What happens when a baby blogger meets a mummy blogger?

This.

yayyy....picture time!!

One fine Saturday afternoon, and i was planning to visit mummy Khloe's Pixie Baby Shop in 1 Borneo.

tpi ter jumpa pla di tengah jalan..hehe..so.. gambar2 trus ;)

Nadia was accompanied by her colleague that day.

and as usual..the baby will be the central attention..hehe..introducing Neve to mummy Khloe :)

Baby Neve tengok sja si mummy Khloe, and inda mau lepas lagi tu jari dia ..hehe

Nadia,, if you're reading this..siou a.. sb inda pla ter singgah betul2 di shop ko ni..sebab kn..

ini..

rounds of walks and sitting down with ice cream..

hehehe..next time la Neve..kana belanja makan eskrim :)

We actually seldom bring Neve out and about especially in shopping malls and public places..

because of the hassle and ..i just don't want her to be too exposed to the city air pollutants.

Not good for babies..i think.

But so far, she's a great little travel partner.

And a bundle to adore.

:)

How was your Malaysia day yesterday?

A special visitor was in the house yesterday.

Who? Give you a clue.

9 months pregnant and a 3 year old son.

A blogger and a working mother.

It’s none other than Uzoiey@Zoi the mommy blogger and a good friend since campus time. 

All the way, just to visit baby Neve :)

It was great to have good companies at home and updates each other on happenings and stuff. Kay Masingan..ada kami cerita2 pasal ko ni..hehe..yg bagus punya ba..

Yong Yong, Uzoiey’s 3 year old son was also there. Adei..makin kiut ni. Dia p tlg kipas2 si baby Neve. Kena kiss kiss lagi. I’m sure he can’t wait for the arrival of his baby brother..or is sister? ;)

And another great thing about yesterday was, it was also Uzoiey’s birthday. Senang nya mau ingat kn, sb ngam2 dgn tarikh penting..i’m sure they had an enjoyable celebration yesterday.

Bah, happy birthday a..stay forever young and have a safe delivery.

The picture above is for you. cewah..

Don’t you love it when you have friends visiting you?

Isk2..mcm sa tulis cerita utk pendidikan moral ja. Simple..ni.

But..this is how i feel. Sincerely. Tak perlu la ayat berbunga2 or perkataan power2..kn?

Enjoy your weekend people.. :)

Another cat entry?

Yep..this time it's especially for a good friend Kay of Tulus Dari Hati.

..............................................

One of our cats at home delivered 4 cute kittens about 2 months ago..

Two of the kittens look like these..

Aren't they adorable?
The eyes are actually pure blue.

They're jumping off the sofa and everywhere reachable nowadays.

And..they're not afraid of our dogs :)

Good thing that the dogs do not attack them as well.

Jajal.

Another two of the kittens look like this. 

A black and white..which we have a lotttttt at home :)

Only managed to take one of the kittens picture though..yg satu tu.. ntah p mana dia lari2 time tu.

Cute kah?

hehe..of course..all kittens are cute. Adorable. 

Makes me crazy.

Two of these kittens will be adopted by Kay.

kan? hehehe..

The Siamese..and the black n white kitten above.

The whole family is actually reluctant to give away these kittens..but come to think of it..

it's impossible to take care of all 15 cats altogether..especially when they're all grown up.

Ko imagine ja time mau kasi makan.. ribut2 dorang tu..ko  pun pening.

And..since Kay is a cat lover her self..i'm sure she will take great care of these kittens.

If you're looking for kittens to be adopted..(yep..we have another cute adorable one, just one month old)..just tell me. I'm not a kitty cat supplier or pengedar kucing a.. just looking for a good home for them. 

No, we don't plan to let all our grown up cats to be adopted anymore. They're of a very high sentimental value.

Their kittens..why not?

And no.. i'm not going to shelter them away at the SPCA cats shelter. 

I have always thought of our home as a mini shelter anyway..bcos..for ur info..none of our 15 cats are originally ours.

We only have one cat.

He died. Went missing..and left a legacy.hahaha..ntah la generasi ke berapa sda tu.

Okie..will be sharing u more pictures soon, this time with Kay and the two adopted kittens.

It was great to meet up the ladies blogger friends again.

It's not the occasional meet up this time though..

kuch kuch hotta hai..

Read the hint2 story in Annieming's page.

(^_^)

Meanwhile..

what happen when ladies bloggers meet up..?

See it in pictures here..

hehe..hope you ladies don't mind for the dialogues that i made up.

..enjoy.

At Secret Recipe Suria Sabah.

The day started with greetings..eating..n of course chatting.

From left to right: Wyne of Gorgeous Ramblings, Angel of ETC, Annie of These Are My Stories.

Then Carol of Chegu Carol came along.

Wyne and Angel time ni tengah ready2 kasi keluar stationery masing2. Nasib sa inda bawa fail. hehe

The agenda begins.

Hehe..kiut o dorang.

And finally..

one for the picture.

(^_^)

Siok bah jumpa dorang ni.. bnyk cerita.

It's been a while since the last post.

There are so many stories to share..but, ...

will post about it soon.

. . . . . . . . . . .

This post is dedicated to Annieming 

for the Christmas Giveaway.

Hehe..i decided to put up this one for the giveaway picture.

Harap2 itu santa hat boleh kena pakai ramai2 ba kn..mcm itu rabbit2 dlm gmbr..hehe

It's actually a little sundry shop that sells rabbits at the same time. Located in the Asia City street shops.

Taken late last year. Time masih muda sikit. hahaha

If only i could have one of those rabbits!!

nc says: this is one of the best giveaway i have ever joined. kalau tak menang pun tak apa.

It's to support a friend and in the glowing spirit of Christmas :)

Merry Christmas semua..

This, made my day today.

A certificate of appreciation for being part of the Borneo Bloggers Award

which was organized by Borneo Colours, just last October.

Have been waiting for the mail man to hand me this actually.heheh

Thank you Borneo Colours for organizing a great event for the bloggers in Borneo

and Thank You to Daniel Doughty for giving us the appreciation. 

Now i have another memorabilia to 'show off' (pinjam ayat si Wyne dlu hehe), courtesy of Borneo Colours.

uiks..mahal ba ni tandatangan ni .. :)

Though the certificate arrived a little bit crumpled in the mail..(odoi gia..) it is still priceless.

By the way..have you read the Finalists Special Interview in Borneo Colours?

All finalists were asked a few questions regarding the blog scene and what we think about it.

I've done mine. We were all given a different sets of questions. 

Well...there's this ONE question..

that i would like to share with you..and to hear your response as well.

Not towards my answer though..but your opinion. :)

Come on..let's put our heads together and we might share valuable thoughts here.

Here's the question:

Describe to us in your own words, what is the main problem when starting a new blog.

A new blog is very easy to create. You only have to register and..sometimes..that is iT, for some people. They do not know what to write. Finding materials to write about would be one of the challenge of a new blog. But then, if a blogger realized his/her purpose starting the blog..everything will fall into places.

(my answer)

nc says: bah,, kamu lagi jawab a :) kalau mau baca yg lain2 click SINI

Yes.

I have announced it in my other blog..

and i am going to put more juicy details here.

But first..allow me to state that..it is not a shop that is mine.

Rather..thanks to this unique concept store, a lot of people can display and rent spaces to promote their work.

hehe..bagus bah..kn?

And so..the name of the shop that i managed to get hold a little space is..the Dream House.

It's located at the Megalong shopping mall, Donggongon.

A place that one should visit.

It's the longest mall in Sabah.

If you are searching for the perfect Christmas gift this year..

why not have a look of what iHaveADream Creations has to offer.

hehe..it's from the heart.

Merry Christmas everyone..

Let's decorate our hearts with joy of the Lord and share the Christmas love with everyone.

nc says:

ramai yg salah phm sa buka kadai ni..hehe..tak pa, sb memng ni kedai konsep dia berlainan. 

Cuba gia kamu pgi sana.. mesti kamu paham.

Sa pun baru paham lepas sa TER jumpa ni kedai..n BANG!! this is the place that i want to start/continue my creative passion.

Sincerely, i LuV this award.

Only from the GoRGoueS Wyne

And it's sooo thoughtful of her to create such awards and present it to blogger friends.

It keeps us motivated to write and share.

You have inspired me.

nc says: o ya, itu bloggers survey on the previous post masih ON. nanti sa analisis lisis dlu a..then kasi share2 dgn sumua bloggers. Of course u can see the statistic there.

But..i bet, u will read it later.

Extra analysis bah..

Time for another blogging tips from NC..sincerely.

But this time..not just from the various resources that you can find in the WWW world.

But RAW and RIGHT from the heart and mind of NC who will be analysing and sharing

the results and findings after you answer the polls/questionnaire below.

P R O M I S E.

The more of you bloggers participate, the better and the more accurate the analysis will be.

WHOA..hehe..but of course.

Don't worry.

This is what i do.

Analyze. Critize. ..and Maximize.

And what better ways to have a survey poll than with Nuffnang. Right?

(come on..i'm not going to be hellRich anyway hahaha)

I'll be running this poll questionnaire for two weeks to accumulate your answers.

It touches on blogging elements that you surely want to know.. 

on how your readers truly responds to.

FiVe simple questions..
and three bonus analysis of Nuffnang.

Let's start.

nc says: don't forget to leave ur comments after answering the questions ya..It's a bonus analysis on knowing who YOU are. (^_^)

A gift from the blogging experts..and i would like to share this with you, my faithful readers and followers.

Comments.

O yeahh..we cannot deny that the comments that our readers leave in each entry of our post motivates us to write more..and better. And sometimes the comments is the ultimate objective of one to keep on blogging.

Don't.

But if comments are what you are after..then hear this.

There are few reasons actually on why readers will NOT leave their comments on your posts.

From the mind of a Successful & Outstanding Blogger.http://www.successful-blog.com/

1. What you write is so complete, that I don’t know what to say except good job. I feel silly writing that, so I read and move on. 

2. You’ve taught me something I didn’t know, and I need to think about it before I even have a question. Much like number 1, I don’t want to embarrass myself. I’m better off moving on. 

3. I get ready to type a comment, but I notice you only respond to a few friends who mostly share inside jokes. I won’t take the risk of being overlooked in public. 

4. The folks who comment on your posts like to argue and I don’t. I’m not sure I’m brave enough to fight my way into the crowd. 

5. You rarely respond to comments. So, there’s no point in writing one. 

6. Your blog has geeky attitude and I’m not geeky enough to keep up

 7. I really like your blog and your post, but I’m too tired, busy, or any one of a number things that you can’t control. I’ll comment the next I come back to read. 

8. You end your posts with a giant general question like “What do you think of the Big Bang Theory?” That question is such a big one. I don’t have time to answer it. I feel strange answering with a lesser comment. 

9. You put up a fence by making me login to comment. I have too many passwords already and I don’t know you well enough to add one to my list. 

10. Your content wasn’t fresh and exciting, and I couldn’t find anything YOU inside it. It seemed the same post that I’ve read on 10 other blogs. If I commented, I would have to tell you that.

• PLUS ONE: Your post was negative. Negative is scary. Most folks don’t like negative stuff, because they know they could be next to be the recipient. I don’t comment, because I don’t want to be part of it

nc says: angguk2..geleng2..(^-^)..

(my kitten2 which keep me company all the time)

don't worry..i'm not expecting you to drop any comments on this post..not even because of any of the 10 reasons above. hehe..for me..it's a personal choice. What about you? hehe

But if you really want to improve your blog and engage your reader attention - then, this post might inspire you.

Good luck :)

It's the grand opening of a good friend's boutique today.

FOXIE BOUTIQUE.

Located at the ground floor of the Star City Complex, one can never missed it, as the boutique is painted in red with an eye catching fox in the boutique's sign board.

I have to salute and congratulate these foxy ladies for materializing their dream of having their own business.

I hope i can follow their foot steps in the future.

*finger finger crossing*

The boutique sells ladies attires and accesories. Cute and cheeky.

Just like the taukehs. heheh..

Price wise..competitive.

Highly recommended.

 

Me with the foxy ladies of the boutique.

I was not able to take much pictures that moment. 

I ran out of battery charges.

But pictures will never be enough for me to describe what Foxie Boutique has in store.

You need to be there.

Now i know where to get my dresses for wedding wedding and dinner dinner invitations this December.

*wink!

nc says: sambil2 tolong kawan2 promosi bah.. :)

..just want to share with you what i have learned from the B2.0 event.

 "It's easier to create a new blog than to maintain one"

A true point to ponder for all bloggers shared by one of the speakers of the B2.0 event.

hmm..true indeed.

"Blogging will never die as long as we do this three things:

1. Inspire

2. Inform

3. Interact

..in the blogosphere."

..quoting Mr Addy Kho , a blogger who specializes in e-commerce, eBay, and affiliate marketing..

One of the speakers for the B2.0.

I hope i have inspired you.

..i had fun.

But no more club or pub scene, please..hehe.
catch more pictures at.. iHaveADream Creations.

nc says: the Boutique Cupcake was adorable. I almost want to just KEEP iT as a souvenir.

Finally.

The BiG event that all borneo bloggers have been waiting for..took place at the 1Borneo Hypermall Grand Ballroom, yesterday the 29th October 2010.

I missed my college inter college sports event.. to be part of the fantastic families of the borneo bloggers.

Which means..it was worth it. hehe..

Entering the hall with no clue of how everything was going to be..was the first step.

The minute i stepped in..i was greeted with a smile by the Borneo Colours team and presented me with the tag above. O yeah..hehe.. FiNALiST was an awesome way to be introduced to everyone.
And..thnkfully..i was seated next to pretty mummy Wyne who saw me at the entrance looking clueless.
Deanona of Bloggie Doggie, Yoshi Yoshi (hehe) a BC buddy, and Arti Rahmma and Dwi Wahyudi of Blogger Borneo from Kalimantan was on the opposite row.

WoW.

But of course..the man behind the inspirational Borneo Colours - Mr Daniel Doughty, who made us feel at ease and soooo casual at such a grand event. 

Tapi..gambar nya agak jauh ya (bunyi ala2 Indonesia accent a..)..hehe

All speakers were amazing. 

From the topic of blog monetization, personal branding and media social engagement..lessons were learnt.

 And i am so eager to go on to the next step of the blogging world..making it quite a serious business? 

WHY NOT. I'm glad i know what to do next. O yess.

See the great lines of speakers below..

..i know i know..you could hardly see them. hahaha..sorry..i was really not armed by any super power camera that time. But i assure you, they were great gurus who's willing to share so many tips, advice in their blogging experiences. You can always surf the BorneoColours page to get to know them better.hehe

Meanwhile..the pictures below..are the Top Blogger of Borneo finalists that i managed to be with. 

Standing: Arti Rahmma, 

Sitting (L-R): Bloggie Doggie, iHaveADream Creations, Sorbet13s

I was seated with these great lady.. and a great man who took this picture ahaha..

L-R: Wyne and MelissaLim

O yes,,introducing..(below) the boys who were 'mixing with the right people'..hehe..quoting Mr Cyril Dason of Sarawak Bloggers..snapping their pictures while 'lunching'. Mr Eddie Law of LawEddie.com said it was OK as long it was my own camera and the people know your going to published it. hehehe..

People..blogging is fun. But always be aware of the legal side of it ya..if not..jaga jaga..

Now i KNoW.

Okay, L- R are Mr Addy Kho of AddyKho.com, Mr Cyril Dason of Sarawak Bloggers, Mr Eddie Law, a lawyer who has his own blog, and Mr Dwi Wahyudi of Kalimantan.

The finalists in the second picture.

And..bloggers in the third picture.

What?

nc says: its going to be the award and party nite tonite at Sam Tsui, a new club in KK Time Square.

Not really hoping for anything special ..but..there better be some goodies for all..EHEM..cewah :)

Tadaa...

Not so brand new, but a brand new attitude that is.

A blog make over or changing of template to my precious Yours Sincerely has never occured to me.

It all started with just wanting to create a new header for my blog.

But then it turned into THiS.

Going back to basic with plain white and less pictures and widgets.

LeSS iS MoRe.

Holding on always to that principle.

Too white n plain makes it boring?

Add a Blog's Mood to your blog to create a paint of color and mood of course.

I think my falling maple leaves did the job, hehe

Btw, hop on to my other blog..and you'll understand how and why i have fallen for a blog makeover craze.

nc says: some people ask me whether it's not tiring and tough to have 2 blogs?

Nope. because, its a pleasure :)

Let's go now.

It’s October. I’m excited.   

The B2.0 (Borneo Bloggers + New Media Dialogue) is just around the corner.  

 It’s a gathering of bloggers of Borneo and people who want to know more about the power of the social media. Don’t you?

I have a confession to make.

I forgot how i got involved in the blogging world, but i’m not turning back. 

It’s a whole new opportunity for anyone to grow and realize his/her own potential in almost anything..if you put your heart in it, of course. Correct me if i’m wrong. :)

BorneoColours.com has open a new gate of goodwill that combines bloggers, tourism and a network of understanding in Borneo – that’s Kalimantan, Brunei, Sarawak, and of course Sabah. Are you a member of BorneoColours.com? You should, cos’ trust me..you don’t want to miss a thing once you’re logged on to the portal. There’s just so much to explore, new people to meet, and a lot of blogs to read from.

Click HERE and discover for yourself.

O yes, the B2.0, its going to be held on the 28^th and 29^th October 2010, at the Grand Ballroom in 1Borneo.  If you’re interested in any of the areas below:

The power of blogging and social media

Social engagement through social media

Blog monetization

Web advertising/start-ups

..then you better join the crowd. There will be speakers from different parts of the social media world, sharing and telling it right to our face how to become a billionaire thru the social media – KIDDING. Hehe..

Click this ONE and register now. Yep. Right now.

Oh, hehe..and to tell you the truth, i am really anxious for the Award Nite on the 29^th. Yep, some of you might have known that my other blog is one of the finalist for the Borneo Bloggers Award.  But not without your help and kind assist. The chances of being the Top Blogger in Borneo? Wow..i can’t imagine. I honestly think i don’t  deserve to be called one. There are sooooo many great bloggers and blogs out there. But..i’m sure proud to be part of the crowd at least.haha.. (^_^)

So what are you waiting for?

Lets go.

Meet you there.

nc says: i'm proud to be known as a blogger. Personal satisfaction indeed. 
ko inda kah? hehe mesti bah kn..

School's holiday is almost over.

My life is back to normal.

..i found out myself saying this to my other half everytime school holiday's in and out.

'Kenapa?" he asked. 

Why not. 

An ordinary n and in-out life turns colourful and lively when you spend time with your loved ones.

Don't you agree?

Okay, save the best for last. hehe

Isn't the picture nice?

The girls have blogged about it. Now, witness it nc's version. hehe..

As you have read from Annieming and Angel's  blog..the unplanned meet (i wouldn't call it gathering, since we actually met for a reason hehe) took place at Old Town White Coffee CityMall.

Its been a while since i attended any bloggers meet or gathering. And since this is the first time meeting Angel..i say, this is great. I tag Annieming along..hehe..Kay Abdullah was supposed to be there as well, but urm..was not able to make it. The whole chit chat session was simply relaxing n (i have to say this again), GREAT! i wish there will be more meet or gathering in the future.

nc says: for more pictures and the real reason i met Angel and Annie that day..check out my iHaveADream Creations. hehe

Thank u Cath for the BlogWalking Award :)

Okay,, lets get some answers here.

1. Apakah yang bermain di minda anda sekarang?

1. Regrets. My cat of 8 years died yesterday. We wanted to bring him to the vet today. Too late. I never blogged about him. He was too camera shy..he was a silent pride.

2. Surprise, angry, relieve, praying. My hubbi's on the way home now after crossing(driving)the great river just last midnite. crazy. no call. everybody was thinking of going home only. - he said.

Si iTam. He was black. Loyal. Jaguh.

2. Apakah nama samaran anda:

nc.

3. Siapakah 3 orang yang paling kamu sayang?

three..i don't know..its too hard to limit everyone into just three.

4. Panggilan untuk si dia?

joibit. His real name.then he'll go crazy and we'll start the calling names war. i like it.

5. Hadiah yang diimpikan daripada seseorang yang istimewa?

that istimewa person..my dad used to give me a gold Parker pen on my birthday. n that was what i hoped for..n still use until now.

my other istimewa person.. my other half..he's sooo not into present..so anything will do. may be a trip to the moon ..

6. Blog mana yang selalu anda lawat?

A lot. From what u can see in blog roll. Blogger friends..photographers..arts junkies..cat lovers..blogs widget..story tellers.. :)

7. Tag kan kepada 15 blogger
