Wedding Roses

How many roses are required for wedding purpose? 555 or 999, I wonder. Perhaps, there is a lucky number to consider.

These roses are big and beautiful, unlike the roses in my garden. I believe all these roses came from Cameron Highland or Genting highland, where the climate is cool. 

Water Lily

It is not common to find water lily plants in Kuching Parks or Gardens. Sarikei has one pond in Semankoi Park full of violet lily flowers. This pink lily is found in Stutong Forest Park but is not well maintained until there is hardly any water in the small pond.
The water lily plant is also not on sale in the market probably because it is muddy and watery to carry around. But recently I managed to get some small lily plants from my sister and planted into my former waging pool in the garden. 
It seems to be growing well.

The Beatles

The band was the only English Rock Band I knew during the 1960s, even in the rural Borneo. "Hey Jude" is still in my mind, although classical and piano musics attract me more nowadays.

This singer looks neither like Paul MacCartney, John Lennon, Harrison or Carr, but the hair-style and the way of singing still carry the Beatles's image. He was singing in the wedding dinner at Kuala Lumpur.

That is how Musicians and Music influenced the people of this planet, especially teenagers. 

Water Boatman (Gerridae)

This insect seems to have translucent legs resting on the brownish clear and stagnant water in the forest reserve. The body must be super light for it to stand on the water surface.

Isn't it to be more efficient to have flatter feet than these pointed feet ? No, it will be difficult to move with four flat feet.

Monkey Tribe

"Guys, can you stop fooling around and have serious discussion on our plan to take over the homo sapiens. They have enough fun on this planet already, killing each other and terrorise us. It is our turn now!"

My Ugly Dog

Hei, naughty guy, what are are doing on my sand pile? There are so many places in the garden for you to shoot, why you have to pee here?

I am using this sand to make concrete for my extended kitchen floor, but this fellow adds undesirable acidic ingredient to the raw material. That was why I said earlier, good concrete was not easy to procure. 

Yellow or Orange Marigold?

Like magic, it turns orange in the shed, but bright yellow under the sun. 
I used to have a number of these flowers but had died few years back. It is refreshing to see these beautiful flowers again in Kuala Lumpur.
