TEA, STRAWBERRY & BUTTERFLIES AT CAMERON HIGHLANDS

Image
Hello Netizens, Recently I had the opportunity to visit Cameron Highlands with my family, and spend a whole day away from the busy life of the city. I really enjoyed my short stay there, and I will miss the beautiful sceneries and cold weather of the highlands. The places that I have got to visit are Boh's tea factory & Farm, a Strawberry farm, the forest and the butterfly garden. I got to hike a little (for the first time), making me quite interested to go hiking. We will see what happens about that. I decided to make video, compiling all the places I have visited. It is a mini vlog of my trip to Cameron Highlands. ...

Hello Netizens,  I have always wanted to try reading literature from other parts of the world, unfortunately, despite my wants I only speak Arabic and English (and a little of French), which pushes me to read translated works to explore different cultures and its literature. This leads me to this novel, 'I Haven't Dreamed of Flying for a While' by Taichi Yamada. Beautiful name for a book. The title caught my eyes across so many books and I managed to see it even though it lied at the lower shelves. Title:  I Haven't Dreamed of Flying for a While Author:  Taichi Yamada Genre:   Fiction, Speculative fiction Synopsis:   After accident, illness and the loss of his job and marriage, 48-year-old Taura meets Mutsuko, setting his already derailed life even further off course. Their first encounter is, unseen, in a hospital. It later transpires that the mysterious Mutsuko is in her late sixties, but when they next meet she is in her forties. Rating: (2
