Spring Onion blossoms

When Typhoon Hato and Pakhar hit Hong Kong , Macau and South China recently , even though I live so far away over on Penang island , we can still feel the tail end of the effects as well . Hence , the weather here has dipped , the skies have poured and it's been considerably chilly over the weekend . 

And although I was kinda worried about the winds , this unexpectedly happened .

The bunch of spring onions which I had bought and left out on the table , with the roots dry , suddenly burst into life and bloomed . Notice the single star shaped six petal flower down there ?

It's never happened before !

Bird on a gas tank

I came upon the most unusual thing the other day in Bangkok .

This bird was sitting on top of some gas stoves and fidgeting about as if it were trying to figure out how to pull the plug out .

The apartment next door that beat a whole shopping complex

Each Christmas and Chinese New Year , I always look forward to the seeing this apartment block on Kelawei Road , all decked out for the festive season .

The white moth pays a visit

Living on Penang island, near the hills, makes it easier for insect and bird watching. Thus while most people have to go to specific parks to see things like stick insects, all I have to do is wait for the next surprise visitor to pop by.

This white moth is one such example. 

Yeah, that's my hand there.
