In the garden

I went back to my hometown just after the Poh Kong event. Wow! my daddy had clear a space at the back of our home. Since he has retired, so he has a lot of free time to decorate our home.

I was just taking some pictures after the rain while my daddy was doing the gardening.

Poh Kong Autumn/Winter Show

Poh Kong was having a fashion show at Penang recently. All of the jewellery in the night are all from Poh Kong Gallery.

It is a fashion show for Poh Kong exclusive guest, and the night name "Evening of Diamond Brilliance & Pearl Seductive". So, the fashion show is focus on the Diamonds and Pearls. It is also having jewellery with gems.

Schoeffel, pearl jewellery brand from Germany, is one of the focus in the night. The pearls are seductive and beautiful, especially the black pearl. Hmm, I wish I can have one necklace of it. Maybe next time can go to the Schoeffel Boutique at Pavillion to have a look... must bring boyfriend and ask him to buy for me.. haha.

Luca Carati, diamond jewellery brand from Italy, is the main focus in the night. The sparkling diamond with the combination of gold or white gold of the products attract the people's attention.

Sweet potato!

Yummy! Baked sweet potato is very delicious. The sweet potato is in orange colour, which is sweeter than the yellow colour.

When I was a Girl Guide in secondary school, sweet potato is one of my favorite in every camping. We would baked the sweet potato in the camp fire and eat it by hand. Sometimes, eating with hand will make the food taste better.

Hmm, this photo is taken when I was travelling to China. There are people selling the sweet potato at the roadside and they bake the sweet potato as seen in the picture. Yummy yummy, the sweet potato is really delicious! I bought some to eat in the bus, and guess what? I felt full when the bus reached our dinner place…. So I couldn’t eat much in that dinner and get scolded by my parents for eating so many sweet potatoes.

I’ve been curious that is a person will fart after eating sweet potato? Hmm, I didn’t fart after eating so many sweet potatoes. Maybe my digest system is different? Ha, who knows?

Tanjung Rhu

Tanjung Rhu, located in the north of Langkawi with the exclusive view of the Andaman Sea.

There are a few resorts in Tanjung Rhu providing luxurious holiday packages. It is about 20 minutes away from Kuah, town of Langkawi, so travelers could enjoy the natural lush garden.

I feel that it would be a laze and relax experience to stay in Tanjung Rhu. Have a drink at the beach in the evening would just perfect to ease the tiredness after a day of adventure in Langkawi.

Sunset!

Well, it is the sunset!

Can’t really remember where this sunset scene was taken. Probably was in one of the beach in Langkawi. I was been to Langkawi for too many times, it was like at least once in a year.

Sunrise is the one I always want to view, yet every time when I have the chance, I will be overslept. What a waste! That is why I can only manage to get a sunset view. But there will be a day… I’m sure will capture a sunrise view! (When will it be?)

So, do anyone like this yellowish “egg yolk”?

Flowers

I love flowers that stand alone in the green and make them outstanding than others. It might be because of their colours, or maybe of their shape?

I only like to capture the beauty of the flowers, but never study on them. So, don’t ask me what are the name of the flowers. I dunno!

Well it is just some flowers that I captured during my trips. I think they are like a little princess of the nature. Do you feel the same?

The Nutcracker by Dance Space

The Nutcracker Ballet is a story flows with dreamy romance which is the wonderful fairytale in Christmas season. The story told of mystical events that transpired during the Christmas season. The story was performed differently based on the choreographer, yet remaining the basic story plot.

The Nutcracker story is simple. Long ago a young girl named Clara receives a nutcracker doll from her mysterious uncle on Christmas Eve during a gala family party. This unusual gift magically transforms into a soldier prince. This handsome and mysterious stranger escorts Clara on an enchanting journey to the Kingdom of Sweets.

Dance Space was performing The Nutcracker at Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (KLPac), choreographed by Steve Goh, who received 4 awards in the 6th BOH Cameronian Art Awards in 2008. The music of the show was composed by the renowned music composer, Ng Chor Guan, who was actively involves in a variety of mediums.

Basically, The Nutcracker by Dance Space was an idea to involve all the dancers from beginners (kids) to the advance (adults). It is certainly the most suitable story as the audiences were impressed with the kids’ crowded act, who dressed as swee puppet, dirty mice, and china doll. With their cutie act, it enhanced the mood of fairytale.

The flow of the fantasy was created with the scenes of Sugar Plum Fairy dance, Umbrella dance by China doll, mystifying Arabian dance, spirited steps of Spanish dance and the rhythmic Russian dance. The colourful costumes were enhanceing the fantasy-filled journey of Clara and the Prince.

It was a delightful performance as the audiences enjoyed the whole story flow. Chew Zi Xin (Clara) and Chen Fun Yen (Nutcracker/Prince) performed very well and confidently with their pas de duex. It was amazed when Chen did pirouettes en dehors with 8 rotations.

The Nutcracker by Dance Space was performed in classical ballet. The performance less focused in the technique footwork, yet it was a performance of joyfulness which the flow of dance was the attraction.
