Plastic or Real?
Topic: My Thoughts
The question that almost all our guests asked us when they visited our home. They were referring to the flower I placed above the table. My common answer was "What do you think? touch it."

Actually the flower is not real but if you don't cross-examine it, it really looks like a real one. Very tricky!

Plastic or real? This is not only applied to that flower in our home, nowadays it is very hard to identify true people, even a friend which you consider as your best friend may sometimes let you think twice if he/she is plastic or real? Sometimes the person whom you trusted most was the first one to betray you, only then you realized that he/she was indeed a plastic one.

When I was a student, people around me labeled me as snob, I wonder why because deep within me I was not that type. It just happened that I am not very friendly gal but I can easily smile to everybody whom I think is worth smiling for. That's the real one. I don't want to make good to somebody when I don't like him/her deep within. If I smiled to somebody, then that smile was came from my heart. Now, I don't mind people labeled me as snob if it is true, that's the real me. I want to be transparent in everything but one thing I am sure of is I am not a plastic one. I am a real person.

What about you? Plastic or Real?

A Sunset
Topic: My Thoughts
Every night the horizon lights up
Swirls of pink and orange fading to blue and purple

Few bother to look anymore
At a blessing that only comes once a day

Each sunset is different, no two exactly alike
Difference flows throughout while it is the only similarity

Over the ocean or through the sky scrapers
Out on the prairie or in an apartment

You can still see a piece
A piece of something, something never to return
A sunset

For the colors are shimmering
For a moment they stay
Only to disappear into change
Change just as beautiful as the last

This is why no matter where you go
One thing remains the same,
A difference in sunsets

In your very own sunset


Sunset, my most favorite time in the afternoon. Sometimes when we were vacant, we went to the seaside to wait and watch the sunset. At the end of the day when I want to take a rest, to witness the beauty of nature and ponder what this so called life to me had offered, then watching sunset is my first choice to do. The picture in the right side was taken during one of our visit in Scientific Center, I waited as the sun disappeared below the horizon to capture few shots from it, that was one of the best shots I captured that day.

Oh, I miss writing on this blog....I got busy this past few days reading and watching some news about what happen in Lebanon. I really felt sorry for them, all I can do is pray for their safety and victory from their evil enemy. Once, I did not able to control my emotion when I saw in the newspaper a body of a dead baby boy as big as my son Azhfaar trapped in the debris of the devastated building, I cried terribly since I can relate to his parents' feeling. Alhamdulillah, there's a ceasefire now. I know it's not totally safe yet but at least, the killings will be minimized now.

As of now, I am busy in learning more Thai recipes because I noticed that my hubby is very fond of it. I knew some but I want to learn more. When I'll found a new and delicious one, I'll try it and post it in my Recipe Blog.
