"SUNSHINE AWARD" FROM " HEART" OF SOUTH AFRICA

SUNSHINE AWARD

Hi Heart, this is such a wonderful surprise from South Africa. Congrats to you too for getting the special ‘SUNSHINE AWARD’ from @ Kate As Of Late
Many thanks for remembering me with your kind thoughts, which you have manifested through this award. I love daisies. I have always liked your beautiful saying- “The fire in my Eyes” and I wish you a million success.
Here‘s HEART’s link: http://inspiratience.blogspot.com/

The fire in my Eyes- HEART is currently pursuing her BA in Fine Arts and I wish her all the very best in her studies. I first knew her as a blogger on poetry recitals. Later. she started writing on life’s issues. We made occasional visits to each others blogs and I believe that from now on, we will become even closer cyber friends and friends in the virtual world.


I am Wan Maznah from Malaysia and I write cookbooks since last year, hence why I started a foodie blog. With this, I can simply conclude that other hobbies have faded along the way, due to time constraint. I like and admire artsy stuff like food art, craftwork, photography, nature, flowers and anything cultured, like live orchestra and theater performances.

Above all, I love the unique and very adorable Fireflies (Luciferase, Luciferin, Lightning bugs) which are now well hidden far in the remote forests, away from destruction by human..I miss them so much. They used to come and visit me, the last one came alone about 4 years ago and died in my room.          flckr             
Heart, like the sunshine that brightens up our days and our
daisies, 
The Fireflies however, brightens up my hours of darkness…




Wish I can give out more, but the rule says10 names. Here is my list of ten (in no particular order), whom I would like to share this inspirational “SUNSHINE AWARD”. Best of luck to all of you….

    That's so sweet Wan (can I call you that instead of cookingvarieties?;) thank you for saying such nice things about me! I'm honoured:)

    You really do have a great, unique blog. I always learn something new when I visit and I'm proud to cross the border of South Africa through the internet to 'visit' your blog in Malaysia.

    Have a great day!

    Congratulations and thank you for including me in and sharing this beautiful flower.

    You touched on fireflies and at the very moment, those beautiful memories of my days living in a rubber plantations flashed so clearly in my mind.

    Our old colonial bungalow (Kedah) was surrounded with rubber trees, nights will normally be very very dark, except for the moonlight. However from a distance we will be able to see Flickering lights coming from thousands of fireflies.

    The wonders of mother nature..
    Cheers
