The Road Not Taken (3)

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I
I took the one less traveld by
And that has made all the difference..................................Robert Frost

My Pool Work Progress Part II

My dreams come true......

Alhamdulillah..

Little landscape by adik & anna

Full view: 5" depth

The Road Not Taken (2)

Then took the other, as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same...

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

My Pool Work Progress

Kerja yang teliti... huh...

Touched-up

Huh.... comotnyer

Takut kene hujan....

This guy is fully responsible to this project! Thanks dude!

The Road Not Taken (1)

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one travelr, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.....

Another art work in progress

By art he gladly found what he did seek, A full requital of his striving pain. Art can do much, but this maxim's most sure: A weak or wounded brain admits no cure.

-Anne Dudley Bradstreet,

"Art is life - art is a lifestyfe, not a job one goes to... "

" At the bottom of the eddy of life's experience lies the paradigm of the soul..."

Princess Bakawali

This is Pokok bunga bakawali ... or easily named by the 'esperts' as Epiphyllum anguliger or ric rac cactus, culturally, ada juga yang panggil bunga ini.... moon cactus dan queen of the night.

One interesting fact about this flower... the beautiful scent - and one more... akan kembang pada waktu malam, dalam pukul 10.00pm dah mula kembang. Bau menjadi lebih wangi pada pukul 12.00am iaitu bila ia kembang penuh. Bunga akan layu bila dah pagi. Sekali jer ia kembang, pas tu layu terus...

You know... accroding to some culture, this flower has its own mystical power. Menurut kepercayaan orang-orang cina bahawa pokok bakawali boleh mendatangkan tuah dan rezeki sekiranya berbunga. Mereka juga percaya sekiranya pokok Bakawali itu mati atau layu bermakna mereka akan mendapat musibah - God, jangan laaaaa biarkan pokok ni layu ya!

Orang-orang Melayu percaya ada orang Bunian akan berada berhampiran pokok bakawali semasa bunganya hendak kembang. Eheheh that's why we always pray to God, and let the Bunian meng-ameen-kan doa kami... ekekek sound syirik laaa Teri..... tapi... suka suka, pastu kita solat laa isyak kan?

Ada juga yang percaya bahawa terdapat seorang dewa dari kayangan yang menjaga bunga ini semasa ia kembang.Ada juga yang percaya bahawa pokok bakawali ini mempunyai hubungan yang rapat dengan orang yang menanamnya dan percaya sekiranya tuan punya pokok meninggal dunia, pokok bakawali yang ditanamnya turut akan mati - alamakkkkkkkkkkkk ni seram nih...

Anyways..... we as believer still have the Faith to Allah. He is most Merciful ....

Our USA Trip

The fact is that we never thought that this is Tasik Superior that we learnt in school. Cik Noraini - huh- sapa tak ingat dia???????????

Scary! And now... I know how big is the Tasik! Its really really BIG

At out checkpoint US borer to Canada. When we entered the I.D the slang is different. The people are different. As Brad said "I am Bubbly" (opss... Brad, is my spelling correct?? Well, I'm not Canadian... so... tak apa lah kan???)
