Indian dosa

This are my favorite food, Indian vegetarian diet for my breakfast. Usually I go for dosa like a thin pancake. It goes along well with all the mushy types of chutney, very delicious and nutritious too. I always enjoy dosa with vegetable lentil stew. There are a varieties of dosa too and the accompaniments are endless whether you are a vegetarian or mean eater.

Taipei, Taiwan Trip Dec. 2016

I have just came back from a holiday trip to Taipei, Taiwan last December 2016. It was an enjoyable trip before the Christmas holiday. We rented a cab for a day to visit the Old town of Jiu feng and the surrounding areas. We ended the day at Shi lin night market where we had our dinner and later we took the MRT back to our Hotel in Ximending.

Farewell, Hiccup the pet dog

We feel the sadness and the pain of whatever was dear to us suddenly was not there anymore. That was how some of my family members felt when one of my brother's pet dog, Hiccup suddenly felt sick and took a turn for the worse-and after just a week or so, passed off. Even though it has been just a pet dog but we feel the loss because Hiccup was part of the family pet and we were so used to seeing him there all the time. we thought he had eaten some food which has been laced with poison from the neighbourhood, but whatever is was, he sure was in no mood for anything during those awful times. We will always remember Hiccup with fondness and appreciate the time when we all came home and he was there playing in the garden. Farewell Hiccup, all dogs go to heaven!

Some beautiful photographs sent by my sister Josie yesterday, as I can see, the Poinsettia plant has turned bright red. It is  a happy feeling to see it slowly taking up its colours, reminding me that Christmas is just around the corner.

Lush Garden

It is that time of the year again when I am feeling homesick because of the anticipation of going back home to my family place and being in a familiar surroundings with a nostalgic feel, friends, food and all. I am always eagerly awaiting to arrive home to see my mom and what has been done to the family garden. From the picture send to me by my sister, I missed those lush greenery and plants. I spend hours walking and admiring all the plants and fruit trees in the garden when I am home. Needless to say , I will also photograph all the plants that I came across.
