Hibiscus

Image
It was a lovely Saturday afternoon and the flowers are in bloom. The hibiscus plant in particular, was blossoming really well.. Hibiscus rosa-sinensis This is also Malaysia's national flower.. It comes in all sorts of colours and there are well over 200 species of hibiscus. I just found out that South Korea's national flower is also the hibiscus, but a different species. Mr.Brownie just had a leak at the plant and is walking away nonchalantly. Is that why the plant's growing so well and the flowers are so big and bright?

Last Saturday, Summerhope and I went out shopping for..BANGLES (well Summer wanted to get them, I just tagged along =P ) Off we went shopping, then we ended up at Little India..Over there, there was also a "Pasar Ramadhan" aka Ramadhan Market going on. During the month of Ramadhan, the Muslims fast and during this month there's this thing called the Ramadhan Market - rows and rows of stalls selling all sorts of food. Most common dishes you will find will be the chicken rice, roasted chicken (all sorts of varieties - marinated, blak pepper, honey, etc..) and savoury cakes. I did not manage to capture any photos on that day; however, I did get some pics yesterday (it's everywhere!) Note the Spanish colour there? heheheh I purposely took that pic! Buying foodstuff to break fast Okay..back to Little India..well I would say Miss Summer was spoilt for choice of bangles there!! She was having a dilemma on which ones to buy..they're all so colourful! Typical shop lo

I MISS SPAIN SO MUCH!

What About Now?

I YouTubed Daughtry's What About Now , and his video is so inspiring. Some of you may have seen his song played in American Idol, when he went to visit the children with AIDS in Africa. The embedded code for the video has been disabled, so I can only provide the link. Click here . Plaease view it to get the full effect ;) Seeing his video has resurfaced one of my goals to achieve.. I have this dream to help out in Thailand - it's a project that keeps girls safe from sex trade/slavery. Ever since Oprah had a feature on it, I wanted to help them out. Then my friend Espy told me about Keep The Girls Safe Project in Thailand . They teach the girls living skills and keep them in school. So far I've emailed the people in charge, to volunteer, but there's no response (!).They only require monetary aids. I shall get this fulfilled one day.. Anyway, these are the lyrics to Daughtry's song: Shadows fill an empty heart As love is fading, From all the things that we are
