1) Cold day. Filled hot green tea in my Thermos and had it during class (hoped it's okay to do that!). Mother had wanted to buy me something when I first left home for further studies in 1996 at Monash U, Melbourne. I said I wanted a good vacuum flask. We went to Isetan Scotts and she got the best brand, a genuine Thermos. Can't really recall the price, but it was indicative of the brand being the best in town! That was in late 1995. Today, in 2008 - it is still hot! Thank ABBA for Mother's gift!

2) Commercial-Christmas is declaring her arrival with glittery things on the retail shelves. I thank ABBA that JESUS, the Reason-for-the-season, has "aredi and alwis" arrived in my heart! (I can't help but try on the velvety soft santerina cap)
