Have a nice new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteI love to see the photos of Vanda hookeriana. I collect Vandas, but I have never seen this Vanda before. It is very beautiful, Veronica!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week ahead!
Those Indian sweets are so tempting, esp. the halwa. Have a great week ahead.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice flowers:) thanks for your sharing...
ReplyDeleteI love the Indian shop, tasty, sweet, yummy.
ReplyDeleteHello, Veronica
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful collection of photos. The Indian sweetmeats and shops look great. I have to look up Bintan on the map, it looks beautiful. The flowers are gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your post. Take care, have a great new week.
I am sure my doctor would approve of stir-fry Chinese kale.
ReplyDeleteThat Chinese vegetable dish seems good and healthy, Veronica :-)
ReplyDeleteI was interested in your chart showing the percentage of citizens population by ethnic group in your country. Thanks for sharing such interesting information!
I have never thought of about 7% Indians in Malaysia. An Indian journalist, Palki Sharma, sometimes wears the same cloths as I can see in your pictures.
I can follow her through Wion, an Indian news channel headquartered in New Delhi ... she speaks in English, that's why I can heard that Indian channel.

Have a nice week, Veronica!
Dearest Veronica,
ReplyDeleteAlways a joy to come here for reliving our fondest years of living on nearby Java.
Thanks for always sharing and explaining to your other readers that might never have experienced this exotic lifestyle.
Hugs,
Mariette
The pool shot at Bintan looks so inviting.
ReplyDeleteThe Indian shop looks like a nice shop to visit. Lovely photos, Veronica. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteall the flowers are beautiful - wonderful scenes
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos! Will check out that stir fry link.
ReplyDeleteFabulous photos, as always, it is all so colourful! Have a great week, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures. I think I would try all that food, it looks so good.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are most beautiful, but I came for the food. I always come for the food. Yummy.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and week, Veronica. ♥
Such wonderful photos and terrific looking food. I''m ready to set by that pool for a while.
ReplyDeleteWe actually have a little India near us as well. I think the shops there are a bit different than near you, though.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks lovely through your eyes (and camera) as always. I could be perfectly comfortable in a Kurta -- I hate buttons, zippers, snaps and stuff like that -- I would rather wear something colorful that I can just slip on. It would suit me perfectly!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos and as usual I concentrate on the food heheh!
ReplyDeleteHave a gallimaufreytastic week 👍
That was such a gorgeous view you captured in Bintan of the pool and ocean running together!
ReplyDeleteBellas flores y ricos manjares te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteHello Veronica,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and colourful photos, as always. The vegetable dish looks easy and tasty. I do love most vegetables. Have a good week.
Nice place Bintan!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to be front and center in one of those loungers in Bintan right by the water! Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteI could just manage a few of those Indian treats. Those are interesting figures about the Malaysia population.
ReplyDeleteLovely selection of photos as always!
ReplyDeleteGreat collection of photos... I like the clothing on the mannequins - it looks colorful yet cool
ReplyDeleteThe Orchids are fantastic and exotic - wonderful flowers! Thank you for your words to my Blog and many Greetings from Germany to you and your family
ReplyDeleteKirsi
Oh! Bintan Poolside looks beautiful! And Macro Flowers are always among my faves! AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteI love that last Kurta. The pink one is so pretty. I'm going to look them up now. I'm in love with those so much.
ReplyDeleteI love the photos - and i'm always amazec by the colorful clothing women from India wear. I see food I didn't even know existed when I visit here, lol. It looks good - that stir fry especially.
ReplyDeleteI would love to be on one of those poolside loungers away from the horrors of the world. The flowers on the poison vine are pretty, but the tendrils coming from them makes it look like poison dripping from them!
ReplyDeleteI always love your photo collages. So pretty! Those sweets look delicious. We are in SA, but my sister works for an Indian business and their sweets and especially cookies are always the best.
ReplyDeleteInteresting facts about Malaysian population.
Hope you had a good week so far.

A great and very colorful collection. Perfect, especially on this cold, grey day here. Thank you for the holiday.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers always look so beautiful and I did not know the proper name for that form of Indian dressing, so thank you for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteHope that your week is going well! The flood waters have gone down here so we are no longer flooded in which is awesome :)
Away From The Blue
Bintan looks like a beautiful and relaxing place.
ReplyDeleteA very beautiful collage of photos, I like the Vanda hookeriana.
I didn't know about the 3 ethnic groups in Malaysia.
Have a nice week.
I love your collections of photos

Oooo! Impressive your 'Gallimaufry'!
ReplyDeleteI sit on a lounge chair and admire the view and the colors of the food and flowers! Lovely!
Thank you, Veronica!
Happy WW and a beautiful Spring!
Beautiful
ReplyDeleteYou got some great pictures. I didn't know you could use Kale for Stir-Fry!! Learn something new every day. :)
ReplyDeletei like the dresses in the window particularly the blue aqua coloured one.
ReplyDelete...as I watch the snow falling outside my window, your beautiful images take me back to Maui. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNice orchid flowers 😁!
ReplyDeleteI had to look up the word gallimaufry, as I have never heard of it before. I do love your medley of lovely photos that have the appearance of nothing to do with each other. They are interesting, and the dresses in the window look like something I would consider wearing.
ReplyDeleteGosh, it looks like paradise. But I wouldn't want to get too close to that poison dart plant!
ReplyDeletethe colors, textures, tastes, sights ... so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis was yet another wonder series of food, plants and fashions, Veronica Lee. I have never tried Indian sweet treats, but the ones shown looked good. Have you tried them?
ReplyDeleteNow you've got me craving Indian sweet treats like gulab jamun!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful flowers and so nice colours! :)
ReplyDeleteVeronica - the poison arrow vine is a fascinating plant. Seems too lovely to be poisonous!!! I love kale, and my mouth is watering from seeing that dish!
ReplyDeletelovely photo of Bintan...
ReplyDeleteIndian sweetmeats look appealing...
