A little plane that flew by...

Just saw a little plane flew by Ampang, around 2.30-2.40pm. What caught my eyes was a bright orange light from the left wing. Thinking that maybe the right lights were off, I stared at it and realised that it was most likely the left engine was on fire! By the time I managed to get my camera, the plane had headed in a north-westerly to westerly direction. I managed to capture only the smoke plume and the tiny plane far away. Hopefully the plane and the people in the plane are okay.

Royal Floria 2015

The Royal Floria Putrajaya is still on until the 7th of June 2015. So two more days for those who had not see this event before. This years theme of Tapestry of Hues with lilies as the thematic flower was definitely much better than last year's sad attempt on Begonias.

Besides the usual beds and beds of Liliums and Hippeastrum lilies, there is a the Spring and Winter Garden, which requires an additional RM3 to get in. However, the comments from visitors were mixed, with some severely criticizing the lame attempt whilst others praised it as an added attraction for Floria.

So for those who had no plans for this weekend, why not drop by and give Floria 2015 a look.

Magic of the Night, Royal Floria 2015 and Penang Floral Fest 2015

It is a busy time of the month as there are a few events starting on this weekend. First of all, Magic of the Night will be held from 28th to 31st May at Putrajaya Marina (Precint 4). This event is free and showcases lighted, decorated boats as well as a fireworks show at the end of the parade. You can get a spot near the grandstand, or just find a cozy spot along the lake that faces the Putrajaya Marina (Pullman LakesideHotel) to enjoy the show. The show usually starts around 8.30ish and ends around 11.30pm.

Next is the Royal Floria Putrajaya 2015, at Anjung Floria, Putrajaya. This event will be held from 30th May till 7th June. The theme this year is Tapestry of Hues, featuring lilies. Entrance fees for Malaysian are RM1 for kids and RM 5 for adult, and RM5.00 and RM10 for foreign kid and adults respectively. There is also a Spring and Winter Garden showcase, which cost RM3 to enter.

In Penang, there is also a Floral Fest held at the Penang Botanical Garden, also running from 30th May till 7th June as well.

So those photo-snapping, selfie-junkies and plant-crazy people, don't miss out on these events.
