Bed of Roses

Who said you must buy 2 dozens of roses? Why can't I plant and give you 2 dozens of roses? Yup 24 roses at this moment of posting!

If you use your heart to plant it, you see the result. I like roses :-)

Have great days and take good care.

Plants Portrait

Well, initially I would like to capture my red rose tree bought two years plus ago and the flowers are still "growing" unexpectedly :-) For guy, plant a rose is far more worth to just buy flowers for your partner. Added another yellow rose which I hardly resist to capture it as well. Now I have a retangular pot to enjoy two different colours of roses.

Also in conjunction with Penang Floral Exhibition, I totally shopped and took away 4 plants in one buy. And two lovely pots are my additional rewards with discounted price.

Red roses which already last for two years plus, my 2006 Christmas gift for my lovely wife.


Light yellow rose added in upon my wife specific request for long time. Hardly find a beautiful light yellow roses


Japanese roses - it is funny to see the flowers will only open whenever there is direct sun ray. Intended to capture a few times but failed - no sun ray :-) Interesting! Dedicate this to my eldest daughter, Ying.


Malapodium - just love to see something striking yellow colour in among green leaves. Dedicated for my son, Yang.


Dracena - checked with seller about this specific name. I have totally no idea plant name at all, still in learning stage. Bought to align with my department's organized green project.



The rest of the captures were from my department's green project plants. With little "studio-type" setup with warm lights, the end result is amazing to me.

Sunset Industry - Soya Sauce Factory in Penang

Old Brand


It was the sudden decision to write out and make photo-shooting on this sunset industry - soya sauce factory. It is very difficult to see this in Penang island anymore. All the huge special containers that make soya sauce are very traditional way. No machine, only manual. The factory has 70 years history. All the huge special containers were from China. Soya sauce making process rely on weather condition as well. If sunny day - the soya bean will have "sun-bath", otherwise the workers will cover the soya to avoid raining.



Larger space consumption is needed for this industry. One limitation - land purchase in Penang Island is sky-rocketing now though the market is not doing good. Comparing with mainland, the price has quite big differences.

I'm quite down to see the urbanization conflict.


Thanks to the aunty that allowed me and my friend to take some shots.

Dedicated Passion


Attitude - Never Give Up - I salute those to fight to stay on this sunset industry and retain the tradition. Machine may replace effectiveness but it may move away the possible traditional taste. Do you agree?


The Art of Making


Sticky Brand to glue - I kept on figuring out what the heck all these from distant. Until I only figure out it is the sticky brand and information to glue on bottle! LOL!~


Will this remind your old memory?


What I can do is to capture the moment and buy a bottle of top range soya sauce made from here. NO artificial flavour and chemical to make it "tahan" longer. I did little support from my heart. Thanks DC for inspiration on this photography decision. :-)

2009 Chinese New Year Reunion meals

For every Chinese in every part of the world, I assume they are pressing how most important to have annual reunion meal together with family members. This should be a tradition to carry on to remind ourselves, our children, grand children and great grand children how good we can enjoy meal together.

I personally enjoy reunion meals very very much with my family and in-law family. Thanks.
