  This is the view that can be seen along the main road in front of Yan District Hospital  and many other places in Kedah. An eye catching view which makes us stop at sideway to enjoy the view. Since it's a school holiday season, my uncle and his family return. They keep talking about this "Spring" season in Kedah. In this area, they planted only white and Pink Tabebuia rosea but in some areas in Alor Setar, we can see these trees with white, red and yellow flowers.   Tabebuia rosea   A popular street tree in tropical cities because of its multi-annular masses of light pink flowers and modest size. The roots are not especially destructive for roads and sidewalks. It is the state tree of Cojedes , Venezuela . This tree is often seen in Neotropical cities, where it is often planted in parks and gardens. In the rainy season it offers great shade and in the dry season abundant flowers.   Blossoming flowers        Falling flowers on the sideway       When taking all thes

   It's school holiday season again. The best time to have a wedding ceremony.  It's a busy week for me and family members since one of my family's member having their wedding on March 16 (Monday). A Malay's Kampung style wedding ceremony where villagers and family's members work together to cook and prepare anything required in other to make sure the ceremony going smooth as planned. Some people may feel it's weird to have a wedding ceremony on weekday since most people are working and of course it's hard for them to find time to attend the wedding ceremony. But, don't forget, this is a Kampung (village) area. Most people around  this place are farmers and fishermen and some run their own businesses.        Malays really love bright colors for their formal clothing. Once we had arrived, we were  greeted by our many relatives clad in colorful Malay attires. Some of them have not meet each other for a long period and this ceremony gets them together.
