... bunga dian ... hmmm.. which usually stands for that decorative candle during a wedding function... but Bunga & Dian .. will be Flower & Candle .... hmmmmm... just inserting "&" could make a sentence differs..... ... just like buku lali ... .. and ... buku & lali .... and many other sentences ....
... the red roses ... and the tea candles .... the roses are real btw .... nice isn't it ... :)
... they are usually green in colour ... but four those having 4 seasons ... yellow ... brown ... is a norm ....
... this time around ... it is red... or maroon ....... jadilah seperti pohon kayu yang lebat buahnya.. tumbuh di tepi jalan .... dilempar buahnya dengan batu .... tetapi tetap dibalas dengan buah ... (Saidina Abu Bakar As-Sidiq )....
... if the earlier photo was about a flower which have reached its peak .... now this is a flower which is about to bloom ......
.. the pink bud ...On the lighter side of life ......I bet... everyone of us ... do listen to our local radio every now and then .......... listening to the local radio..... one can't help but will encounter those song dedication and stuffs .... .. and what I found amusing is the way how they address themselves... or even send their dedication.. be it in Malay ... or English .... ... for sure one will come across these messages ...."Ucap selamat harijadi ini ditujukan kepada Ain34557869608, dengan ucapan tiada hadiah yang dapat diberikan kecuali sekalung doa ... bah bila lagi kena belanja.... dari member Jeff Starlight 334455444" ( .. typical b'day message .. and what is it about all these number after their name...??? )"Kepada sayangku KekasihCinta, mengapa sepi tanpa berita... daripada TaufanCinta" .. ( hmm... if he/she is your lover ... why long time no news...? ... something's not right here.... )"To BabyLove .. Mizzz U loads.. don't forget about our date tonight ... from GulaDaddy..." ... ( eeer.. can't u just sms them instead of announcing it on the radio.... baik masa jua dorang mendengar ...?)" To my buddy STUD24678900.4 ... heeeiiii wakeeee upp .. it's getting late..... From SweetHeart 9089097.778" .. ( eeerr... if they are still asleep... for sure they won't listen to the radio.... what the ...?)" To all of my friends ... Baby345678, Sis345678, Teemah345678, HongLeong345678, Spinster345678, Cayang345678, Alai345678, Mydin345678, QueenTea345678, RumahanLaki345678, KicapPedas345678, KupiahBerlipat345678 .... bah jangan lupa esuk kitani kepantai ... jangan akhir datang.. abis karang tampat kena booking .... daripada AliSetan345678..." ... ( .. awu .. atu sekampung disabutnya.... banyak lagi numburnya.. baik tah 2x4-4x6 kah apa kah.... numbur akaun bank kah ... password kah ... numbur ic kah ...)" .. bla bla.... dan tidak lupa kepada DJ .. ceria selalu dan berhati-hati semasa bertugas... eerr boleh putar kan lagu kah? ... lagu Take That.. Want U back ... " ( .. eerr padan tah ngampu DJ ... rupanya.. kan ngambil point minta mainkan lagu... salah lagi tu nama lagu ... Back For Good lah .. no wonder the DJ can't find the song ...)
.. actually there are loads more... but just can't fit it all here.... and sometimes.. not only the caller .. but the DJ also made some funny or embarrassing remarks.... perhaps... I'll just keep it for future post .... till then ... have a good weekend .... ;)
... only fake flower blooms forever.... a real flower will only blossoms for while... and some only for a night ....
... this flower have had reached its peak ... yet.. it is still as glorious....hmmm....... on the lighter side....... some of our everyday stuffs... we just take it for granted ... such that.. the origins of their name .... of which ... they are actually their brand.. not what they is .... eeeer confuse? ... just read the examples below lah ....... XEROX ... established as a photocopier .. hence people will say ... " can u xerox this for me please .... " ... instead of ... " can u photocopy this for me ..." .. even thou the photocopier is not a Xerox ... it may be Canon .. Minolta .. or the like ....... KLEENEX ... famous tissue brand .... " ... do u have any kleenex with u ..?" .. thou people nowadays .. will just say tissue ..... OMO ... a famous washing detergent .... " .. oh no .. I have run out of OMO ... " .. eermm... doesn't sound right ..... perhaps only happens in Brunei ... " ... eh abis tia omo ah ... ada jual omo kah sini ani ah ...? " .... despite having new brands such as .. Trojan .. Fab ... and Persil ...etc ... people in Brunei .. will still call it ... OMO .... .... KODAK .. one of the established camera film .... " .. ermmm.. I've only got one Kodak left ..." ... or in malay ... .." .. nah inda beKODAK kamera mu ah ... " .... ( mana jua inda berkodak ... mun digital ..) ... when one should say ..... " yikes.. no more spare film left ..." ....... COLGATE ... another well known brand of toothpaste .... " ... sorry dude... no more colgate left ..." ..... " ... nah abis tia colgate ku ah .... " .. when people should say ... " nah abis tia ubat gigi ku ah ..." .... but we have many brands now .... Darlie (use to be Darkie) ... Pepsodent .. Oral B .... and there's this brand ... believe it or not ..... ORAL ME! ...... CLOROX ... brand for a bleach .... " .. adeeh .. mesti jua makai clorok ni .. mun inda inda mau ilangtu eh ... " .... .. and there are many more such examples .... but it's getting late .. I can only think of this at the moment ... perhaps... u can add some more....
... another flower of the floral series .... taken at the locale ...

... flowers... something like adverts ... something which coloured the otherwise green world ...
... and today's reflection....
.....Take care of the earth and she will take care of you...
....When it comes to giving, some people stop at nothing.....
... love sees roses without thorn ...
....No fate is worse than a life without a love......
...Only after the last tree ....has been cut down,
only after the last river .....has been poisoned,
only after the last fish.... has been caught,
only then will you realize...... that money cannot be eaten....
... Protect our environment ....
... I've always posted photo about the modern.... city-life... or landscape.... or man-made wonders.... or something thereabout ....... hmmm.. I guess.. it is about time for me to get closer to nature ....... Brunei ... the Heart of Borneo .. as it is also known as.. are rich in wide variety of flora and fauna ... some of the species found in Brunei are only unique to Brunei... ... and the eco-system is such that .. within a ten metre square area .... one can find hundreds.. if not thousand... species of different breed.....
.. one of the many different beautiful flowers ... surrounded by the soothing green leaves ... Untuk Renungan Bersama...Telah bersabda Rasulullah S.A.W.... biasakan dirimu berdoa antara azan dan iqamat, sesungguhnya doa itu tidak akan ditolak...Telah bersabda Rasulullah S.A.W.... sesungguhnya para malaikat akan memohon keampunan bagi manusia selagi dia berada dalam kesucian dan tidak berhadas.....Dari Abu Hurairah r.a, bahawasanya ada seorang telah berkata kepada Nabi SAW : " Nasihatilah kepadaku ! " Dijawab oleh Nabi SAW : " Jangan marah! " Orang itu berulangkali meminta supaya dirinya dinasihati, maka tetap Rasulullah SAW mengatakan : " Jangan marah ! "
One of the beauty about cold climate country is their flowers ... loads of colourful flowers can be seen along the street .... just like the Cherry Blossom in Japan ... Korea have their own breeds of flowers as well...
... saw this contrasting features/flowers on one of the balcony wall (above photo) ..the flower's called .... Bungaie Gantungis DiDindingtugaitus..... look at it .. once ....look at twice .. then *thuuubs* I hit the lamp post ... *ouch* .. kacau eh ... ( no I was exaggerating...) .. but when I realised the contrasting colour of the flowers and the wall.. then I can't help myself capturing this ... I purposely compose it in such way .... to show the "Hanging Garden" .... thou it might not be the Hanging Garden of Babylon but yet ... hmmm....
I purposely composed the photo as it is, to show the location of the flowers, otherwise, if it was composed tighter, it won't show the location of the flowers, which is "hanging" ....
