It's really beautiful and one of the most popular rose types. These are tall, long-stemmed roses ideal for cutting which that the roses you usually see at the florist. The flowers are usually borne singly, one to a stem, rather than in clusters. It blooms have a high-center point. In the garden they are often featured as single specimens or in a traditional rose cutting garden. Many varieties reveal a beautiful fragrance. Here are varities types of Hybrid tea: Memorial Day, ELLE and Love n' Peace. So now on, i hope you know what type of roses would you buy for your beloved person in the Valentine's Day! Hohoho!! =p

Water Cycle

I'm still remember about my presentation when i was form 5, my friend and I were acting about water cycle that undergo lot of processes. It was really fun as we made lot of caps by using manila-card to represent what type of water in that time. From lake, we were evaporated(water's cap), then we felt cold (snow's cap), n etc. We got highest mark for that proficiency test by getting full mark in each assessment. I felt so amaze with that mark.. Hahaha =). Now let me tell you more details about water cycle. This cycle is made up of a few main parts. First is evaporation. Evaporation is when the sun heats up water in rivers or lakes or the ocean and turns it into vapor or steam. The water vapor or steam leaves the river, lake or ocean and goes into the air. Then, water vapor in the air gets cold and changes back into liquid, forming clouds. This process is called condensation. After that, the water undergo precipitation. This process occurs when so much water has condensed that the air cannot hold it anymore. The clouds get heavy and water falls back to the earth in the form of rain, hail, sleet or snow. When water falls back to earth as precipitation, it may fall back in the oceans, lakes or rivers or it may end up on land. When it ends up on land, it will either soak into the earth and become part of the “ground water” that plants and animals use to drink or it may run over the soil and collect in the oceans, lakes or rivers where the cycle starts all over again.. Don't be shocked if i say that maybe some of your drinking water source is come from others' urine waste!! Hahaha!! =p

12 Letters Only?!


We got 26 letters in our nation language alphabets, same with English. From the letter A to Z we could combine them to form million kind of words and exactly easy to us to understand the words with lot of pronounsations. However, do you know that the Hawaiian Alphabet only contains 12 letters: a, e, i, o, u, h, k, l, m, n, p and w. Every word ends with a vowel. A glottal stop is also used, called an \'okina (meaning cutting, \'oki meaning cut and na meaning -ing). It used to be called an \'u\'ina (meaning snap). I wonder how there define and differentiate a particular thing with another by using that just a bit letter only. It's so amazing!. So maybe, we can learn the language easily and i'm sure i can master to write in Hawaiian Alphabet not more than 3 years!! (flamboyant phase) =p Here I've found some Hawaiian words. Let we learn together..

Vitamins Hang Out in Water and Fat


If you're like most kids, you've probably heard at least one parent say, "Don't forget to take your vitamin!", "Eat your salad because it's packed with vitamins!" But what exactly are vitamins? There are two types of vitamins which are fat soluble and water soluble. When you eat foods that contain fat-soluble vitamins, the vitamins are stored in the fat tissues in your body and in your liver. They wait around in your body fat until your body needs them. Fat-soluble vitamins are happy to stay stored in your body for awhile — some stay for a few days, some for up to 6 months! Then, when it's time for them to be used, special carriers in your body take them to where they're needed. Vitamins A, D, E, and K are all fat-soluble vitamins. Water-soluble vitamins are different. When you eat foods that have water-soluble vitamins, the vitamins don't get stored as much in your body. Instead, they travel through your bloodstream. Whatever your body doesn't use comes out when you urinate (pee). Does it waste? Hehehe =p So these kinds of vitamins need to be replaced often because they don't stick around! This crowd of vitamins includes vitamin C and the big group of B vitamins — B1 (thiamin), B2 (riboflavin), niacin, B6 (pyridoxine), folic acid, B12 (cobalamine), biotin, and pantothenic acid. So, we should take those vitamins to maintaining our healthy.

Spicy Goodness of Laksa


Noodles dishes are aplenty in Malaysia, served in a multitude of ways. One of the most popular is laksa, a spicy creation that comes in a few variations. Do you like to eat laksa? I like it much. Now, let we go through about this delicious kind of food. Assam (tamarind) laksa is the most widely available, and it is common knowledge that the best offering is found in Penang. This version f laksa involves noodles served in a spicy, sweet-sour brouth with generous chunk of fish meat. Garnishing include slivers of pineapple, cucumber, onion, and red chilli. A dallop of salty shrimp paste provides the finishing touch. the assam laksa is thus like a melting pot of various flavours that are typical of the Malaysian palate. It is usual served with lai fun, a thick white or transparent noodles, but is also enjoyed with thin, spaghetti-like yellow noodles. You can also find laksa Johor, nyonya laksa, curry laksa and Thai laksa at food stall and restaurants, each with its own distinct flavour and equally appetising. =)
