We went to a musical play called Magic Mirror in the Genting Highlands on Thursday nite. It was an impressive performance, from the quality of music, vocal, costumes, backdrop, lighting......I was bowled over! I have not been to many traditional costumes play. This one will have a lasting impression on my memory! For more of my photos taken during the play, please visit: USJ.com Photography thread.

I have also recorded a video of two playful characters in this play. You can view them introducing themselves and their roles here.
This is the school that I went to for my primary education. It is now known as Sacred Heart Cannossian Convent. When I was a student there, it was simply known as Sacred Heart Convent. This school is located close to A'Farmosa Fort, i.e. in Jalan Bandar Hilir, Melaka. As you can see from the date on this photo, the school is already 52 years old.
After I finished my primary school here, I continued to further my secondary education in Sacred Heart Convent Secondary School that is located quite a distance from here, in the Portuguese Settlement in Ujung Pasir.

3. Being a sentimental person, I keep all the personal letters and postcards that I received from friends. I have quite a huge collection now.
4. I am an ardent fridge magnet collector. I will try to get a fridge magnet from every city/country that I visit.
5. I feel blessed to have many close friends. Friends are one thing that I do not lack. With friends, I mean those whom I can count on in times of needs, not mere acquaintances. That's one of the greatest blessings that I have!
6. I have loud laughter! When I laugh, I immerse myself in that moment. I can forget about people around me! People always tell me that my laughter is contagious. Even my neighbours said so.
How about you:Hope all the six of you would also take part in this meme! Have a lovely weekend ahead!
The sun was rising over the a'Farmosa fort in Melaka. When I looked through the big gap (assume it was a big window) and saw some tree branches and leaves blocking the rays of the moon, the silhoutte was beautiful. I didn't realize there was a packet of drink with a straw left by the gap. It was only when I reviewed my photo that I noticed it. Someone has left his mark behind.
The second photo shows how the fort looks like. This fort was one of the remains from the Portuguese colonial that arrived in Melaka in year 1511. The structure of the fort is still very sturdy till today. It has a beautiful view of the Straits of Melaka. It must have been a strategic site in those days, where the Portuguese could easily see any possible attacks from the sea or the land as this fort is build high up on the St. Paul Hill.
These days many tourists visit a'Farmosa fort as part of the Melaka tour. As for us locals, we prefer to walk up the many flights of stairs up to the hill as an exercise in the early hour of the morning.
Happy SkyWatch Friday to all!! Wish you a lovely weekend ahead. Please visit Sky Watch Portal hosted by Old Tom Wigley to view skies around the world.Find out about the world by clicking here!
Launching the Wear It Pink Walk
(Rene'e Ahmad, 2nd from left, was the honourable guest for this event.)
I have a friend in Singapore who has just went through a mastectomy and now undergoing chemotheraphy. She is feeling very angry and upset over her current condition. I choose to share the victory of Rene'e Ahmad with her, hoping she knows that there is a life after breast cancer. Don't give up, my friend! Calm down and may peace of mind comes to you as you work on your recovery! My prayers are always with you.
STATISTICS ABOUT BREAST CANCER
---------------------------------------------
Did you know that breast cancer afflicts an estimated figure of more than ONE MILLION women in the world each year and is the 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths among women worldwide, second to lung cancer? Did you know that of the ONE MILLION afflicted women, almost 45% of those women live in developing countries? Did you know that of the new cases of female breast cancer reported in Malaysia in 2003, 64% of these cases were women between the ages of 40 to 60 years old?Did you know that Chinese women seemed to be at greatest risk, with an incidence of 59.7 per 100,000; followed by Indian women (55.8 per 100,000) and Malay women (33.9 per 100,000)?Did you know that early detection and getting appropriate medical attention can help save lives? So it is unfortunate in Malaysia that nearly 40% of the new cases identified each year were already in the very advanced stages of the disease.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the world, affecting one in 19 women in Malaysia. As with most cancers, the earlier breast cancer is detected and diagnosed, the better the chances of successful treatment.
One of the best ways of ensuring that breast cancer is for you to be breast aware, that is understanding and knowing how your breast look and feel like under normal circumstances, so that you are able to seek early medical advice if there are any changes in either breast.
Find out as much as you can about the subject so you can make an informed choice about your treatment options. Do not be afraid to ask questions from medical practitioners.
Be positive and lead a normal life after breast cancer treatment. Take good care of your mind, body and soul.
