My sweet Jumbos tree
I spotted a Eugenia Jumbos tree near Eco Garden in Singapore Botanic Gardens. The floor are lying full of ripen fruits. It looks like a dropping bell at a glance.
Eugenia Jumbos has many common names; water apple, Malay apple and rose apple etc.
Eugenia Jumbos is native to Southeast Asia but naturalized in India.
The flesh is crunchy and watery, and the taste is sweet and fragrant. Some time you can find it in the Rojak food. Rojak is a kind of an Asia food that mixes with different kind of fruits, and stir with prawn paste and peanuts topping.
So next time if you happen to see this rosy cheek along the roadside, please greet him with a hello, because he is so shy that needs somebody to be more initiative than him.
Hello, my sweet Jumbos tree!

Movie Preview – Confession of Murder
It’s my honor to be invited by Omy Blog Club to this Korean thriller movie preview “Confession of Murder”.
Genre
Crime action
Synopsis
The story took a step back 17 years ago when an infamous serial killer took the life of 10 women. While the police had no clue to pin the killer down, a young, good-looking guy – Lee Du-seok stood up by publishing a book “Confession of Killer” and claimed that he was the murderer.
With explicit support of the social media and expiration of the 15-year statute of limitations, Lee Du-seok became a celebrity overnight and portrays himself in the upfront. The publicity leads to confrontations between the killer, Police Lieutenant Choi Hyeong-gu and the victims’ families.
That is how the race of confrontations and eye-popping action sequences begin….
Casts
Jeong Jae-yeon, 郑在咏 acted as a slobby detective (Choi Hyeong-gu) is a perfect task for him. A versatile actor like him portrays a tough guy and a dutiful son to his widowed mother. Combination of justice and humanity in this show is within his palm.
I love the eyes and the scheming smile of Park Shi-hu, 朴施厚. His good looks and taut build never fail to ogle the audience’s sight. His mysterious intention and appearance as a writer, Lee Du-seok exude his charm in this show and make viewers hooked on to discover more of this thriller.
Some scenes revealed
Du-seok attracts thousands of fans after his name was exposed. There is this scene in a temporary police lock-up while one of his fans got hold of his hands and is unwilling to let it go which later ended up in a hilarious chaos.
“Call the press, let’s put on a show too!” What a sidesplitting dialogue over the rescue stun scene!
“Should I show you who I really am?” The killer throws a question to lieutenant Choi after slitting his cheek.
Reviews
The rescue sequence seems dramatic but I don’t want to miss a single scene of it. While one victim’s family tries to capture Lee Du-seok, the chasing and rescue action flick between cars and ambulance is both serious and totally comedic. I believe this has to do with the style of Korean movie, not only a moviemaker but also a fun maker!
Sharp edges of the actors are flowing throughout the whole show. Conflicts, debate, emotion, forgiveness, justice are the elements to make up this exciting race. The cleverly twisted ending makes your dollar worth without further commentaries but sit back with a smile.
Find out more and confess about the truth behind the “Confession of Murder” on 14th March 2013.

A seclude path to heaven
I was so enthralled by this sloppy path next to the tomb wall of Fort Canning Hill. The fascination came from the tomb walls which were the collection of tombstones salvaged from the old Christian Cemetery. They were the pioneers from the western country in the 18th Century, one of them is George Coleman.
It is situated on both sides of the Fort Canning Centre. This is the back of the tombstones where it caught my eyes with the lovely afternoon beam.
Standing above the stairway and making guesses. Trying to inject the image of a holy land into my rocky mind! This could be the path where the most honorable contributors of the past saunter in and out daily, presenting us with the warmest and innocent smile.
Story about a white Samoyed
This lovely female white Samoyed named “Dou Dou” is a 1-year old abandoned by her owner. Her new owner, an old lady owns a little floral nursery along Pasir Ris. She took over the ownership of Dou Dou a week ago.
A week ago, a man came to her and asked her to adopt Dou Dou, she told me in a delightful tone. The man claimed that they just have a second child and he has another dog besides Dou Dou. He knew that the old lady is a trusting and loving person and so he decided to offer Dou Dou to her. With his words, I believed this man has been observing the old lady for a while and he’s left with no choice but to entrust the lovely pet to her.
The lady accepted Dou Dou from the bottom of her heart. For the first few days, Dou Dou refuse to eat as she must have been missing her previous owner and feeling homesick. She looses weight. With love of her new owner, she started to adapt to the new environment and walk around happily.
I managed to carry her in my arm. By my judgment, she is about 20kg! The weight of this little angel is the combination of the lady’s tender loving care and the patting of visitors. These help to bring back the smile on this white angel’s face.
Story about a black stray dog
I saw a black stray dog loitering opposite a pet farm along Pasir Ris. Shower came in a sudden on an ordinary Sunday afternoon. With no brolly in hand, I had no choice but to hide under a tree in order not to get drenched.
I felt I share the same fate with this black doggy. The only difference is he got a bigger shade, as he’s smart enough to hide himself under the lush dense bushes.
We both got doused while waiting for the rain to fade away. I thank my God as the shower slowly subsided. My little friend came out from the bush and look around suspiciously checking left and right making sure the rain has stopped and at the same time looking out for Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority (AVA) who might be stalking him.
Not long after, he started his new journey and I started mine…
This is a stray that I met opposite the pet farm where pups are bought home for love and pampering. For him, no one notices his existence. Would anyone bother to care for him and shower him with love forever…?
Green green grass of home
We all live in a house where floor is in leafy green, ceiling in vast blue.
Wall paintings are either sun or moon.
No walls, no wars and no rooms!
We are all lived in the green green grass of home.
We are tiny but we cater for many…
We are the stars of the Eco Galaxy.
We believe humbleness.
We believe simplicity.
We believe austerity.
We believe accommodation.
We believe, we are not the only frail one who swaying in the wind.
We believe we take equal share, whether the sun is big or small, cause we all lived on the same land!
Sculpture “Progressive Flow”
The sculpture “Progressive Flow” was cast on the ground outside One Marina Boulevard at the traffic junction between Raffles Quay and Marina Boulevard.
This significant art piece made by local sculptor Han Sai Por invites interactive, exploration and discovery.
Sculpture made in mess granite stone, consists of 6 blocks solid granite, weigh no less than 55 tons.
The Cultural Medallion Winner sculptor is one of the recognized Singapore foremost sculptors. She transformed the solid stone into curve and flow with a rhythmic grace.
There are voids and gaps between the blocks, it allows people to walk through in-between, indirectly encourage viewers to join and participate the spatial game.
The wave-like blocks are positioned for people to rest and seat while appreciating the graceful art piece.
Not easy to imagine how much hardship has the sculptor gone through while hewing the sculpture?
The rough texture of the stones surface signifies the coarseness of the sculptor palm.
Why are they so busy in the Eco Garden?
It takes approximately 3 minutes to reach the Eco Garden in Singapore Botanic Gardens from the Botanic Gardens MRT. It is a worthwhile trip for a visitor to have a glimpse of the celebrities and fun makers!
At the same time you must be wondering what are they doing and why are they so busy?
So let’s do a survey…
Some busy on sprouting their new generation.
Some busy on preparing ‘Singapore’s Beauty Contest’.
Some are still adjusting the costumes or trying to be a ‘copy duck’.
So busy to the extent forget about the leg.
Some busy on searching, with what?
Some busy on cleaning up the water…
Some busy on the ground…
Some busy on the road…
Some busy on the grass…
Some still busy on wandering and wondering…
Wondering why some just busy on watching…
