Pasar Malam in Johor pelangi
Took leave and went shopping in JB.
Accidently found that there is a night market in Pelangi, it will be on from 5pm every Tuesday.
The location is near to Pelangi Leisure mall where the Giant Supermarket is, near Jalan Pingai.
What is available there? It is like old fashion fun fair , with a lot of very nice local food and cheap fruits.
I think old folks will like it. Plan to have your dinner there! After dinner, can go Giant to shop for cheap toilet paper. (Not that you will have stomachache!)

Dry Tulip
Got a few tulips and since these flowers are so expensive, I thought I can make it into dried flowers, like what we can do with roses.
No! we cant do that with tulips. They looked like salted vegetables!
