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 :(

With the tram, the hills, the sea, the prison island and a thermometer, what more can I ask for?

Can ask for more fridge magnets, of course!!

Another entry meant for miramagnetic.blogspot.com. Izwan went to San Francisco, bought Ghirardelli square chocolates and travel all over town using the cable cars. Oh yes, he also bought this fridge magnet for me. This is a rather old one, since this is from his trip way back in 2009.

This is what I miss most now that Izwan seldom gets assignments in USA is Ghirardelli chocolate squares!

Penny Is Lucky

Izwan got this lucky penny fridge magnet in San Francisco. It says "I spent time on Alcatraz". Can u imagine if he had taken his SLR to San Francisco? I bet the pictures are going to be far better than the ones he took; and those are already in the "good pictures" category.

Black Pepper San Francisco Crab

.

.

Oh my oh my.

.

I remember my reaction when I first looked at it.

Jaw dropped, picked it up to the floor; re-attached to face.

This one is awesome.

I repeat: awesome.

With all the detailing. It is a darn pretty crab, I tell ya. Available only in San Francisco. At the Fisherman's Wharf. You know, place where you can smell all the sealions from 3 miles away. Heh. Not that I've been there.

And it can open bottles as well.

Cable Cars: The San Francisco Interpretation

This is a magical fridge magnet!! I don't know the word, but it is one of those that if you look at it straight, you will see one picture but when you tilt it slightly, it shows another picture.

So, if you look at it from the front:

But if you tilt it slightly, you will see this:

Where Ghirardelli can be purchased almost at all candy outlets!

*hmm... i must have just done a manicure when this picture was taken*

San Francisco's Wine

Haryati got me this in SF. She obviously thinks it is nice. And she is right. Yay!

Pier 39 in a Frame

Haryati bought me this during her recent trip to the States. A painting of San Francisco, complete with the sea lions of Pier 39, the red bridge and the firehouse.

It is very beautiful. I have now put it in my new office at Tower 2 of Kuala Lumpur City Centre.

Strumming San Francisco

Haryati went to the States earlier this year for her sister's graduation. And one of the fridge magnets she got me is this guitar. A very detailed one, like a super mini size of the real thing.

Lower The Anchor, Ahoy!

This one was caught near the famous Pier 39. Somewhere near where you can see the prison Alcatraz from far. Izwan said that the souvenir shops, especially those selling fridge magnets are so huge, they've got walls-ful of all sorts of fridge magnets.

This one caught his attention and is now on my refrigerator door. It is plastic, so it is not fragile at all.

Prison Break

This is a picture of Alcatraz. A celebrated prison, actually. Izwan took pictures with this in the background (but not this pic, I "stole" it from the net - thank you insidertravel.biz).


And Izwan also got me this:



A simple Alcatraz rubber fridge magnet to grace my refrigerator door. But it carried a thousand memories (Izwan's, of course) of the city. Izwan got this at Fisherman's Wharf, a famous must-go spot in San Francisco.

Escape From Alcatraz

Do you remember my my runaway convict? It was my number 223. What I didnt tell you back then is that there is a similar runaway convict in my possession!



Say hello to Convict #2! But I really only have one of them. It's just that it looks real good to put two of the same pic side by side in this blog :-)
