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.

:-)

Seeing reds in C.H :-)

I love strawberries...,

but how frustrating that the places that we went to didn't allow any picking .. :-(

Any pickings to be done at the counter...haha..

Different kinds of strawberry I managed to "pick"...hehehe..

and of course not complete without this :

and the local strawberry ice cream

Mr Google Image - mine already finished..hahaha

:-)

Cameron Highlands...finally!

Somehow Cameron Highlands always "eluded" me before, every time family members or friends went there I would missed out the treat...mmmmm...

So when deciding where to go last weekend, I suggested the place..hehehe..

First stop - the tea plantation :

We walked all the way down to the "waterfall"..in the middle of the afternoon..no wonder I fell ill when we came back from the trip

Stayed for a while for refreshments but I didn't have tea...hehehe.

[Update on my trip to Kuantan (posting here) : sad to say that my auntie passed away a week after..may she rest in peace..amiin.. Al-Fatihah]
