit place.

We hung around for a while, enjoying the beautiful chilly night and gentle lull of the sape. Then we moved on along towards the Astana just to enjoy the Waterfront. The DUN looks BEAUTIFUL with it's reflection in the river.

Then, suddenly, someone spotted some UFO in the night sky and marched as fast as they could to get to the source. That's when this was discovered.

It's kindda like a sling - but not with peebles at the end, but rather, a "helicopter"-like-wing. You point it towards the sky, pull the elastic band and shoot away. With the LED light attached to the bottom, it was so beautiful in the night sky and gosh, what pure, simple fun that was. I got a few more to bring back to Lawas - I reckon they will look beautiful in the dark kampung sky *grin*

Oh, forgot to mention that on the way to the Waterfront earlier, we saw Rapunzel movie poster and decided to call MBO to see if they have the show. And yes! They have it at 10.45. So after enjoying ourselves silly with the Amazing Arrow Helicopter, we went over to tHe Spring for the show.

It's a nice nice nice show. Still can't beat Princess and the Frog in my book, but the way the story goes was unexpected. Refreshing. Erm, no, won't do a review of the movie here, but now, I'm longing to have short hair like this

or rather... this...

But since I will never be as awesome looking as Meg or Rapunzel, I guess, I'll have to make do with my hair as it is now! Hohoho!

Togs, Dawn - Noel and I had an A.W.E.S.O.M.E., unexpected night last night. Thanks for the time and the impromptu-ness (yeah, I know, there's no such word) of it all - even if it means freezing oneself till death in a super cold cinema! *Lotsa Hugs!*

Enough.... NEVER!!!

The reason I do not blog as often as I'd like would fall into the below reasons:


1) I need to have photos to go with my post
2) I do not have a camera (which I don't really mind, since I can still use my phone)
3) My phone does not come with a cable (how could that be???)
4) I do not have a card reader...

So, I normally have to wait for a while before I can d/l my photos... and by then, I would have lost my blogging idea... sigh...

Anyway.... :) On towards more interesting stuff... I am having a SUPERB start of August... and that's simply because, as Jane would call it... I'm having lots of "theraphy" sessions! Friends overdose? NEVER!

Hurrah for friends!!! Hurray for this gift of love one chooses to give one self :)

First... met up with Lisa (or better known as Puan among the others)... long time friend from Uni days... I think the last time I met her was... 6 yrs ago (and that was just a short short meet at Kuching's airport!)... We went to a BookStore - she wanted to buy a library of 66 books... I chatted with the storekeeper (who goes to BM service with us), she then told me she had the latest of Welyar Kauntu and of knowing that I love love LOVE Welyar, put on the songs for us. Naturally, Lisa bought a copy of the CD. I was mentioning about the cover being a tad broken and the counter lady simply took off the price tag and said it was MINE... for... FREE!!!!! Gosh, things like these doesn't happen in real life do they? It's RM35 okay... and to me that's a lot of money! So after collecting my jaw from the floor (and Lisa laughing away), we left. I've been enjoying the CD and I thank God for His unexpected gifts... Then we went to Jalan Song for Kolo Mee and Kueh Tiaw Tomato. Chatted till it rained on us... Thanks ah Lisa, jumpa sia malam tu :)

My precious FOC CD

Then... I had 2 precious ladies (plus their man) visit... MY BESTIE and her baby girl was in town!!! HURRAY for papa for having his anual dinner here in Kuching so mama and baby can come along! It was a very interesting 3 days, with my dad and I continuously bullying precious Allyssa, and with us given the opportunity to drive around even to Kota Semarahan where we studied before... It was something to be able to go back there, something I won't even think of doing if it wasn't so the little one could take a longer nap. Thanks datang Frid... sorry selalu bully Sha... kelak - kelak datang agik k... Andy - harap OK lah jagaan kamek ngan bini & anak kitak (walaupun selalu buli Sha... hehe)

This shot wasn't arranged on purpose - I walked into the room on the first day of the visit and saw this... how precious!

Then.... Then came my monthly date!!! With Togou!! :) Well, we delayed this date for about 2 weeks, so the last time we met was 6 weeks ago... The last time was a date to celebrate Fread's birthday (and he was in KK - yeah, yeah - HUH?? haha). This time, yours truly was craving for butter prawn, so off to TopSpot we went... NYUM NYUM!!! Had a great time catching up.. didn't even realise it was already 10pm! Gosh... Thanks Togs... really can't wait for our next meet... you get to pick what to eat the next time k!

Yummy food - Butter Prawn, Mango fish, Midin Belacan - all for RM54 :)

All these meets happened within 6 days... how awesome eh? I don't really get to do this often so when it happens, it's a real blessing. Like what I told Togs... it's days / nights like these that keeps me sane. So if you ask me - enough of friend time? I'd answer with a big hearty NO!

Have a blessed weekend peeps!
