This was a lonely bird stopping on a spotlight outside a shopping mall.  He opened his mouth a bit and sang the lonely song to himself.  May be he was hiding himself.  However in his eye, he eagerly wanted to join his group of friends in the sky and he was also searching for his partner who he can trust, and share everything in his life.

From his posture, you can notice that he stood grandly.  May be he was too proud of himself and caused him to be left out by his friends.  … …  A person who thought that he / she has done “grand” things, overconfidence and too proud is always lonely.  He was confident on the achievements that he has made, but not confident in sharing it.  This made him lonely.

In contrast of this bird, let me show you the bird couple (click here).

I show you red and white bougainvillea because they have high contrast with each other, indeed there are many other colours variety.  Now, they even have yellowish or white dotted coloured leaves.

It is a flexible plant.  Its wood is hard but the thin branches can be bent, it can be turned into a bonsai, and it can become a climber too.

It likes the warm weather very much, and can be  popularly found everywhere in Malaysia (from home garden to the landscaping decoration along the road.  Many places use it as a official flower, such as Ipoh Malaysia, Pingtung County Taiwan, Tagbilaran City in Philippines etc.

Not far from our house, we can see a big piece of purple bougainvillea along a flyover.  :)

Compare to the first picture again, you will find that the bougainvillea actually has only small unattractive white flowers, the coloured parts are actually the nearest leaves to the flower.  The coloured leaves are used to draw attraction of its surrounding, including human and insect.

In our garden, my parents have collected quite a few colours of bougainvillea.  And I have a method to “force” them to bloom, just prune them and remove all their leaves, they will bloom crazily after a few weeks (depends on how humid the weather is).  Do it at your own risk. :p

The bougainvillea colour that I like the most is red.  It looks like fire in the sky which gives the meaning of active and dynamic.

Apples and oranges are the most common imported fruits in Malaysia. But, today we show you how SiewPeng arranged them and make them special.

They are both healthy food.  Apples contain a lot of minerals, and oranges give Vitamin C.

There is an idiom which says that, “An apple a day, keeps the doctors away.”
I say,”An orange a week, prevents your body from being weak.“. - (c) 2009 ColinJong.com

Today is Monday again - the first day of a typical working week, we wish you a healthy week ahead.

This was an evening sun ray.  Although the dark was almost coming, the purple sun ray in the deep blue sky gives me the feeling of “hope”.  I have the peace in my mind when I see this picture.

The keywords that related to purple are royalty, magic, creativity, luxury, wealth, and sophistication.  However, it can appear artificial because it is rare in nature.

Purple also have the energy to help you:-
1.  use your imagination to its fullest.
2.  to re-balance your life
3.  remove obstacles
4.  calm overactivity or to energize from depression

Purple is my favorite colour.

Now is the most challenging time in a year for rose moss or Portulaca because of the raining season.  More precautions need to be taken to prevent it from becoming extinct from my garden.

This plant is afraid of the rain, but it likes the sunlight very much.  Its leaves are “designed” in the way that it can store a lot of water, therefore the soil must be well drained or otherwise it will get bloated because of over-drinking of water and get sick and gone.

However, now is the best time in a year to propagate plants because any plants will get rooted easily.  Time for me to do mass plantation of rose moss again in the limited space of my garden.  I will make a big piece of rose moss garden.
