Blessings ...

There's been so many blessings in the last weeks. Praise the Lord for his blessings abundance and love!

These two events happened on the same day, of all days ... it must be on the 17.11.2011!! I had been informed a month ago that I was one of 5 successful applicants for the Sarawak Convention Bureau International Scholarship to attend an international conference; and was awaiting for the official award ceremony. Then they choose the exact date that the UPSR (lower primary school) examination results were released! It did took me a few minutes to ponder on which to go to; in view that one was in Kuching. If in same city/town; it would have make things easier to attend both! Anyway, hands down it was the my daughter's event! I am so proud of you my darling daughter!

Yes, I am attending the Water Congress 2012 in Seoul, Korea and thanks to Sarawak Convention Bureau for this opportunity! Its a partial scholarship and I am blessed that my office had agreed to take up the balance of the course. So, I will get to promote goodwill etc for both - not that I could split either! Am I excited about going to Korea? Not really as I've been there many times! Am I excited about attending the Congress ... for sure! It's my first Congress.

Unfortunately, I am not presenting a paper at the Congress; otherwise, I really could put Sarawak Convention Bureau on the map of the happenings! That's part of SCB expectations of its recipient ie promote them! :) Maybe, I will do that at my other paper presentation gig ;)

My darling girl get her moment also in the newspaper! Thanks to reporter Watt for doing the wonderful article! So she's now relaxing at home, AND doing her homework!! No, I am not 'torturing' her with homework :D but we went to register at her school next year, and she was given about 100 pages of work to complete during the holidays! Yes, 100 pages of homework/exercises covering English, Mathematics, Bahasa Malaysia, Science, Geography, History, Civic! So those exercises/texts that we bought earlier are becoming handy! So this sort of keeps her occupied for most of the days!

BTW she did get an iPOD, a holiday in Macau & Singapore (coming soon), and some spending money to buy what her heart desires .. as her present for the 5As. Thanks to aunties/uncles also for their angpows (these are giving her big smiles as it would mean she get extas to spend on whatever she wishes).

Congratulation my darling daugther ...

On Thursday 17.11.2011, I think I was more anxious and nervous than my daughter awaiting for her UPSR result ie Primary 6 public examination result! I was one of the many anxious parents looting around the school compound by 9:30am and the result was only available after 10am!!


Luckily, with a recognizable face ;) , the security guard lady let me inside the compound to anxiously wait for the posting of the result or my daughter to come down from class with her result slip! That 30mins or so felt like hours!! Finally, at about 10am, teacher Shadon came down from the staff room. Teacher Shadon is one of school's teachers and a blog reader! I was given a sneak peak at the result slip for the Board - Thank you!

It was only about 10:20am when Val came out excitedly from her class to show me her result slip! I am so proud of her accomplishment and its sweater as only 4 students managed to get full As from the Bahasa Malaysia medium (ie about 75 students) and they have an 80% passess!

Val showing her 5As result slip.

(Other parents were still outside the compound and

I had been helping them to read their childrens' result from the Board inside!)

Val & her BFF Olivia showing love & friendship!

Congrates Olivia on your 4As!

Other good friends: Olivia, Nathan, and Elson (another 5As student) with Val.

Other friends too: Brenda (tears of joy for getting 4As!) and Vivian

Congratulations to all UPSR students and remember that you are just starting your journey and pray for continual success!

Happy 21st Birthday Darling Kimberly ....

My sweet darling young lady ... Happy 21st Birthday!!!

Love always, Aunty & all at home!
