Adenium 'Spindrift'

A Taiwan hybrid...supposed to be slightly fragrant but i can't detect any scent...

Hoya mindorensis

....one of my favourite hoya. Just love its perfect globulous shape. It blooms frequently and easy to grow. Doesn't it look good enough to eat?

Orchids

Phal bellina. LOvely scent! TaiTai, you bought this for me : )



Coelogyne speciosa....too bad this one doesn't give a spray of blooms. It flowers one at a time and this is the fourth cycle.


one of the earlier blooms

Dinner

Decided to buy dinner last night and we chose London Kebab (KB Branch). DH had Chicken Doner + Fish & Chips and i had Lamb Doner. We were disappointed...heard that the one in BSB is good but sorry to say, KB standard is crap....it was like eating yesterday's dinner and DH doesn't like his either. I think i make better kebab and fish & chips. Well, this is one more food joint that we'll take a miss in the future. *sigh* how i missed all the good food in Singapore,,,the Indian rojak, nasi lemak, lontong, yong tau fu. I must fly back again! Lol...

Neoregelia

Apart from being attracted to weird, out of this world and exotic plants, I'm also a sucker for plants with striking colours. Neoregelia is one such plant. It is a genus belonging to the Bromeliaceae family. These are my neos.....

My Plumerias

Plumeria pudica aka Bridal Bouquet





Violet Princess

These are some of my small plumeria aka frangipani collection that has bloomed for me. For some people in our asian community, this plant is still taboo to have in the house compound. It is one of many scented flowering plants that are considered favourite dwellings for evil spirits and brings bad Feng Shui. Another common name for it is the 'Graveyard Plant'.....what an injustice to such a beautiful plant ~ reason being that the common white flowering ones are mostly found planted in cemeteries.

Glad to know that in Singapore, plumerias are becoming a favourite for those with landed properties and they can be seen growing along the roads and parks. When i was in my secondary schooling years, i remembered the whole bunch of us plucking some dark red flowering ones somewhere in Frankel Estate....it was for our dance performance for the school concert. The plants were of cos planted outside of the home compound. Ah...those were the days... I've yet to see tho, people going crazy over plumeria here in Brunei. Maybe i should go around promoting it...lol..

Apa Nak Jadi

Astaghfirullah Hal'azim....

Bukan kah tanggungjawab Imam Masjid untuk berada diMasjid pada waktunya especially waktu2 solat? Sebaliknya yang kerap berlaku diMasjid Mohammad Jamalul Alam, Kuala Belait pada waktu solat subuh. Is this the norm in all Masjid in Brunei and the world as a whole? Bukankah mereka ini dibayar gaji untuk melaksanakan tugas2 mereka? Kemana perginya komitmen mereka? Ini tidak...sudahlah tiada azan, salah seorang makmun terpaksa menjadi Imam...kadang2 warga Indonesia, kadang2 bekas Iman yg sudah retire. Ini bukanlah nak mengata tapi antara luahan kekesalan terhadap perkara2 yang sedang terjadi didunia ini. Ini kah yang dikatakan tanda2 akhir zaman? Wallahualam Bisawab....

I really hope, with all my heart, ada seseorang yang ber'authority' di Kementerian Hal Ehwal Ugama Negara Brunei Darussalam will somehow stumble upon this entry and do something. Kenapa tak make a report saja? It'll probably end up in the bin.
