EARTH HOUR 2011 campaign....

kau laksana...bintang malam.

just listen to the song...



this song was written by Ahmad Nawab and was sung by Saloma.
the song was taken from the film "Do Re Mi". 

Saloma was a great Malaysian singer / actress and married to another great Malaysian artist, P. Ramlee. 

cake.....

Courteousness is like a fancy cake. Every “please…” is like the sweet creamy icing/frosting and each “thank you…” is like the colourful sprinkles, and every smile is like the red shiny cherry. The courteous person is like the soft spongy cake base.  

A FOODIE'S TAKE ON...sweet and spicy!

sweet and creamy air bandung, a drink made of rose flavoured cordial and layered with unsweetened evaporated milk. so, "where's the sweet part?" you might ask. well, the sweetness of the drink is actually from the cordial itself.

well, what goes better with something as sweet as this (other than me, of course, hehehe...)?

a bowl of hot,spicy,sour and tangy tom yam. tom yam is actually a traditional dish from Thailand; but due to massive "fussioning", tom yam's recipe varies according to different preferences. shown here, is a seafood and vegetable version of it. 

how was it? yummy!

what are these..?

wondering what are these photos for huh...?

(shhhhhhh....it's a secret between us; i made a new one; don't tell anyone! hehehehe....)

poetry with picture 2

awan jingga

awan jingga

beralun perlahan

                -terlalu perlahan seakan pegun terus

ia sudah puas bermain dan belayar

sejak pagi

adakah ia enggan pulang tidur;

di balik tirai biru tua?

the orange cloud

the orange cloud

drifting slow

                -too slow as if frozen still

been playing and sailing

since morning

was it reluctant to sleep

behind the dark blue veil?

time to play

my Year 6 boys and girls 
were really enjoying themselves 
very much!


it was 
one very tiring week 
for the Year 6 students, 
where they had to sit 
for the Pre-UPSR exam 
beginning from Tuesday 
until Thursday. 


Very kasihan (pity) 
they didn't have 
that many chance 
to play.

so, 
when given the chance, 
these kids 
really play hard 
around the field...
and of course, 
i will take the chance 
to play along too. 


hehehehe....
