Happy Ayyam-i-Ha

Last year, there was a simple Ayyam-I-Ha celebration 
at the Kuching Baha'i Centre, organized by our lovely
couple, Mr & Mrs Lawrence Sim.  Still remember?
http://www.pingsweetmemories.blogspot.com/2011/02/days-of-ha.html 


However, this year, I miss the celebration happening in Kuching when the Baha'i Community 
here gave an amazing social service at the Cheshire Home
 apart from the devotional and gift-exchange programmes with the children at the Baha'i Centre 
on the February 25th evening.

So, for me, I had the opportunity to join the community in KK this morning with their programme 
to celebrate this beautiful "Days of God".

While the children at the Paediatric Ward of Hospital Likas were entertained by a group of Baha'i youths, some generous eligible Baha'i donors voluntarily donated their 450 ml of blood (equivalent to one pine) each to the blood bank.  

Since this year is a leap year, there are five "Intercalary Days".
Intercalary Days occur once a year, 
between the eighteenth and nineteenth months of the Baha'i Calendar (February 26th til March 1st), 
before the Baha'i fast begins on the 2nd of March.
 Ayyam-i-Ha is a time of feasting, rejoicing and charity 
for the Baha'is around the world.

My Digiperm Hair

Oh yes, finally, after weeks and weeks thinking about it, I decided to 
P-E-R-M my so-bored looking straight hair!!!!!  Muahaha!  Of course, I'll make sure my hubby knows about it first before he have the shock of his life next week when I finally see him again.  Or maybe, I'll just give him a nice big smile to calm him down eh?!!

Couldn't move my head but managed to get a snap of the digital perm thingy hooked to my hair.....see how ridiculously I look...........AWWW, my HAIR!!!!

So after the whole 2-3 hours treatment, curl, wash and blow,  my straight hair becomes like this!!!

Pheww, I don't think I'll go through the same hair transformation again..............
anyway, I still like it though.....

Our Simple Indian Reception



What a tiring but unforgettable experience as our reception goes indian this time.
Our celebration of love, in time for the coming Valentine's Day, was held at 
Akka Suja's house somewhere in Kajang on Saturday evening.
My favourite moment, of course, was the saree-wearing moment.  
Couldn't believe my eyes, as I had been watching on how the indian wear makes a woman look so elegant and graceful, especially, in any bollywood movies all this while......
and now, having it draped on my body really exudes the femininity in me lahhhh........


Theme goes purple and creamy.....

.......nice and sweet....
more purple ribbons.....
