this one’s for the children
I’ve been tagged not once, not twice, but three times by these lovely people on the one for charity by Idham, on three different dates. How not to do it leh?
- Angel Eyes on 5 July
- Winn on 10 July
- ehon on 12 July
The tag is simple — complete 17 out of 27 sentences in the meme before 26 August 2007, and RM127 per post will be donated to the Darul Izzah Orphanage by Idham. Hmm, I wonder if, by completing all, they add an extra ringgit to each? Extra RM10 for the orphanage please, thank you!
And in conjunction with the Earth from Above exhibition that’s currently running in Darling Harbour, Sydney, I’d like to borrow a few of the beautiful aerial portraits of our planet by Yann Arthus-Bertrand. Absolutely stunning, and even more so when you see the large prints of these.

I was too carried away with the pictures..

Yeah, “Beauty is all around us, if we see with our hearts”.
Even a little insect or small bug can be beautiful too..
God’s creations are indeed awesome
the pictures are very beautiful
Another RM127 to save the children!
Those pics are very alluring! I must visit New Caledonia one day to the heart in Voh. The last pic is simply stunning!

thanks for being a sport ,

havw a goooood weekend
the pix r nice
i dont hv shortcomings i have longcomings only. can ar?
I have the book I have the book! it was a gift of love sent all the way from europe to asia - the postage cost way more than the book cos it was very very heavy (4-5kg i think), but it was a gift of love, and the pictures are stunning. i wish i could see the pics in large prints too.
heartfelt answers you gave. well-done!
Go May Go!! lol
Ski trip when you’re 21? *jeles*
You have been cheesed! Muahahha.
Reference: I came i saw i cheesed you
ehon - 5 HUGS and a chup!
princess appearl - 3 HUGS and I chup you too!
ehon - the first one’s my favourite at the beginning, but I’m starting to shift my preference to the Grand Prismastic Spring. and some other nice ones too, that I didn’t feature here. you’re most welcome! kena tag 3 times sure must do wan, haha!
Jemima - 1 HUG and time to do your homework, yes? 2-in-1! maybe even 3, or 4. gotta give credit to the photographer Yann, he’s the real artist there.
princess appearl - I wish it was at the Alps! it was a ski trip with my uni friends, organised by the M’sian Society of the uni I attended. I fell over so many times! wakakakaka! got blue and black after that, but not a lot la. it’s a nice experience, though not my kind of sport to pick up for long term.
Merry Weekend, angeliuliu!
surferboy - yo dude. gimme a kiss too! *wink*
Wennnn - s’ok, you still have time before deadline. just make sure you remember to do it by then, hor? I just kena one too many times so better do before kena a 4th one… kekeke…
misti - aiyak… got toothache after that ka?
zeroimpact - oooo, hug me hug me! must do that when we next meet. when would that be ah?
Chen - I went to the exhibition again today with some friends who came up from Canberra. I think enough times liao, haha! might get the postcards of the nicer pix, but maybe later. they’re there till Dec 07.
everything is beautiful… in its own way
like the starry summer night, or a snow-covered winter’s day…
everybody’s beautiful… n their own way
under God’s heaven, the world’s gonna find a way…
misha - you must thank “Yann Kor Kor” for taking such beautiful pictures of our planet! nice hor?
doreen - yippee! hope it reaches the RM10,000 target. France seems to have really beautiful scenery, yea? though I wonder, to get to these spots, you’ll have to go on a helicopter ride!
winn - 13 is a lucky number! group hug, group hug… * H U G *
you have a good weekend too, babe!
sengkor - long or short, both also I sapu! so how long is yours ah? *ahem*
Kikare - ooooh, all these photos must be very familiar to you, then! I’m sure it’s something precious to you, especially with all the extra postage to get to where you were. they’re all glossy prints at the exhibition, and the details of each photo are really something else!
helen - Go Go, A-Go-Go! that was a 3-day, 2-night ski trip which to me, the nicest thing was being able to play with snow rather than ski… LOL!
Cheesie - WELCOME! thanks for the tag, though I’m not one to have as many cool hairstyles as you so I might have to forgo it… *grin* maybe another tag, eh? thanks for dropping by!
Love the pictures, love your responses to the meme even more. *hugs*
wow.. very nice images… really amazing God’s work.
Nice tag. I owe you and another now. Better get the thoughts perculating.
*HUG*
jiejie May
good morning and have a nice sunday ok?
Dang! Too late to chup! But I’m at Angchai & Cp1’s place for the weekend ~ just woke up! Having coffee.. and Airport Expressing myself.. Must go back to bed! CHUP!
rinnah - I’d love to say “thank you” but I can’t take the credit for the photos! maybe I can thank you on behalf of Yann, yes? *bow… bow…*
Monkticon - I marvel at them too. the photographer really knows how to show the best side of our planet, yea? but then hor, there were some gory ones that weren’t quite my cup of tea, like the animal slaughter house in India… ewww…
SA - ahhhh, so I’m the 2nd to tag you on this? that’s cool, just collect one more and it’ll be three times a charm! hahaha! hugs for Sunday!
misha - good morning to you too, darling! how’s your Sunday looking so far? going shopping with Mum and Dad later anot?
L B - wooooo, a sleep over at their new place, eh? or wait, is this still the Subang one? doesn’t matter. at least your Expressing now on Airport rather than dial-up! bed is good… bed is comfy… zzzzzz… CHUP!
Oh…. I like the way of you answering because the answer of each sentences are so sweet…. It makes me feel really want to hug you!

First time here. What an impressive blog. “little Miss May” sounds very simple, however… Mmm… All I know is this is a place where I’ll always come back and hang around. Nice!

I liked your 15. Absolutely true. And I enjoy reading your tag, short and simple, accompanied with such beautiful photography…
hugs!
No charm for me? Other than your charming hug of course. Tag is complete.
*HUG*
Homework completed.
Aiyoyo haven’t done homework yet but this is for you.

Everydayhealy - WELCOME! so very nice to have a new visitor! I do try to keep it simple though sometimes I tend to rant incoherently… *grin* you have a pretty cool ‘place’ yourself. wanna hang out? *pulls up a chair*
I’d love to go to France one day. even if I don’t get to see the heart of Voh with my own eyes, I’d at least want to be at the top of the Eiffel Tower!
_butt - I just had to put both the photos and the tag together, kinda goes hand-in-hand. lotsa hugs to you and the planet!
SA - you’re a charm yourself! and a real sport for finishing up the tag so soon. thanks cowboy, for being a supporter of our local charity all the way in Texas!
Jemima - thank you too! my my, I like tagging this group. very fast in handing up homework. must tag some more, muahahahaha!
ParisB - woo-hoo! Rocker!! really cool of you to award that to me. my feet are blushing already… *teehee!*
A meme for May — Paris Beaverbanks - good on ya! I kinda wonder too, if this tag was for real, but hey… doesn’t hurt to just pitch in with those few words, eh? (and yeah, his blog gets lots more links too… kekeke!)
Pinkelle - eh? more issues with your blog? or something else? oh dear… hope you sort it out soon. good luck!
Every body did 27.. although only need 17..
But I wrote some rubbish so I deleted the ‘rubbish’..
Love your pix that goes with this..
You miss WHO huh? Who is the YOU?
Work issues…I hate crossroads
But yeah, that tag’s coming up!
Those photos are breathtaking! love it!
