The above photo was snapped by me while on a short trip to Singapore. We visited Gardens by the Bay flower dome and I took the liberty to take these awesome orange orchids for posterity. I find it strange that they are nicknamed 'Duh's crown!' These orange orchids are genuine and carefully tended to with green fingers of the gardeners in the flower dome, a complete air-con building built of study glass where sunlight can penetrate through for photosynthesis - a process where plants make its own food out of oxygen, sunlight, and water. We need more greenery such as those planted in Singapore where there are no mountains except small Bukit Timah to run to in case of war! I just love the large repertoire of plants and flowers here. The flora and fauna make the ecosystem stable and sustainable.

Duh's Crown - A Pretty Orange Orchid

Sleek Lamborghini Marque
Above is vermillion or bright orange-red colored marque of Lamborghini, a sleek sports car on display as a dangling carrot of lucky draw prize for anyone who buys a condo in Penang. I forgot who the developer was but it was displayed next to Ideal Property, selling affordable homes like Havana 'a and Queen Residences. If you click on the right button of the top picture, you will see more details of the premier sports car. Though I love the look and its chic design, I am a little worried of those who won this car accidentally know their heads on the low roof of the car, that is typical in all sports car with a higher center of gravity to move fast and turn at corners.

Fine Dining at Affordable Price
Last night, the 3 of us, mom, spouse and myself had dinner at Coffee Signature - a restaurant for fine dining at an affordable price, or so as it was claimed. If you click on the right button in the middle of the picture, you will see the dishes we had: salmon with mango sauce, paired with asparagus and other veggies. My spouse had baked chicken with mushroom sauce topped with sliced Shitake mushrooms. Mom ordered the same dish as I did and the 3 of us have ginger lemon tea each. The ambiance was cozy with chandeliers and curtains embellishing the eatery. The owner was Dato Chew who used to open 8 Square Steamboat restaurant in Penang Times Square that was closed some time back since MBI wanted to use the space. 8 Square was nostalgic for me since my late dad used to love this place, absorbing the flower lights and kinetic lights, a beautiful view from his favorite table. Next month, will be dad's first death anniversary as he departed to be with Jesus on 17th December 2018 due to 5th cardiac arrest.
Now, mum is left and I want to make her life as pleasing as possible by bringing her out for dinners and giving her some allowance to spend. All women love shopping, don't they? Regardless of age.

Changed my Mind due to Family Objection
After discussing with my family about the landed terrace house, my family is strongly against it, as the bank interests alone cost half a million dollars if paid in 20 years. Hence, I asked for bank rejection letters in order to get back my earnest deposit for 10 Denai Pinang 16 which cost $1.75M and another at 2A Denai Pinang 8, Phase 1 of Azira. It is located opposite Quayside and Straits Quay. It is a 2.5 storeys terrace house with a big garden or greenery behind but the porch can only accommodate 2 small cars. The owner of the first house, Mr. Lim, was elated when I decided to buy and promptly bought a $60k house for his daughter in Singapore. Now he is short of cash and I don't know what to do with him. I have requested 2 loan rejection letters and will get back my earnest deposit. The second one was the owner of Converse, apparently downgrading to sustain his struggling business with 4 outlets in Prangin Mall, Gurney Plaza, and Queensbay Mall, and another in Butterworth.

Sunway Cassia's interior designing was awesome
I am contemplating buying a landed terrace house in Straits Quay, Tanjung Toking for 1.84 M after bargaining hard from 1.88 M. It is a 2.5 storeys high terrace house in a gated community in Phase 1. I also went house hunting in Sunway Cassia and IOI Stramaz Residences in Sungai Ara, but those places are a bit off for me since Sunway Cassia was facing a low-cost Malay apartment on the way to the gated guardhouse. Although the interior designing was superbly done and supposedly cost $250 k, the disadvantage was I saw a Malay vagabond hanging around the low-cost Malay apartment, which is a big no-no.

Feng Shui by Wikipedia
According to Wikipedia, Feng shui also known as Chinese geomancy, is pseudoscience originating from ancient China, which claims to use energy forces to harmonize individuals with their surrounding environment. The term feng shui literally translates as "wind-water" in English. This is a cultural shorthand taken from the passage of the now-lost Book of Burial recorded in Guo Pu's commentary: Feng shui is one of the Five Arts of Chinese Metaphysics, classified as physiognomy (observation of appearances through formulas and calculations). The feng shui practice discusses architecture in terms of "invisible forces" that bind the universe, earth, and humanity together, known as qi.
Historically, feng shui was widely used to orient buildings—often spiritually significant structures such as crystals, but also dwellings and other structures—in an auspicious manner. Depending on the particular style of feng shui being used, an auspicious site could be determined by reference to local features such as bodies of water, or stars or the compass.
