The Fruits of Aglaonema hybrid

This plant grows well in my farm under the tall trees that it started seeding for the first time a few weeks ago. Normally, I would propagate this plant using cutting. Now, I can use the seeds to produce these plants.

The White Moth

The colour is not match able to the environment, the predators can easily find the insect.
But never mind, it has other way to protect itself, the irritable powder!



Where is the brown Butterfly?

It matches quite well to the brown dropping leaves. Predators would not be able to find it at a glance. It took me some time before I found it and took the picture. Can you find the butterfly?


My Ugly Dog

Ha, dare to sleep so soundly! Not scare of the monitor lizard?


Yesterday, a large monitor lizard  about 2/3 of his size, entered my house and he battled with the lizard for 15 minutes. He managed to bite the lizard's tail and hurt him. The monitor lizard vomited out part of the chicken flesh it had swallowed earlier and the two of them lied down in the middle of our entrance, panting, snarling and glaring at each other. Finally, my son managed to push the lizard out of the house while my daughter and maid were screaming. The drama ended after the lizard disappeared into the large drain.

Bloody Drink

This glass of drink looks delicious. But, it is actually part of my blood from the 20litre bucket after I soaked my bloody towel.



I cut my hand vein during farm clearing last week and blood spurt out like spring water. I tried to stop with tissue papers but ended up all red. So, I used the towel to tie up the wound and rushed to the nearest clinic. Unfortunately, it was lunch time, the glass door was locked. I knocked at the door and heard the voice that it was lunch time. Yes, lunch time from 1pm to 2pm, I saw the notice. I was there at 1.04pm, so bloody unfortunate. I had been bleeding for ten minutes. So I tried knocking the door again, I was hoping that any medical personnel would at least helped me to stop the bleeding. Unfortunately, no respond. 
In order not to waste time, I quickly got up the car and drove to Sarikei town which was 12km away. Five minutes had been wasted for stopping at this Clinic and so did my blood. I wondered how long I could take before I went into shock for excessive loss of blood. I tightened the towel on my wound and drove with one hand towards the bigger town. It took ten minutes and the blood also stopped flowing. I went back to my home and soaked the towel inside the pail. This was how this bloody drink come about. I tried to use alcohol to clean the wound, concerned about getting septic. I was a mistake, blood oozed out again. I quickly used another towel to press against the wound until the bleeding stopped. Then I went to private clinic not far away. This doctor cleaned the wound and the nurses dressed my wound. It costed me US$12.

In this country, we have a lot of parasites and blood suckers who do not actually work but getting fat salaries, and spend a lot of time drinking coffee , so this drink is for them.
Hanging and Gliding Wasp 

I always see birds and insects flying in the air. But to see an insect hanging and gliding in the air is really rare occasions. This wasp just did that in my garden. It hanged like an ufo in the air and glided forwards and stopped suddenly. 
Perhaps aeronautics can learn from this insect how to make latest planes. 




Eugenia oleina

The plant can be quite attractive during this time, from drought to sudden frequent rains. The plants in my garden are blooming with orange red leaves and can be seen far away.
