New cover
Linda Lingard, my sweet publisher, requested me to add borders to My Mother’s Garden book. Hope she likes it!
You can see typical flowers planted in Malaysia for the cover, well, at least these flowers are/were in my mother’s garden for real. There’s Rangoon Creepers, Morning Glory, Heliconia, Hibiscus, Birds of Paradise, Money Plant and a yellow-flowered crawling plant which I do not know the name. Please help me with the name if you know because I need to add it up to the glossary page. Been looking up in the Internet but couldn’t find it.
Anyway, here’s a reminder for those who are interested to join in a Picture Book Contest organised by OneRedFlowerPress. I’ve put up a post about it: Do you have stories to tell. Do visit OneRedFlowerPress Contest for more details, k! Closing date for all entries is 30 April 2010.

canary creepers

hai kak emi~
anny,it does look like canary creepers but i dont think they are. not a common creeping plant in malaysia. i think i know which plant kak emi is reffering to..but oh my..i’ve forgot all the lessons i learnt in landscape class. no wonder i only get B for the subject.
(am trying to remember)
