Discovery

~Episode 2 of Wild fruit~

I never know those fruit can be eaten before, how nice! It was introduced to me by a friend. Although I do not know its name (I mean the fruit, XD), but it sure give a good impression to me since it taste wonderful~ good thing I know it can be eaten, so while I'm a little hungry, I can hunt for those tiny little berries!

 

 

Vege-culture

~My pastime hobby~

Fruiting plant

It takes a long time to germinate the eggplant below.....



 

 

 The tomato below only get mature fruits from flowering after 1 month....? 

 

Green vegetables

 

"keledek" leaves, direct translate => sweet potato leaves..? however, no potatoes underneath...haha...behind it is the "kangkung" => water spinach...all people said easy to plant, but mine seem mini type of the healthy plant....soil not good..? pls advise...

 

The right hand side photo is "sawi kerinting" => 'curly' musturd..? no idea, but tastes good, crunchy if it cooked for few seconds..XD, behind that is the "sawi bunga" => 'flowering' musturd...and at the corner of the upper right hand side is the "bayam" => spinach, common vege :)

 

Legume

My favourite "kacang botol", harvested 2 times...hardy plant and is a creeper type (recommend to plant in your garden) and long life span compare to other vegetables, not much pests at the moment..except the 'white flies'...if you know what I mean, most vegetables prone to that particular larva-insects...

Gawai holidays

~Outings~

 

 

In front of the entrance to the Plaza merdeka shopping complex in kuching. The simple decoration of the Gawai festival represents new year to the several native ethnic group in this city.

 

Nature works best even when there's only a wall...but the shrub manage to get its way to the surface of the wall and climbs higher to get the sunlight, their source of energy...

 

 

 

The view of the kuching city in daylight...one can never miss the DUN building that somehow represents landmark of kuching city...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wax apple or known as water apple etc

Wax apple season~
This mini wax apple contain mostly water, prone to disease infection if not taken proper care...photo above are some of the wax apples on an abandon tree..nice to see but not to eat...it may have worms especially fully ripe ones...only the fully ripen fruits on tree that will bear the little sweet flavors...;)

Tour at ease

- Night time -

Going for a night view in Civic Centre (Dewan Suarah Kuching). When reaching for the elevator, the elevator door automatically open and close. The movement automatically repeat each time, open and close, open and close. Seems like the sensor have broken down or others explanation. It felt eerie but I didn't speak up as not to freaked out my friends. Actually before I arrived at this location, I have ask my colleague show me the direction. I was told that there are a few suicide cases at this site...

       I gather my courage to go up and down few times to capture the night scenery with my friends that are not known to the cases. Unfortunately, I can't really get a clear shot as the elevator glass screen is obscured with dirt. When going up, I used the other elevator, as the one broken down can't even shut the door when press 'shut' button. I don't even dare to enter the broken down elevator the first time, but then when going down I lost my way and used the broken down elevator by accidents. Luckily nothing happened.





- Day 1 -

 

Celebrated my friend birthday in this beautiful beach called Permai beach (next to Damai beach). I hope that the scenery view there may capture my friend heart as much as I do.

 

There was this little shed by the beautiful seaside.....

 

After arrived at this amazing location, then I remember I didn't bring any cloth to changed for the water activity...how careless...? Nevertheless, it is still worthy to enjoy the tranquility and serenity of this place~

 

There is this resort near the beach which have swimming pool adjacent to the beach itself. I stealthily move around in the resort without any trouble..seem like I'm not being suspicious of outsider..I even lay myself on the beach chair staring at the sky (photo below).

 

 

Came up to this private place is such a fate..There's actually a sign of 'no trespassing' at the gate, but the gate is open. Inside, there are two small house and with some people hanging outside chatting. They notice our presence but did not acknowledge us. So, I spend some time taking in all the mother's nature have to offer which is so breathtaking~

 

Quick snap of the mesmerizing effect from the beach and the sky~

 

This beach area is at Santubong village there. The light from the sun is being smeared by the cottony cloud..

 



I suppose that is the boat the villagers use it to catch fish....

 

 

After watch some movie, realize that the temple is full of people. I felt so curious why in this time of the year the temple being fully occupied..so my friend and I went inside to get a look of what's happening and we saw a lot of senior citizen having a singing competition..wow, they are so enthusiasm singing the oldies song!
