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).
