The Brietling jet team, made up of French ex-fighter pilots, with its aerobatics jet performance in seven L-39C Albatros jets at Subang Skypark Terminal Airport. Going up to altitude Roll over  Looping Completing a loop Fly by formation Inverted flight  Apache looping - looked almost like a collision Apache looping Synchronised duo Synchronised duo Last fly by Preparing for the split  Final split before flare off Flare off!! Huge turnout braved the scorching heat to watch the French aerobatic team. A solo performance by the Malaysia's own Krisakti team in an Extra 300 aircraft. We've no idea there's a Krisakti team performance later that afternoon too, otherwise we would have stayed back to watch it. It was a brilliant solo display but unfortunately, we were distracted by the Brietling team as their jets landed. It's an extra special day for our good friend, Lion who finally got his much ...

The magnificent Rain Tree is also known as the 5 o'clock Tree ( pokok pukul lima ). It can grow up to 25m in height with a canopy spreading to 40m wide and bears small pinkish white cluster of flowers throughout the year. The leaves are light-sensitive, so they will fold during rainy or cloudy weather as well as before sunset and open up again just after sunrise. That's how it got its name, Rain Tree or 5 o'clock Tree. This feature actually helps to retain more moisture for the tree by enabling more dew to settle when the leaves are folded. Ever heard of the artificial rain from the Rain Tree?? If you're under the tree and you feel a drizzle of water drops, blame cicadas, not the tree! Cicadas love big trees like the Rain Tree. When many cicadas congregate on warm days, they feed on the tree fluids and often urinate while doing so. This bug urine is called 'honey dew'. It feels like rain drops. Thus, the Rain Tree got its name. So don't be so s...

Come March, there's so much happenings in the city and we do not even need to go far.   A small exhibition on Japanese handmade wooden doll, called " Kokeshi " at the Petaling Jaya Museum until 25 April 2013.  We went to a cultural workshop organised by the Japanese Foundation KL along with the exhibition. There're origami sessions but we didn't manage to join, a demo on how to wear yukata and another demo on how to play with the traditional Japanese toys. We thought that 'toys' would better relate to kids in learning about other culture. Everything about the Japanese is so exquisite and artistic, whether it's the papers for origami, toys or yukata (ie a simplified version of the more exotic kimono ). You could not miss the Japanese way of 'folding', which you could see it in origami as well as in folding clothes. The art of 'folding' also influences their architecture and rituals of every day life.  If you do not know ...

I am spending quite a bit of time on food planning since the beginning of the year for my family of 5, including my 3 school-going children. You never realise how much time you spend on food preparation especially if you or someone you love has a food intolerance or allergy. Our guiding principles are to eat as much whole foods as possible and reduce (the next best thing cos we can't eliminate all) gluten intake (all our favourites:- pasta & noodle, bread, cakes, biscuits, snacks, sauces etc). So I was quite fascinated to come across my friend's pictures and principles in preparing food.  These real foods are prepared, cooked and tested by my friend, Liyin .  She's a unique designer, illustrator, photographer, traveler and blogger, hence the beautiful pictures. Instead of thinking of dishes and recipes and drawing out a marketing list, she buys whole foods according to colours and nutrients with no recipe in mind. Then, she just designs her own recipes acco...
