516: Chatsworth in Detail

This fab magnetto of Chatsworth House was especially flown from the UK for me *perasan mode*. This building, located in the central Derbyshire. It is a real ancient building (sort of, excuse the exaggeration!) but main block was re-built sometime between 1687 and 1707.

Another fridge magnet depicting the famous San Francisco trams. This one is wooden (er... plywood, rather) and is a 2D fridge magnet. Thank goodness Izwan cleverly bought me all sorts of fridge magnet when he went there. God knows when he will go there again for work! I miss Ghirardelli still :(

513: Penang

Penang, most famous for all sorts of food it offers. Personally, I am not sure whether it is really good, or perhaps I did not go to the best places Penang has to offer. So maybe the next time we go, we will do some research :)

Lucky Chips

One set of four lucky chips for casinos in Las Vegas, Nevada. They all range from USD5 to USD1,000,000.

But unfortunately, these are of no value at the casinos. But to a fridge magnet collector, these are priceless!

It is six bucks. USD. Pretty pricey if you convert to our currency. But the magnet is heavy and sturdy. Worth it!

Anyways, "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing" was the song/jingle in a Coke advert I can still recall from my childhood.

Ole Ole Bandung

. .
At Pasar Baru in Bandung last month, Izwan and I bought (among other things) some fridge magnets featuring the city/state itself. It was interesting how we bargained for the souvenir.
. .
At the end of our negotation with the seller, we thought we got a deal. But we found out later that my sister Ina bought them at half the price we had to pay. And when I was about to complain, my mother reminded me that it is that seller's rezeki.
