 Love is patient, Love is kind. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves ~ 1 Corinthians 13:4-7Symphony of Love indicates an entire life. Life is made of songs, music, dances and melodies on a huge stage. In this floral arrangement design, I picked Dancing Lady orchids (scientifically called Oncidium Gower Ramsey) as primary flower since it is one of my Significant Other's favorite flowers. Appearing like dancing ladies of striking yellow gown with burgundy top and elabor… |

 Have you ever thought of why photographs and pictures are placed in a frame for display. Aside from art-decor, one of the main function of a frame is to focus the viewer's attention onto the photograph. However, usage of frames are not restricted to finished and printed photos. By composing your photos through natural frames you can focus the attention of the viewer to the subject of the photograph. Framing, if executed correctly and purposefully also creates a sense of depth. Many creative po… |

 One of the most important tools to carry around during your travels must be your trusty little (or large) camera. The image of a tourist totting his or her camera round the neck comes to mind. And it is important to capture images from your travels such that when you regale with the tales of your exploits on your return home, these photographs will be a testament of the grandeur, beauty and the exoticness of the places that you trot upon. Off course it would have been better if your photos can a… |

 'Bak Kut Teh', is literally translated as Pork Ribs Tea. But I think it is more meaningful to be called Pork Ribs Herbal Soup to detail this local specialty. Bak Kut Teh or mouth-watering Chinese soup is made from pork ribs which are simmered in a collection of Chinese herbs for several hours. It is also served with white rice or yam rice, 'yu cha kui' (fried dough stick), fresh raw garlic and oystered 'Yau Mak' (lettuce). This is a popular dish among South East Asian Chinese but surprisingly,… |

 After leaving the ground of The Grand Palace, we took a left turn back to the main road where the three elephants statue is and walked towards south along the wall of The Grand Palace. That afternoon was hot and luckily we brought along an umbrella for shade. Rain or shine, we were determined to make it.At the end of the wall, there is a junction, we made a right turn and several tourist buses were there. Yup, we were getting closer to the entrance of Wat Pho. It is open from 8:00 am - 5:00 pm a… |

 After being told that Mamma Mia is more like a musical show than just the movie, I decided to drag my hubby along to the theatre. After all, both of us are ABBA fan. Well, although we missed the first 10 minutes of this movie, we could sense the fun and high spirit in the beginning of the movie itself. No doubt it is the songs that bring out the character of the movie, but the fun part is really about 'seeing' the songs come alive . If you could agree with me, it is the songs and the acting tha… |

 As I mentioned in my earlier installment, no matter how hard I pestered my Significant Other (SO), he was still not going to reveal 'the' place we were going to dine on our Anniversary night. So last night was 'D' day and he drove steadily along Tanjung Bungah Road, and I was thinking we could be heading to Batu Ferringghi for dinner. Suddenly, he made a turn into Hillside area, and my suspicion was Ingolf - The German Restaurant. Yeah, it must be Ingolf! Only the moment he switched off the car … |
