Five-digit speed

 Where can you get such a high speed? The answer is, on an Internet speed test website, and by changing the unit from Mbps to kbps!

behind the scenes

The theme was actually fast. I initially thought of snapping the speedometer of a car, but unfortunately I have not been a passenger in any car in the past week. I also thought of a spinning washing machine, but I got the idea only after my weekly laundry was done!

But in the end, this looks quite good as well, so I'm still happy with the final photo.

Mixed feelings

A delivery arrived today when I was out. I knew that it might arrive today, and I had already decided that I would just ask them to toss it over the gate, since the package only contained some dried herbs to make herbal tea with.

I missed the call from the delivery people, but when I got home, the package was in the compound, just as I would have asked them to leave it.

I was glad that they had decided to deliver it this way...until I saw that the package had a "fragile" sticker on it.

I wasn't worried about my items, because I know that they cannot be hurt by the fall. But I was thinking, what if the items were really fragile? Would they have still tossed it in? In this case, probably by pressing lightly on the package, they could have figured out that it wasn't fragile...so maybe that was why they decided to throw it in.

Anyway, these are my herbs, safe and sound!

Blade of light

Last week's theme was light. 

Unfortunately I only thought of taking this photo early this morning...so I couldn't get a photo in a dark night, where the contrast between the light and the surroundings would be better!

In case you don't know what that light is, it is from the refrigerator!

A glowing green bug

Also yesterday, I spotted this bug on my porch.

It may not look like it in the photo, but the colour was a bright shining green! It made me think of electronic bugs from a sci-fi movie.

a closer look

I posted it on Facebook, and a Penangite friend said that they saw a lot of these when they were in school! Seems that there are less of them nowadays. If it's so rare, I should have caught it to keep as a pet! :P

Note: He said that it's a kind of Ischiopsopha bifasciata, in case anyone is interested.

A neighbour's blooming flowers

My neighbour has some lovely plants behind his house. His pandan grow so well! (as opposed to mine that already died :( )

Yesterday I took photos of his blooming flowers (I think they're lilies...but of course I'm not sure :P )

The focus is on the flowers in the middle...but look at the pandan on the right!

a heavy zoom

Unfortunately I do not know this neighbour at all...since it's the backs of our houses that share a road, we don't see each other outside (I hardly go out the back...). I often see him outside tending to the plants, but he has probably never seen me!

The not-a-kitten

In my previous post, I wrote about a family of cats. Today I got photos of the young cat I mentioned!

After I took these photos, it kept lolling about up and down the steps... it was so cute! I had to stop myself from grabbing my camera and taking a lot more useless photos...

Does its cuteness mean that it is a kitten after all? :P

A tale of cats, Vol. 2

Recently I posted pictures of a cat that is often behind the house.

This morning I saw a young cat (I think it's not small enough to be called a kitten), which I didn't manage to get a photo of, and (presumably) its mother sitting on the top of the stairs. And its father (again, I presume) showed up too!

The smaller cat was exactly the same colouring as the orange cat here, which is why I assume they are related.

As for why I say the orange one is the mother... it's simply because I haven't seen the white one pregnant. But who knows? It did disappear for a while...

And also, all these cats might not be related at all!
