Yesterday, we found pomegranate juice unexpectedly when we were walking along the beverages section in a local supermarket.  We were looking for some nutritious drink.  Liquid has become one of the most important substances in our diet nowadays. 

We were quite surprise because we didn’t expect that we can find it in Kuching’s supermarkets.  For those that have tried pomegranate before, you’ll know that you have to suck on each seed in order to taste the fruit itself.  So it makes me wonder how did they make pomegranate juice.  This bottled juice make our lives easier since we don’t have to take the juice from its seed bit by bit.  Eating the fruit really takes a lot of patience.

The container first caught my attention as the dragon fruit but when I took a close look, I found that it was the pomegranate juice instead.  We decided to buy and try it out. 

Its juice is crystal red in colour.  When I first opened it, it smelled like rose syrup but the first taste of the juice confirmed that it was not rose syrup because there was pomegranate taste in it.  However, I feel that some water should be added to it before drinking because it’s a bit sweet although it is not in a concentrated liquid form.  It is also full of Vitamin C.

Although the price is quite high compared to other fruit juice, but it is worth the time you spend for eating the fruit.  Moreover, the vitamins are more concentrated this way and we won’t miss a single bit of them!

Pomegranate fruit.

“The pictures in your blog are very nice, which website did you get them from?”

?!? What ?!?

I faced this type of questions quite a few times, and every time I just explained that I took them all with camera except those mentioned. 

Two questions always come to my mind.  (1)  Why can’t I take those pictures? Why do I have to copy from others?  (2)  Those pictures are not perfect; from which point of view that makes them said the pictures are nice?

May be I do no look like a photographer because I am only carrying a normal camera instead of a SLR; May be there are too many nice pictures on the web, and my photos are just “similar” to them.  May be their definition of “nice pictures” is simpler than mine.

I prefer readers to critic on my photos so that I can have more ideas on how to take picture in a better way.  I do not have strong feelings on all the comments because some are just blindly praising, and some have different tastes, but I always think about it carefully.  What I want is to find the balance of a “common taste” and my own taste and style.

My brother questioned me that he has taken a lot of abstract picture, but what I have selected to put in “Light in the Night 4” are not the best one, there are other better picture.  What I can tell him is that there are too many similar pictures which I have put in the previous “Light in the Night” post.  Sorry for that.  I will reconsider and they may appear in the gallery section.

For the abstract pictures in “Light in the Night” series, I did not expect you to like them all, as long as there is one picture that you think it is nice, I know that at least we have some common taste.  It is too subjective to say that it is nice / acceptable or otherwise. 

Anyway, we hope you enjoy viewing the pictures in our blog.
