A beautiful little bird, chirping happly while collecting nectar.. Thank you to Mr. Nelsonkhor for the name of the bird. It is hard to capture a good picture of birds in the wild, I suppose you need a lot of practice and patience not counting great passion in order to succeed in the field of bird photography.

In your life when everything is ample you will definitely at ease but it's human nature to not really satisfy with every little bit that is ordinary. Unlike plants especially flowers, when everything is perfect, A ok... the cycle of life keeps going.. on and on and on and on... like this little water lily at our small water pot. I suppose everything is cozy at the place where my wife put it in about 3-4 months ago. From the first few weeks it never fail to produce at least 1 flower that successfully blooms into lovely lily and I hope it would last a lifetime... You will never tired of watching each and every blooms to the other...

This is a beautiful White Butterfly or Moth Orchid, known also as the Phalaenopsis Amabilis. It requires indirect sunlight with a rather humid surrounding but not wet. It could bloom at one time for weeks.Stumble It!
This orchid has been blooming in the garden about a week now and it makes the green garden a touch of fire.. fiery red..

The uniqueness about Malaysia in comparison to many other countries that have the same traits and attraction of a melting pot county is the richness of cultural heritage. Malaysia is one of the Malay Archipelago, a cluster of islands consist almost 20,000 island in which constitutes Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei and stretching to Papua New Guinea. As such many of the cultural activities like dances, foods and even languages are common from one country to the other.
Most of the local people where I live (Batu Pahat) somehow or rather can be traced to be originated from Java of Indonesia, many of which migrated over a century ago. And many cultural inheritance like dances and food are rather similar with the current people of Java, Indonesia. One of the most popular entertainment activities is Kuda Kepang dance. It is especially popular during wedding festival and many special occasions.
Last week I manage to take a few photos at one of the Kuda Kepang dance and it sure brings lots of memories since nowadays you hardly find it to be held at weddings anymore. Not like when I was a kid whereby each and every wedding would host a Kuda Kepang dance.

Took this photo of cow one afternoon... Somehow teenage mutant ninja turtle came to mind...
The simple yet comfortable chalet of the Charlie Motel and Restaurant at Cenang Beach, Pulau Langkawi.
The beautiful dome of Mesjid Putrajaya (Putrajaya Mosque).
The Prime Minister's Office building.
Putrajaya is the new Malaysia's government administration centre and it is named after the first Malaysia Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra. It has a beautiful city centre with large uniquely shaped building that makes you feel like you are somewhere abroad. Last week I was in Putrajaya and everywhere you see are gardens of flowers that the city is dubbed as the Garden and Intelligent City and the surrounding environment is very welcoming that will make you want to come again and again.
One thing that I really don't understand is the naming usage of places at Putrajaya is rather differs from most of Malaysian places. I suppose it came from the US, or an influence from Singapore naming of Precinct for block or groups of housing estate. The various places are called Presint and many blocks of buildings are called Parcel. Parcel C, D and E or Presint 1, 2, 3 and etc.
Anyhow, I could see a lot of tourist visiting Putrajaya, armed with camcorder and all sorts of digital imaging devices. But I supposed I managed to get to take a photo of a forgotten visitors.

The world of nature, the flora and faunas, and even the animal kingdom is our vital source of energy today and tomorrow. Be it dead or alive. Dead, you will get from fossil fuel, after thousand of years buried deep down inside the mother earth. Alive, as an energy that let you breath every single moment of your life.
Pantun always reflect nature as the pembayang or the first 2 phrases, it is because Malaysia is a tropical country where sun shines almost all year long and the nature is second to none. And pantun is a Malay heritage and as such the nature like trees, flowers, animals would easily find it ways into the everyday life a Malaysian. And since a pantun is a form of poetry it would also find it ways to encapsulate the art of love and romance within the Malay community. Like one of the famous song cum pantun of the 60s, Gurindam Jiwa.
Gurindam Jiwa ( L ) ( P ) ( korus ) ( P ) ( L & P ) | I definitely won't be able to translate this but it is a song in a form of Pantun in which is about love and that, love is forever that even in death one will wait for each other at the gate of heaven. A Malay version of Romeo and Juliet so to speak. Click on the play button to listen to the song..

Bunga Senduduk Putih or the white Senduduk flower, took this photo at one of the many flower nursery at Sungai Buloh, Selangor. And I love this picture so much that I bought the plant, a small one in a polybag for RM 2.
Extrated from Garden Asia Magazine :
"The senduduk putih, (Melastoma imbricatum) though rarer than the common purple ones has long been identified as a medicinal plant for women’s ailments."

Yet another yellow flower, I took this while taking breakfast at a food stall waiting for the Eye On Malaysia to start operating for the day. They were planted all over the park and in this early morning with the sun shine ever so brightly, and the weather is warm not yet too hot, the flower will definitely drawn you to enjoy the scenery. Anyhow, I don't really know what kind of flower is this, so if you know do tell me yaa... but my guess is, it is a Dahlia of sort...
