I Love Roses...



Yes, truly I love Roses. It one of the flowers that's great to give as a gift from time to time to your love one.  Its colors always captivate me and it always create an atmosphere of beauty and love. I have tried to grow Roses in my garden but to no success. The heat and humidity of the tropic made it almost impossible to grow it. Anyway Roses could grow well in the highland of this country like in the Cameron Highland where the air is cool just like in the temperate zone. Because of that we can get a regular supply of this enchanting flowers all the year around at the Florist. On March 7 this year I bought a bunch of Roses for my wife 76th Birthday. She placed it in a crystal vase and there it looks elegant and at the same time charmed the atmosphere around it. Roses like any other flowers does not last long in the heat of the tropical weather. It would soon wilted after serving it purpose. During that few days it sat on the table it does radiated love and peace to the people around it, enchanting the atmosphere in the house with love as well. I learned that Roses could be dried and use longer than its fresh live. So before it wilted I decided to dry it the way I know best. I dried it and two weeks after that voila! I got the same Roses in dry form. 

I put it back in the same crystal vase and it is now a permanent feature on the table in our dining hall.

Above are the images of the Fresh Roses as well the Dried one. Wonderful indeed.   

Have a nice day.

Ikan Singgang....

Ikan Singgang is  one traditional Malay dish that is simple to do. Yet it is not only delicious but nutritious as well. Its one dish that you can find in the Malay world, perhaps call by other names, nevertheless it is still Ikan Singgang. It is the creation of our ancestors where fish have always been their main protein source; sort of the wisdom of the old. A wise creation indeed and because of it we still kept enjoying it  I have always love Ikan Singgang especially when Ikan Aya [Tuna fish] is use but it always taste as good even with other fish like Tenggiri or Kerisi. When making this simple dish one herb/spice that is a must is Lengkuas [Galangal] for without it the Singgang is not complete. The above image of Ikan Singgang is made with Ikan Tenggiri. Delicious as usual. Taken with steamy white rice and Budu [Anchovies sauce] or Sambal Belacan [Shrimp sauce] it is heaven already.  I posted that image on Facebook and below are two informative comments made there by two of

The Sunrise at Teluk Cempedak...

We were in Kuantan for a short holiday. As usual I always take the time to watch the sunrise at Teluk Cempedak; a beach that I call my own. I grew up playing on that sandy beach from the age of seven years old and I felt in love with the sea. So going to that beach is a ritual that I never missed to do whenever I am in Kuantan.  Early that Saturday morning of September 3, 2016 I woke early and with my nephew driving we left for the beach at around 6.30am. According to the data I had the sun would rise at Teluk Cempedak at 7.01am that morning. When we arrived at the beach there were already others there waiting for the sun to rise. I had brought my latest camera the Canon EOS M10 with me. It is a Mirrorless camera, the new new generation of the DSLR. It is much smaller than the DSLR and have interchangeable lens. As soon as I got there I walk along the beach and enjoy the freshness of the morning air. Yonder at the horizon I could see some light as the the sun makes it
