It was another sleepless night before I noticed that the sky has such a beautiful colour.  We were at the vihara very early in the morning.  Some of my friends there were still sleeping, some are preparing breakfast.  I sat in the garden on a set of stone table and chairs, looking at the sky slowly turned from dark blue to orange.  I quickly grabbed my camera.

Can you see an oval-shaped shadow above the watermark on the bottom right corner?  It is a satellite receiver of a house nearby.  Although it is not legal having such receiver in Malaysia, it is very popular in Kuching.  You can see it everywhere in Kuching.  Anyway it added a feature to my picture here.

The fence was too high which blocked my sight to the beautiful sky.  All these pictures were taken while I was standing on the stone chair.  I think my friend who was preparing the breakfast saw me, but she did not say anything.

This was a large piece of cloud with lines and spots on its body.  It can become anything as long as you can use your imagination.

I zoomed in a bit and found out that actually the power or telephone cables were actually clothed as well.  I hoped that its clothes will not affect its functionality where the climbers are climbing all over their body.

This is how a typical pole looks like at residential areas.  Do you think he is lonely?  No, he got friends around, and all of them are linked with each other.  At the time of this picture was taken, the sky was still not that bright, therefore the pole and the cables can only be seen as shadows in this picture which make them all appear in black colour.  I believe they were not in black colour actually.

Do not look down at climbers.  Although they are slim, they are actually the most motivated plants to reach top of the world.

I enjoy the morning.

The other day, we bought a pack of five apples. However, I had one and Colin had one so now there are only three left. Oh wait a minute, there are actually four left. Why? Let me show you why.

This is why! This one happens to be the sixth apple. Of course, it can’t be eaten. It is being made from the “net bag” that supermarkets used to pack the fruits. Maybe some of you have known how to make this fake apple but we would like to demonstrate to you how it is transformed.

First, empty the bag. It looks like a balloon that has ran out of air.

Then, fold the opening of the net upwards.

After that, tuck the opening nicely to form an inverted umbrella. Don’t worry, we are almost there!

Next, fold the inverted umbrella upwards. It’s time to determine the size of the fake apple. You can control the size by adjusting the inverted umbrella folding. Now you must continue to fold it upwards until the tip.

Ta-da! The one on the right is our latest fake apple collection. Actually, there are also green and orange “net bags”. The green ones are for green apples whereas the orange ones are usually for oranges. Hope to get some of them soon.

So, next time when you buy fruits that have these “net bags”, do think twice before you dispose them. They can be recycled to pack other things or they definitely look lovely as decorations!
