I'm up in the air

It is tough to capture people's expression, especially genuine, candid one. This is the most successful shot, so far. The laughters and joy are so real.. you'd feel equally happy just by watching them.

No green thumb

I've to admit I've no green thumb. My 'gardening' activities only revolve around watering a few potted plants every morning, always in a rush. I did not even notice that each of this plant's leaf has its own signature pattern in darker green - unique for each leaf; and that it has more leaves with holes than healthy ones; if not for this photo taking.

Travel diary

Happy with my purchase today - 2 travel diaries. At $2 each, they are packed with interesting photos, but slim and lightweight enough to be carried around. I usually bring one such notebook for jotting down things worth remembering while traveling.

Es teler 77

Had this bowl of es teler 77 at City Plaza. At $4, it's expensive, but at least the amount of coconut, jackfruit and avocado slices were decent enough.

What's for dinner today

A friend in Duri told me he was having soto mi for lunch. That's how I knew what's for dinner today. I just hope I won't post snapshots of food too often, although good food is definitely something I cherish. And oh, I had this bowl with a plate of tahu bacem. Heavenly.
