Garden window boxes

I love gardening very much. I try to spare my time everyday with gardening for at least half an hour a day. I admit it is not easy to discipline my self to keep the routine.

People who love gardening can’t be separated from plants and soil. This is why we can see some houses install window flower boxes surrounded their home. For some reason, it is because of limited grounded area for them to plant. For another reason, they like the garden window boxes to be there. So the windows look more cheerful when the flowers start blossom.

There are many options for the material of garden window boxes. We can choose from vinyl, wooden, fibreglass or metal. My mom said she likes the idea of having window boxes at our house. Maybe I will give her surprise for her birthday. :)

Orchid: what you don't know about it?

I've uploaded orchid images few times in this blog for desktop wallpapers download. I really like orchids and I can see the beauty and the uniqueness. I had a dream to have my own garden of orchids.

I was surfing on the Internet when suddenly found Orchid Recovery Center. I thought it is related to orchids but nothing to do with the flower. The Orchid is a gender-specific drug and alcohol rehab center for women. The Orchid Recovery Center for Women is special because of it’s the only gender specific rehab center for women in US. Expert believes women with drug and alcohol addiction are more effective to overcome addiction when other women surround them.

In Orchid Center Charity blog, there are lots of information can be found. The charity looks for other people contribution to support this community. You can see videos linked from the blog, showing testimonials from women and the family for how thankful they are with the Orchid. The Orchid Recovery Charities has helps lots of women to overcome their addiction.

Orchid for desktop wallpaper, and my batik painting

I'm bored actually. A bit tired because just finished rally at pasar malam, pasar pagi and pasar tani during weekend. Not much sales generated as the month is up to the end. This is the period when people start cutting their budget and waiting for the monthly wages payment. Besides, the wheater is not really good for outdoor activities.

Luckily there still some payment received for my stuff on ebay. I've been uploading the abaya, jubah and blouse for couple days ago. Now it's time for me to sit and relax, and waiting for sales and wathing some clips from YouTube.

I have second thought now about my listing for ebay Malaysia. Most of my customers has '0' feedback score. That's mean, they a really new to ebay. The problem is, some has made the purchase, but no payment received for more than a month. Sometimes they just ignore it. Now I start to feel give up to do marketing for ebay Malaysia. Previously, I quit from Lelong with worse problem.

Anyway, here are some images from my camera phone. If you want to download it, right click on the image, save as ....

Here is my latest artwork, which painted on viscose, using batik technique. I was thinking to sell it online but the quality is very bad. This is because of the long rest from doing batik chanting. I have to do more practice...



I'm so exhausted when rushing on pasar malam, doing ebay, blogging and manage Muhasabah Trading outlet at a time. I am going to Johor Bahru this weekend for blogging tutorial class; personal coaching from Rohaizad. I wish I can stay at home after this, manage my ebay and do blogging for my main income.

I'm getting old, and seriously I need more time to spend for my wife, Adam Harith and for the Almighty. I want more spare time.

WOW! Truly amazing!

All just around my house... So wonderful, the God creation...

Semangat yang hilang

Semangat Yang Hilang -XPDC


Tidak engkau seorang
Juang hingga titisan
Rempuh tak berharapan


Nanti aku di sana
Di ufuk pemikiran
Lalu menghayatinya

Kita laksanakan
Mata hati yang damai
Di sana kejujuran

( korus )
Semarak impian segunung harap dipulang
Usahlah diragukan keupayaan sendiri
Hati yang membara mengikutkan kata-kata
Jawapannya di sini
Semangat kita yang hilang
Oh kita cari pulang

( korus )
Semarak impian segunung harap dipulang
Usahlah diragukan keupayaan sendiri
Hati yang membara mengikutkan kata-kata
Jawapannya di sini
Semangat kita yang hilang
Oh kita cari pulang

Malu bertanya kawan
Sesat cari jalan pulang
Biar ia berkesan
Di lubuk hati terbenam

Nanti aku di sana
Di ufuk pemikiran
Lalu menghayatinya


Kita laksanakan
Mata hati yang damai
Di sana kejujuran

( korus )
Semarak impian segunung harap dipulang
Usahlah diragukan keupayaan sendiri
Hati yang membara mengikutkan kata-kata
Jawapannya di sini
Semangat kita yang hilang
Oh kita cari pulang

"Orchidaceae (or Orchid family) is the largest family of the flowering plants (Angiospermae). Its name is derived from the genus Orchis.
The Royal Botanical Gardens of Kew list 880 genera and nearly 22,000 accepted species, but the exact number is unknown (perhaps as many as 25,000) because of taxonomic disputes. The number of orchid species equals about four times the number of mammal species, or more than twice the number of bird species. It also encompasses about 6–11% of all seed plants. 

About 800 new orchid species are added each year. The largest genera are Bulbophyllum (2,000 species), Epidendrum (1,500 species), Dendrobium (1,400 species) and Pleurothallis (1,000 species). The family also includes the Vanilla (the genus of the vanilla plant), Orchis (type genus) and many commonly cultivated plants like some Phalaenopsis or Cattleya.
Moreover, since the introduction of tropical species in the 19th century, horticulturists have more than 100,000 hybrids and cultivars."

Finally I start my business at Pasar Pagi Bukit Gambir Muar as usual, after a very long break since raya (I've been busy with eBay and lelong.com.my recently). When I get there, I went to see my friend who selling orchid flowers (plants) and chat with him. Then I come out of idea to snap photos of the orchids, upload them to my picture gallery for my batik lukis reference.

The flowers are attractive, colorful and beautiful - another creation from Allah The Almighty.

If you like them, feel free to download free photos from my gallery. You can keep them as personal collection, or make a wallpaper to your desktop.

Cheers

Bed Of Roses lyrics
Bon Jovi

Sitting here wasted and wounded
At this old piano
Trying hard to capture
The moment this morning I don't know
'Cause a bottle of vodka
Is still lodged in my head
And some blonde gave me nightmares
I think that she's still in my bed
As I dream about movies
They won't make of me when I'm dead

With an ironclad fist I wake up and
French kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps
Its own beat in my head
While we're talking
About all of the things that I long to believe
About love and the truth and
What you mean to me
And the truth is baby you're all that I need

I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

Well I'm so far away
That each step that I take is on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd given each night
Just to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time
Or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes and whisper,
Baby blind love is true

I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died

Now as you close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me
To stand in her spotlight again
Tonite I won't be alone
But you know that don't
Mean I'm not lonely I've got nothing to prove
For it's you that I'd die to defend

I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
