What Tree

We went to Tenom Agricultural Park two weeks ago. It was my fourth visit to the park and never been there during fruit season. If you make a visit during these time, you can eat whatever edible fruits from the gardens, as much as you can. But you can only eat them in the park, they do not sell the fruits and you can never sneak them out. No tapau-tapau.

I made new findings anyway.

Beautiful flower isn't it? It came from this weird trees. The fruits look like buah kepayang but it's not. I know because we got pokok kepayang in our orchad. My hubby made a random guess and said it's buah kelapa laut (see coconut). Haimeh?

Anybody knows what tree is this?

A photo...

...speaks a thousand word.

So I hope these pictures will speak for me of how much I love going back to the place where I grew up.

The only blue (flower) I know.

Belong to the passion fruit tree.

Map of the road to my house. From the highway, 2km turn right.

Morning dew.

Smaller than my finger tip.

A black panther. Size reduced and domesticated by regurlar feed of cat biscuit.

Locally called "pokok duit-duit" (coin plant).

I climbed a tree for this shot.

Seedling! Looking cute and innocent.

Fungi. Before being ruined by my thoughtless hand.

Posing for my camera before he goes lalala.

Plenty of space to grow.

Holding me tight.

Sweet, and sour.

Give Second Life

Sometimes, I don't feel like throwing away the empty bottles and boxes. I often feel like..."oh they're cute...macam x sampai hati mau buang". Look at these---they suppose to be dispossed long time ago but now they all safe and sound on the shelf. A bit innovation and creativity---u'll feel like giving a second life to things often seen as wastes.

Now..who wants to call them rubbish?

My dad's herbal remedy box . The wrapping paper used to wrap a present for hubby. After he unwrapped the gift, I rescue the wrapper. Can be used to keep small things like paperclips, safety pins, hair clips, toothpick pun boleh.

Thousand's Island bottle. Last time they were glass.Nowadays, plastic. Can be use as decoration or dust trap. Hehe.

HP sauce bottle. Never finished this one. Too lazy to continue. :-P

Bukan Kotak Pandora

I've seen this box displayed at the shop since last christmas. Aku rasa kotak ini cute dan menggoda.

No particular reasons. I just like boxes.

Sebenarnya aku x suka sangat idea membeli sesuatu semata2 untuk dijadikan koleksi. Kerana ia akan menjadi suatu pembaziran. Kerana aku fikir juga aku x akan hidup selama2nya untuk menjadi pemilik barang-barang tersebut. Jadi, pada hari aku membeli kotak ni aku dalam dilema.

----jangan beli----

-------beli---------

Kalau harga makanan naik lebih baik gunakan duit itu untuk beli makanan, atau lebih baik sedekah pada orang susah daripada membeli----sebuah kotak kayu!

Tapi akhirnya aku beli juga. Sebab aku fikir jiwa manusia ini perlu disuap dengan makanan2 yang boleh menggembirakannya. Kalau hati senang, kita akan tersenyum. Senyum yang ikhlas dari hati. Kita akan senyum pada orang2 yang kita sayang dan orang2 di sekeliling. Dan kita akan menyenangkan hati mereka. Jadi orang pertama yang aku gembirakan hatinya melalui kata putus yang aku buat itu adalah tuan punya kedai itulah.

Suatu hari, bila tiba masa---mungkin aku akan hadiahkan kepada seseorang. Mungkin seorang anak kecil yang jatuh hati kepada kotak ini. Atau kepada seorang kawan sebagai tanda ingatan.

Poem (for the cookie)
