Hand-Feeding the birds

This was my first time feeding birds and the feeling was indescribable..

At the Dandenong Ranges


The green-colored parrot


The red-headed one


Both were staring at each other


All in the family sharing food on the ground


So difficult to pick from this hand


Come, pick as u wish


Carefully supported


"Ain't I gorgeous?"

    At Jurong Bird Park here in Singapore, one can feed the parakeets at a small sum, they always welcome the treats but they sure are very noisy!

    I almost tried bird feeding at Jurong Bird Park in Singapore too. However, at the end could only watch my hubby do so...cos I got scared.

First Garden Night market

Image
Night market is here right in front of my shop every Friday. That means I have to park my car on the next lane behind my shop. I also make it a point of not taking a break in the evening. I will work throughout until the boss has taken his bath and dinner. Then only I will go back for sure. I love Fridays as I will go back earlier instead of the usual closing time. But last Friday, the boss gave me a last minute work. He wanted me to make 3 hampers which had to be delivered the following morning. I had no choice but to stay put till almost 9pm.

Japanese cake with chocolate and red beans filling and laksa But yesterday, I took both my girl and boy to Old Town White Coffee for our dinner. I had steamed garlic chicken rice which was scrumptious. I had to wait for 20mins for my rice to...

I drove them to my Punjabi friend's aunty's place in Kuala Kangsar.  Aunty made us the mango drinks which indeed quenched our thirst. I was amazed by the Punjabi bed. It's made of weaved plastic and ropes too. Since the auspicious day coincided with the birthday of the Sikh Guru, we were taken to the Sikh temple nearby. I was glad to be in such a religious and clean place. We were needed to be on barefoot and cladded with a head scarf. it's a first time experience for both my Chinese friend and myself. After the prayer with the chanting from the priest sitting in front, we were given a sweet dessert which I must receive it with both palms. Of course, we had to eat it. We adjourned to the dining hall and had our breakfast. The Punjabi tea was totally different from our usual tea. Since we had ...
