Ash-Shakoor - Appreciation.
South East Asia known for tropical - hot and humid weather. Banana trees, Musa ( genus) are thriving in these weather all year round. We share and finding similar cultural, custom, cuisine within Asia region of diversity race and religion. So often, the local dish are common ground to each Asia country. I love Nasi Lemak, a breakfast dish consists of fragrant rice cooked in coconut milk and pandan (pandanus) leaf. The most favorite are the one wrap in banana leaf, that give away its wonderful fragrant sense. There are about 91 species of Musaceae, several are ornamental plants , such as Musa ornada, flowering banana.
Ash-Shakoor ( the most Appreciative) Syukur - grateful, appreciation - cherishing, valuing, regard. Banana's plants are among plants that useful beyond its iconic yellow fruits. Traveling our neighbour country - Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Singapore -- we share common aesthetic , the bananas plants are seen weaving cultural, custom and religion of almost every aspect in life of Se Asia.

Sharing - Kongsi
10.55 pm - Today the longest travel i've been on road , 274 km, 2 state, 3 district , 2 federal highway route. The adventure road heading to Sg Koyan from Ringlet ( Cameron Highlands). It's wide long road surround beautiful lush green of tropical jungle, but the route are often halt by landslide, fallen trees and recently ground settles. There's heavy rain, thunder and lighting. All in just one Federal Route 102, 79.1 km. As we back again the same route it's nearly sunset, we were welcoming by thick zero visibility fog. I've been thru the driving with the fog, but never as thick and dense as today. We pass thru, at the opening of another part are as clear as we saw the sky in it's pale yellow vermillion. Looking back the part at the fog, seem surreal , a cloud alone. Ahead of us , the colour of sunset - we are home.

'How
Did the rose
Ever open its heart
And give to this world
All its
Beauty?
It felt the encouragement of light
Against its Being.
Otherwise,
We all remain
Too
Frightened'

Moss & Lichen
'Moss is an integral feature in many Japanese gardens, and a plant that carries special meaning and significance. In Japanese culture, moss has represented concepts of beauty, simplicity, humility and refinement, as well as the aesthetics of wabi and sabi — transience and imperfection.
