It was my first time. They asked questions like when was your last menstrual period? Fortunately, that time, I was in my second week of the cycle and hence I’m more than qualified to donate. I never knew..

Well, that was 2 years ago.

Few days back, I saw this poster on the college glass. It brings back the memories of needles and blood. @.@!!

Anyway, there’s a blood donation campaign held at FTMS College, Brighton Square on August 29, 2009, from 9am till 12pm. I am not sure who can or cannot go for it, but I’ll try to make it.

The blood bank needs your blood. Blood donation saves lives. The blood you donated will be in good hands and will be used to save lives, rather than you sit in a cafe and feed mosquitoes. XD

On second note, you generate new blood cells in your body. Do good for a fresher you (wow.. randomly came up with a slogan pulaks)

Do not donate blood if you:

• have sex of a kind (eg: Men who have had sex with other men)
• have sex with both genders
• infected with AIDS
• “subscribed sex labour”
• exchange sex partners
• take drugs using a sharing needle

If you’re fit and healthy and free from all of the above, why not join in the campaign?

Even blogged about it: MBO Cinema in The Spring

And now, I got this:

“Subject: Tweet Tweet! The 2nd Floor is Opening!!

Join The Spring as it celebrates the opening of its 2nd floor tomorrow 19th August!

Nicknamed the ‘ Harajuku Floor’, there are 26 new stores catering to the young-at-heart who embodies everything trendy and hip! And don’t forget that MBO Cinemas will be opening in September; but they will be selling membership cards tomorrow with free goodies for the early birds!

26 new stores, MBO Cinemas and KBOX Embassy KTV; it is without a doubt that The Spring always has something more!”

I am devastated.. It’s not the opening of MBO Cinema but the opening of the 2nd floor. MBO Cinema is only opening in September wehhh.. I thought of going to watch movie in the new cinema this week. Piff piff..

Well, look at the bright side, at least now, we have an extra floor to shop. *senses danger in that*

Plus, a new KTV centre, KBOX Embassy KTV, in town. Oh yea oh yea.. Star Rising time. In case we lack of rain, I can go over and sing for rain. LOL!! My guess, the KTV will probably be ready before Christmas. So, at the time being, let’s practice in Meetoto first. Hahahaha!!

Anyway, at least the new cinema is opening. Just a matter of time only. I’m going to get the MBO membership cards tomorrow – main factor that attracts me to get it is the free goodies. LOL!!

"I've got green hair!" says Mr. White

For Project 365: Day 91 June 26, 2009

Can you feel the bokehness in this picha? Well, the last bokeh picha taken with my baby until I get it back again.

My baby (Canon Ixus 870is) was sent to KL for surgery. I overused the flash during the Breeze Party *blehhh*. The internal parts of the flash was burnt? charcoaled? hangus? broken? but can still take picha with the flash, just the quality of picha not as good. Since it’s still under warranty might as well get it repaired lah..

So, from this day onwards, pichas are taken with Kodak EasyShare Z1285 lent by GenerousKindHearted Darrel during my days without me baby. Thanks Darrel!

Oh by the way, Dine with Annna PrizeGiveAway #4 contest has ended. The winner and answer will be announced sometime in this week. To those who placed in your guesses, THANK YOU for participating and I appreciate your patience. Till then, keep your fingers crossed!

The guesses are revealed, you can view them in Dine with Annna PrizeGiveAway #4.

This is open to SMB St. Teresa, Kuching Graduates of Year 2003 only.

Kindly RSVP as soon as possible by June 2nd, 2009. You can email me at theannna[@]gmail.com

As you all know, our little Earth, the third rock from the Sun, is not as healthy as it used to be. Today, it has many sicknesses, be it global warming; air, light, noise pollutions; haze. When it cries, it pours acid rain on us. Sigh.. Since Earth got sick, many people on earth fell ill too (such as skin cancer, asthma, SARS, and etc).

Watch the video:

It’s never to late to play our part. Vote for Earth. Think for our future, our children’s future, our children’s children’s future. Sign up now. *click* and *click*

How?

Lights out. Switch off all your lights. ALL. EVERY SINGLE BULB! Rather than running around switching off lights, you can just stand by the main switch box and count down. *LOOOL*

When?

Date: 28th March 2009
Time: 8.30pm – 9.30pm
Duration: 1 hour

For just one hour, ONE HOUR, lights off for ONE HOUR. What hurt will it do to you?

As for me, I won’t be in town to witness and experience the lights out with everyone. I would probably be holding 23 candles and singing with my family. Kekekeke..

I guess by now, Rii should have received the prize. So, it’s safe to show everyone the prize.

To Rii

As you can see, the envelope is blue and yellow themed. I like to play with colors. It’s amazing how a person’s mood is influenced by colors. So, if you ask me for my favourite color, I can’t answer you right away. It depends. It varies.

From Annna

And of course, must let Rii know from whom this letter is from.

Since, I’m mailing to local destination, a 30 cents stamp postage is good enough.

Boring 30 cents stamp

But the stamp looks boring and so unattractive.

When I was buying stamps, I saw this SO LONG TIME NO SEE COMIC – LAT comic! I bought the whole “strip”, 50 cents x 20 units.

All time favourite LAT comic 50 cents stamp

So, I decided to use it. Although I’m “over-postaging”, I don’t mind. It’s cool. It’s cute. It’s LAT!!

Anyway, the prize is..

2 x RM10.00 Starbucks Cash Vouchers

Dear Rii, I hope you like the prize. Just drop a shout in the comment so I know you have happily received the prize

So, folks.. Do you want to win something?

PrizeGiveAway #3 is still on the run and will be closing in one two days time!! Try your luck now!

He won RM20.00 McDonald’s Cash Vouchers.

The answer for Dine with Annna 2009 PrizeGiveAway #2 is..

Smoked Turkey aka Kalkun Asap

What? Don’t believe?

There were 26 guesses..

Unfortunately, no one got the right guess. However, there were some pretty close guesses and I’m declaring the closest guess to the answer, the winner.

Congratulations, Rii.

I’m glad everyone joined in this little contest. Some were very creative (pig ear, whale, camel, rabbit, STRAWBERRY and etc..) Nice try and try again for the next PrizeGiveAway.

Stay tune for the next one…

Time flies so wonderfully fast (or is it because February has lesser days). *LOL*

Anyway, my all in one package (flu, cough, fever) is over. I’ve recovered from this “common flu” as the doctor calls it. For the pass few days, I have not been eating well. Some “side reactions” from the medicine, especially the flu medicine. Thanks to you all for your concern and wishes. So touched ~^..^~

Oh by the way, the February’s PrizeGiveAway is closed for guesses. Noone guessed the right answer. However, there are some pretty close answers and that shall be the winner. Will annouce the winner and the answer within the week. Stay tune.

Also, this is a pretty busy month.

• It’s the peak season at work and longer working hours
• If there’s no problems or delays, if everything’s on track, my course will start in this month too
• BIG day sometime month end (planning a small thing)
• Still cracking my brain for March’s PrizeGiveAway

Let’s March on..
