Yup, that's the same yellow Combi baby bouncy seat :) It had been in the family for 35 years and still stands strong!!

Macro Flowers Saturday #25

This is Pereskia Sacharosa. Locally known as Pokok Jarum Tujuh Bilah (Seven Needles Plant). The thorns are very sharp! Seriously long and sharp! It makes trimming very difficult as well. It's kinda herbal plant from the cactus family with medicinal properties. (The leaf, not the flower) It grows fast especially in tropical climate like ours in Malaysia.
I love the flowers of this plant. The colour is so bright and warm :) It was known that chewing the leaves can help in curing diabetes, high blood pressure and even cancer. How true, I never know.. I tried chewing it and it tasted OK. Some will infuse it in boiling water and drink it and some even put it in their salad! It tasted bitter a bit, but is edible, no worry :) Even my hamster love it :D

Enjoy your weekend, my friends..

Raw(e) PINK

This is my first time joining the challenge of Raw(e). This week the theme is PINK. Lovely colour, of course, although I'm not a pink person - there's no pink in my wardrobe at all :p The rule is very simple - No editing to the photo. I like the idea :) Here's my photo for the challenge-a pink hibiscus taken during my recent holiday in Kuching, Sarawak.
