Marlo Thomas

Watched by accident. Larry King Live on CNN was never on my list. (Tonight Show with Jay Leno is).

Yet that night I was spelled. He was interviewing Marlo Thomas, actress, producer, and also the National Outreach Director of the St Jude's Children Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. There, sick children are treated free by top doctors.

Marlo Thomas also wrote a book, The Right Words at The Right Time, a collection heartwarming collection of personal revelations from some of today's greatest luminaries whose lives were changed by hearing the right words at the right time. All royalties from The Right Words at the Right Time go to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, founded by Ms. Thomas's father, Danny Thomas, in 1962.

I have ordered the paperback from Kinokinuya KLCC yesterday. Will arrive in 2 -3 weeks time. Must tell you it is cheaper to order or buy from Kinokinuya than Amazon. Estimated price is RM65.00. if from Amazon, price could easy go up to RM80.

Go lah and buy. won't give mine until I finish reading.

seksi?

My niece , Yah, is entering the period of "teenagehood" despite her young age of 4. Carrying along her handbag with "sikat","bedak" and "sekaf" inside, she asked her mom during our weekend get-together,

" Yah seksi tak, Ummi?"

Her 6 year-old brother, Amin, known for his wit, immediately remarked,

"Bukan seksi lah Yah , Teksi!"

doa selamat

Saya akan bertolak balik ke Jerantut petang ini. Subuh esok ada majlis doa selamat & tahlil di rumah selepas solat subuh. Majlis 3 dalam 1. majlis bercukur anak saudara, doa selamat untuk perantauan saya ke Laos dan Pakistan dan juga doa selamat untuk adik saya yang akan masuk kampus ITM Manjung Januari ini (Dia akan "selamat" kali ini kalau tak leka atau culas ke kuliah sebelum ini!).

Lots of good news heard and received. A friend of mine just "officially" completed her chambering after delaying for quite sometime due to health issues, etc. Another will be joining AG chambers soon.
