Previously, i had blogged about my sister's handmade accessories on her webbie. This time, i'm going to show all of you my father's handicrafts, a different type though. My dad doesn't have a blog, so i'll just have to post the photos on his behalf, then...hehe...
My home has a garden full of plants. Small, big, crawling ones, green ones, red ones, you name it. It is like a museum of artwork, very pleasant to look at. I am not able to show you everything, but only selective works. For any orders, errr... pls direct all mails to
A-2907, My Father's Road
Kuantan, Pahang.
There are several pots of cactuses in the garden. This one always makes me giddy and itch all over cos it sorts of resembles a caterpillar, and i hate caterpillars! There is one cactus which always grows a white flower once in a while and it blooms for only a day, so to be able to see it is good luck , i suppose.
A blurry photo of half of the garden. The swing and hammock-chair is a place for family meetings. Haha...we think better while we're swaying.
This is the collection of his 'Fu Gui' flowers. Most of them look like human beings being tangled after a strenuous session of advanced yoga. Notice the third one from the right? Looks like a giraffe, huh?
This looks like a lady with a big hairdo (someone should tell her big hairdos are soooo over) sitting daintily. There have been several reports in recent news about Singaporeans praying to monkey and elephant shapes protruding from tree barks around the island. I bet these rabid, pious people will go bonkers in my garden, not sure which one to pray to first.
This shot makes my father's garden looks like a Japanese Garden. With green smooth well-kept grass and massage stones. Where's the fountain, you ask? In the neighbour's house...hehe... See the little wooden house? The house is covered on the sides with a Barisan Nasional poster and there is a mini Malaysia Flag hanging on its side. Don't mess around with its occupant during the Elections, she is an ardent supporter of the current government.
Collection of bonsai plants. They look like miniature trees. Some of them have little white flowers and needs to be de-leafed once every....i dunno...year? Month?

I had wanted to post photographs of my dad's bougainivillea plants but those few photographs refuse to load here, they're shy as plants. My dad has one big bougainivillea plant which he had been working on, which bears flowers of three different colours! Can your dad do that? (wahaha, showing off).
Oooh...Cucur udang! I don't really like it 'cos i don't like prawns. It can be nice, but if the chilli is no good, then it's no good. So, the chilli is a very vital point...haha...
Karipap!!! Or in a more civilised English language : Currypuff. I still prefer the Malay name though. I prefer those Malay-made currypuffs than the Chinese-made ones. It's got more oooomph!
My mother likes to buy this chicken wing from Taman Gelora. The last time i was home, she also bought several for dinner. It is sold by a Malay lady at the Sunday pasar malam near my house =D
This photo doesn't really belong here, but since it was savoured along with the Raya dish, i'll include it anyways. It's my mom's Radish Soup. Waaa...my mom puts alot of goodness into her soup. I love them!
Beef and Chicken Rendang respectively. Looks pretty spicy, but i bet they really boost your appetite.
BBQ Stuffed Sotong. Waaa...it looks absolutely divine! 2 photos for you guys, top view and side view. Wow, can you imagine sinking your teeth into this elastic and juicy treat? *Drooling*
Suddenly found this photo stashed somewhere in my folder. I think this was from May Yee's farewell one year ago. I'm not a sushi lover, but i love the effect of this photo...what a nice array of colours and textures!
