Dad's 71st Birthday Celebrations at Oscars

Celebrated my dad's 71st birthday at Oscars in Conrad. The food was so so but the service was good. However the restaurant was so noisy as first of all, it was an international buffet. They put us next to a very large group of adults with their noisy children. What really frustrated me was that, the adults did not even ask their kids to tone down alittle. The adults themselves were not showing a good example as they were crowding around the sushi/sashimi counter. They were taking the items faster than the chef could prepare them. They did not even move from the counter but instead sent the children back with their piled up plates. They only moved on when there were no more for others after them. So I'm thinking, its no wonder how their children are when they themselves have no consideration for others.

Renewed Interest In Novelty Phalaenopsis

Lately I'm not sure where or how my renewed interest in Novelty Phalaenopsis came about. It could be that I saw a good article in the last issue of the Malayan Orchid Review or that I've been seeing many of them on the market these days. Recently have been on a buying spree of the species as well as the hybrids that caught my eye. Namely Phalaenopsis cornu-cervi and its hybrids, Phalaenopsis pantherina and Phalaenopsis mannii. Here are some of my recent purchases...btw Phalaenopsis bellina and Phalaenopsis violacea are also on my list...hahahaha.
