TAGGED - fourth time

Tagged on Tuesday

I have been tagged by Peggy at queenmothermamaw.blogspot to list 6 uninteresting things that make me happy, and to pass it on.

Here are the directions to do:
Blog your 6 items, then pass the tag along to 6 other bloggers. They just need to link back to you.
Blog their 6 items, tag 6 others and so it goes.
Be sure to visit their blogs to inform them they have been tagged, if they would like to participate.


SIX interesting things that make me happy:

1. Waiting for this precious moment every day for my grandson to say

"Common meemee, give me a hug!"

There goes his kisses... its so indescribable when he presses his face, flattens his nose, grabs my neck and sometimes... he went all over my face...ow! He is now 16 months old and a real chatterbox.

2. When things go very quiet, for a while I thought I was all alone in this house. Suddenly the familiar sound breaks the monotony of the engrossed and busy blogging grandma ... It's so sweet to hear "Meemee!" Ha! Here he comes. For over ten months now I have taught him to address me as "WAN" but what he says is "Meemee, mummy!". How do you like that?

3. Out into my scruffy (?) and untidy garden...Despite this description, it still gives me great pleasure to see them growing along with me and thriving to cheer me up.

these pictures are taken using my hand phone... the shots are not so clear.

4. For 5 days looking after each other (me and my grandson) in the house, I enjoy dinners with all my children.




5. Always looking forward to host gatherings or to attend family weddings ...with old school mates from younger days... really long time friends and still very much keeping in touch...wanna try to count the years? ... it was from 1967-1974...


6. Leisurely sewing beads on old clothes as makeovers... I am still an amateur in this but I have tried doing my own designs on my daughters' garments.




Now I would like to tag these folks if they would like to play... (here comes the hardest part to choose or not to choose :)

1. Tea Time With Melody
2. The Garden of The Dutchess
3. Laura of Our Scented Cottage
4. Barbara of Ramblings from an English Garden
5. Kim of Happy @ Home
6. Beverly of Tea time and Roses

TAGGED

This plant has been in this vase with gel since December 2008. It's one of my favorites since there is no constant attention demanded... Just leave them there and they grew new leaves.

Thank you ...

I have been tagged by LAURA whose blog I visit regularly. Let's make this blog chain an opportunity to visit blogs 'round the world.

So, dear bloggers, these are the rules:

1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself.
4. Tag six people at the end of your post and link to them.
5. Let each person know they've been tagged and leave a comment on their blog.
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is up.

So here goes with rule number 3:

1. I love driving and traveling (lately only locally in Malaysia)
2. I am a Jane of all trade and master of none.... a business lady, a mother of four, a granny to one, a lecturer to my 4 children...and and and my latest post is Baby Sitter to Harith.
3. I have been married once and now enjoying being single.
4. If I had the money, I would feed all the orphans and rebuild homes for the Muslims in Iraq and Palestine.
5. I still do not know what I'd like to have for this new year... but for sure I am much saddened by the happenings in the Palestine ......Allahu akbar.
6. I love blogging, reading blogs and browsing the cyberspace...

Now you know!

• First of all, I'd like to welcome my dear friend The Dutchess , from Amsterdam into the blog sphere! Her travels take us to wonderful places. Her scribes tell ALL with such articulate talent that bring smiles to you. My grandson, Harith adores her Mr.Bee.
  

• To have a good start, let's kick it off with Heidi from Amersfoort, Netherlands who loves to make her home a cheerful place and loves writing about her handwork, about the changing seasons and things around her home and garden.

• GrandmaK from Newburgh, IN, United States. Another multi tasking lady like me... A Wife, mother of 5, grandmother of 9 with the addition of Miss Madddie. She is a Registered Nurse working in Family Practice.

• Karin from Phoenix, Arizona in the beautiful Sonoran Desert describes herself as a stay-at-home mom and former elementary school teacher. Posts wonderful pictures everyday to share with bloggers - her handsome Mike (a musician/handyman), one beautiful 3 year old daughter, referred to here as “Little Girl” and a 2 year old mutt named Melody.

• Nazarina A of Malaysian descent and grew up in South Africa who lives, loves and shares good food in a very jovial and unpretentious manner. She invites all of us to join her on this culinary journey as she cooks her way through an array of gastronomic delights!
  

• Ginnie from North Carolina, United States who has friends of all ages, gender and color. Traveled far and wide, sharing her experiences with such a wonderful scribe and pictures.

GOSH! It was so difficult to tag ... I started at 2 a.m. this morning and now it's 11.34a.m... I am still editing the post. There are so many people to choose from and how I wished I could tag everyone...

Let's make this blog chain an opportunity to visit blogs 'round the world.

First of all, I'd like to welcome my dear friend Spangler Cummings , from Malibu, California, in the blogshpere!

To have a good start, let's kick it off with a kiss or beso from Karina who blogs from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Royal T Lady from Malaysia, brings delightful memories, everyday things, and delicious recipes, such as this Fish Curry while sipping tea.

Chez le Laquet writes out of his home in Kent, England, about all the things he loves: family, traveling, music, cooking and recipes, eating in & out with loved ones & friends, France, the Internet, teaching & learning, shopping, reading and new shoes.

If you're looking for good recipes, visit Morsels and Musings since Anna in her Sydney, Australia home spends most of her time thinking about food and sharing her recipes with us.

Pomegranate and Patchouli Alya, who writes from Kuwait, wants her blog to be sweet, colorful and exotically intoxicating.

So, dear bloggers, these are the rules:
1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself.
4. Tag six people at the end of your post and link to them.
5. Let each person know they've been tagged and leave a comment on their blog.

Enjoy the journey!
12/12/08: UPDATE FROM LONDON!
Thank you Simone, you're right when you say you didn't do rule #3 young lady....hehe (though not so young I must say ..)
So here they are:
> I love traveling (I am in London, I was in Amsterdam last week, I'll fly to Los Angeles in february and could do more and more ..)
> I am a Clinical Psychologist (PhD) of psychoanalytic orientation. The reason why I'm saying this about myself is is that I "forgot" to follow rule 3 ..
> I have been married to Jean-Louis for almost 35 years (that's why I said "not so young")
> If I had the money, I'd buy a trip in the space shuttle (grew up with Sputnik and the space race)
> I still do not know what I'd like to have for Christmas
> I love computers, emails, blogs, statistics, google, and the like.
Now you know!
