Is he happy?

The wedding of the century.

It's official! 29th April 2011. They have signed their lives to each other. Will and Kate will now be known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. I got teary eyed as she walked down the aisle, only because I can somehow relate to what she must be feeling at the time. The overwhelming nervousness, sadness, happiness all boiling up inside. Surely it must have been so much harder for her, having to go through everything under so much scrutiny like that. People waiting anxiously for her to make mistakes. Judging her dress, her make up, hair, jewelries and every little thing that she do. I wish people would stop being so ridiculously judgemental and just be happy for them.

I have to say, the dress is stunning and I'm so glad to know Kate and I have the same taste :) *moder perasan kejap* It looks slightly similar to the dress I wore for my reception in Penang. Hers is long sleeved though. Pippa's dress is sooo pretty as well. I'm so gonna get a dress just like that hehe.

The wedding to me was perfect and I'm sure they'll make a perfect royal couple. Right now, I feel like popping that Champagne I've kept in the kitchen and have my own little celebration. Wish hubs was here :(

Much love,

Vote for a CHANGE!

Sarawak is the largest state in Malaysia and Sabah is second. However, despite it's vast wealth of natural resources, both states are currently 2 of the poorest in the country. It's mighty time for a change don't you think?

 God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Reinhold Niebuhr

Action and reaction, ebb and flow, trial and error, change - this is the rhythm of living. Out of our over-confidence, fear; out of our fear, clearer vision, fresh hope. And out of hope, progress.

The Malaysian Dollar (M$)

These were the first series of Malaysian dollar banknotes issued in 1967. I've had it in my possession for more than two years now but never paid much attention to it. Found it tucked nicely in my old organizer

One sweet, old Chinese lady came to CIMB bank where I use to work and asked whether or not she can still use it to make purchases. She actually took the money out of a big, red angpow packet I kid you not! Hence why the notes are still crisp with no folded marks whatsoever. I can still remember the sad look on her face when I said no . She then asked if I could change the notes to the current ones ( Third Series 1996).

Again, I had to disappoint her when my supervisor told me we were not allowed to. I told her that she should really really just keep it but she said she has no use for it and that she would rather have the current ones. She was quite adamant about it, so I offered her my own money in exchange with the notes of  the same denomination and she was more than happy to switch. I thought that it would be quite cool to show it to everyone cause it was my first encounter of such notes myself. Win win situation no? I wonder how much collectors are willing to pay for it? Anyone? 

Much love,
