here's a pic of us in traditional gown... hehee...

Have you SEEN her ???

- NOTICE -

have you seen this woman before ?????

or do you know her in person ???

this aint any missing person notice....

this may be a very long post, but please read it and you might save your valuables....

to people out there, especially those Penangite, please beware of this woman - she is a CONWOMAN / SWINDLER / THIEF ...

there's this case happened at Paya Terubong, Penang on the 19th December 2009.... on the wedding day of my Dear's cousin brother....

my Dear's mum was following the Groom's entourage to the Bride's house at some village area... when she parked her car, she saw this Conwoman in a Kenari parked right behind her car.... her first thought was that the woman is from the Bride's side... nothing suspicious yet !!

after the tea ceremony finished at Bride's side, the Conwoman cleverly followed the entourage back to the Groom's house... she was all alone, eating alone and sitting at a corner alone... during the tea ceremony, there're 2 kids playing with an E-series Nokia handphone... here started her first trick, she told the kids to stop playing as the battery very low... she took the phone from the kids and put it in between some cardboards behind them... (these was told by the kids after being questioned)...

after so long, it was when my Dear's uncle looking for his handphone, then only they noticed something had happened, unexpectedly !! in the end, they found out that 3 handphones were missing... and, the woman no longer seen in the house... they immediately checked the cameras and lucky enough to find 1 (ONE) photo of the THIEF... they showed the photo around asking the people from both side, and NOBODY know her !!

luckily the Conwoman didnt take any of the handbags in the house which was full of cash + jewelleries.... i think it will be noticeable if she really did that !!

ohh my GOD, it's daylight robbery....

lesson of the day: if you happen to be in a place full of peoples, please make sure you keep your belongings with you all the time, even if you're in your own house... :)

compared to last year, they had a bigger countdown celebration this year with 30 over booths selling party stuff, foods, drinks, clothes and etc.... kinda sad cos my Dad didnt survived this year's new year eve... i miss you, Dad !!!

see the quoted "celebration" ??? cos i don't really celebrated my new year eve there... during the last 2 hours counting down to the year 2010, i was busy helping my Dear selling those Glow in Dark sticks.... non-stop !!! until the very last minute to 12am !! hahaa.... i think we sold around 500 pcs in just a short period !! :P

this year's firework was much nicer than last year.... i think the crowd also tripled compared to last year.... :)

right after the countdown, we went for poker at my Dear's friend's house till 4-ish !!!

the colourful sticks....

hehee...

i've got nothing better to do actually...
