Tagged for a good cause

Tagged by Ruby, eons ago but been busy. It's long overdue but not past the deadline!


Ruby was tagged by Raden Galoh who was tagged by the initiator, Idham who has pledged to contribute RM127 to an orphanage, Rumah Anak Yatim Darul 'Izzah for each meme contributed by any blogger before 26th August 2007. His goal is to collect RM10,000 worth of meme/tags by bloggers! Ain't that a noble effort!

The rules:-

1.Please leave a comment on Idham's blog to inform him that you have done the tag


2.If you are tagged, you need to write an entry related to the meme. At the end of your entry you just need to tag as many bloggers as you like.


3.You will then leave a comment in their blogs to let them know they have been tagged. And to include this message, "By doing this meme you are contributing rm127 to the Darul Izzah Orphanage".Then please copy and paste this rule somewhere in your entry.

The meme is about completing at least seventeen out of the following twenty seven sentences.*These can be copied and pasted to your entry*


I'm all or nothing guy. So here goes my completed 27 sentences!


1. A person is only as good as ...his heart

2. Friendship is always ... a two way street

3. To love is to... love lor!

4. Money makes me...D I Z Z Y (LOL)

5. I miss ... my black hair...now that grey hairs are sprouting like mad... (talk about vanity)

6. My way of saying I care is by ... putting the rubber to the road....through ACTION baby...!

7. I try to spread love and happiness by... not whining, moping and complaining about anything AND having a positive outlook all the time and at all costs.

8. Pick the flowers when... your heart says so!

9. To love someone is to... be always selfless and love that person unconditionally

10. Beauty is... what comes from within

11. When I was thirteen, what I remember the most was... being felt not loved by my parents coz they refused to take me back after I decided to enter a boarding school and changed my mind later. Upon reflecting, they were teaching me to be responsible of my own decision which I thank them for, NOW. I always tell my kids that they'll appreciate later in life for all the "dos" and "donts" which we impose on them now.

12. When I was twenty one, I remember... that I was the coolest dude on earth, but looking back at old photos..., GAWD what the....?

13. I am most happy when ... my loved ones are happy.

14. Nothing makes me happier than ... to see my loved ones happy.

15. If I can change one thing, I will change... nothing. (the phlegmatic me....)

16. If smiles were... abundant ...then I... am sure the world would be a better place to live in.

17. Wouldn't it be nice if we could... just help others and impact their lives all the time?

18. If you want to ...succeed ...then you have to ... work it, baby!

19. Money is not everything but...everyone needs it......

20. The most touching moment I have experienced is... listening to the sound of each of my children bursting his/her lungs upon entry to this world.

21. I smile when...I feel like!


22. When I am happy, I...clap my hands, snap my fingers, stomp my feet, say hurrah..But seriously..I tend to be not too strict with the kids.

23. If only I don't have to ...work and still earn loads of dosh (so that my kids are taken care of on their education expenses), then... my wife and I will retire and reside in the Holy Land.

24. The best thing I did yesterday was... not give my staff a hard time...(it was work work work yesterday).

25. If I ever write a book, I will give it this title, "Stop blabbing, start doing"

26. One thing I must do before I die is... to repent

27. Doing this meme, I feel like ... I've done the least I can do for a good cause

Vivre Provence





I got tagged by Adam whose blog I read without fail (apart from the occasional lapses). I really had to blog-hop to understand how this works....! Quite easy once you see the sample meme!

Well really, I'm off to perform my umrah (pictures above were taken last May by wifey) with parents, my aunts and uncles (18 of them) in exactly 24 days from today. Mecca and Medina really do not qualify for the purposes of this tag as I'm really going there!

Thought about where I really want to go next and few places came to mind....Santorini, region of Provence, Ubud, Petra, Ulan Batur, Jerusalem (Al-aqsa mosque and the Dome of the Rock to be specific), Ayers Rock, Istanbul....and many many other interesting places which will take ages for me to list down!


***Place your 2-3 paragraphs of where you want to go here***


For this tag, I really have chosen the region of Provence in Southern France as my desired destination. I fell in love with this place after reading Peter Mayle's, international bestseller, Encore Provence (of course one of his books A Good Year was recently immortalised in a movie acted by Russel Crowe).


My itinerary would be something like:-


Visiting a perfumery in Haute Provence (L'Occitane products are produced here) and experience a valley fill with lavender, sage, roosemary etc.....

Traipsing along in Provencal markets of St Remy-de-Provence, St Tropez, Arles etc sampling fresh produce.

Sampling breads of different kind from different boulangerie.

Siestas in the open on a hammock basically...do nothing!

Watching truffle bargaining/transcations at Carpentras market.

Driving around the region without any plan and just follow what your heart says!


Man, I can go on and on....But dreaming is free, right?
