Poem : The Rose

A single rose

Given by one to another

A single rose

Be it a friend, sister

A single rose

So good and pure

A single rose

May be the cure

A single rose

May dry the tears

A single rose

Wipes away the fears

A single rose

Represents many things

A single rose

To a memory, it clings

And if, by chance, that memory is bad

A single rose

Can seem so sad

But if, with luck, the memory is good

The rose stands proud

As it should.

Garden of Flowers

I admit to feeling stress lately with work...,

..it started early of the year and some time between end March and early April I guess I reached the height of it that I went to see a doctor as I was worried about my health.

Alhamdulillah it was not that bad...BP and sugar level ok..she said I just "need to take things easy and don't think too much". :-) ...,

but I really needed to get away for a while...and by chance my niece mentioned that strawberries at Cameron Highlands were in good season.

haha...that clinched it..I took 2 days leave and with my sister we drove up there.

But for this posting, I'm sharing the photos taken at the garden of flowers, located within the Agro Technology Park (MARDI) at Tanah Rata.

How soothing to see the lovely flowers....indeed a good therapy.

Have a lovely weekend to all my blogger friends.

Trip to Featherdale Wildlife Park

Third post for last year's Sydney trip series.

Featherdale Wildlife Park is an Australian zoo in Doonside, Sydney. We made the stopover here, about one hour away from the hostel.

Circular Quay

Continuing previous post (here) on our trip to Sydney...but I'm not going to write a long post, just sharing some photos that I took (and I have lots! hehehe...)

27th. April 2012

After we'd checked in and rested for a while, we took the bus to Circular Quay.

"Circular Quay is the hub of Sydney Harbour, situated at a small inlet called Sydney Cove, the founding site for Sydney and Australia."

We then decided to take a ferry ride...and ended up at Mosman Bay.

"The quay is a vibrant, bustling place with ferries leaving every few minutes to different parts of the harbour, including Manly, Watsons Bay, Mosman and Taronga Park Zoo."

Continued our sightseeing on foot after that.

"On the southern side of Circular Quay is a walkway that leads to the Sydney Opera House."
