Entry 33 : Kehidupan Senior



 Bulan puasa sebulan tidak keluar rumah, jadi semalam terasa nak makan air batu kacang sirap gula tebu. Lepas beli barang2 keperluan, pergi ke cafe untuk ABC, terjumpa grup senior ini. Mereka semua berumur 80+/90+. Seminggu beberapa kali mereka makan lunch bersama. Semua tinggal sendiri, suami dah pergi dulu. Pakai cantik2, makan2, cakap2 setiap minggu berjumpa. Kehidupan orang2 senior di sini macam best saja.

Haiku:

Even the seniors
gather for long lunch and chat
green sakura tree.

Entry 32: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

This flower is blossoming right now. It's called Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow. The flower starts as a deep purple bud, then as it opens up, it turns lighter purple. As the evening approaches, the flower turns pale purple, then the same flower turns white by night. The same flower turns from deep purple to white in just one day. Marvellous, don't you think? The smell is stronger than jasmine. The fragrant lingers throughout its blossom. Calming effect.

Haiku: 
Yesterday you came

Today you show your full dress

but gone tomorrow.
