Hibiscus 'o' Bunga Raya



Pictures of a hisbiscus solely grown in a little pot blooming graciously in the garden of mine. I can't wait to show it to mum once she's back from her holiday, just in case the flower will 'fall asleep' before mum could see it. Anyway, hmm... I wonder what species does it belong too?????

Hibiscus or Rosemallow, a large genus of about 200-220 species of flowering plants (wow...too many) aka Queen of the Tropics

Kingdom Plantae
Division Magnoliophyta
Class Magnoliopsida
Order Malvales
Family Malvaceae
Genus Hibiscus

The leaves are alternate, simple, ovate to lanceolate, often with a toothe or lobed margin. The flowers are large, conspicuous, trumpet-shaped, with five or more petals, ranging from white to pink, red, purple or yellow, and from 4-15cm broad. The fruit is a dry five-lobed capsule, containing several seeds in each lobe, which are released when the capsule splits open at maturity.

Hibiscus rosa-senensis (Bunga Raya or "Chinese hibiscus") - the national flower of Malaysia (my country).
Hibiscus brackenridgei (Ma'o hau hele) - the state flower of Hawaii.
Hibiscus syriacus (Mugunghwa or "Rose of Sharon") - the national flower of South Korea.

Bunga Raya, official symbol of Malaysia.......
" The flower was chosen to be the naional flower in 1960s by Malaysia's first Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman.

The five-petaled Hibiscus rosa-sinenses was chosen above many varities of the hibiscus because it's the most symbolically relevant. The five petals of the Bunga Raya symbolise the Rukunegara (the Five Prinicples of Nationhood), while the colour red represents courage.

It is also believed that the flower fist arrived in Malaysia via trade from its original home in the Far East sometime before the 12th century. "

A legend of hibiscus in South Korea.....
" There once was a beautiful woman who had a natural talent for writing & singing lovely songs. The people of the village loved her because of her grace & beauty, but this woman had a husband who was blind. No matter, this woman cared deeply for her husband & loved him. There were many of rich & powerful men in other village who wished to have her as theirs but the woman refused their proposal, for she was strong-minded & sincere.

One day, the rich lord of this village came riding on the back of his horse to inspect the people of his land. As he marched through the village, he saw the beautiful woman of the village & immediately fell in love with her. He proposed his love to her & asked her to come & live with him, but again, she refused. No matter how many times he tried, she still refused his proposal. Finally, angered from her stubborness & her sincere, strong mind, the lord sent minions & kidnapped her. the lord again tried everything to please her but she refused & kept her sincerity Furious & angry, the lord finally executed her. The village took pity of this & took her body & buried it next to the house of where she & her blind husband used to live.

Brokenhearted, the blind husband & mourned of the loss of his wife & never left her grave. Months later, a beautifully sweet flower grew & grew around the grave of his beloved wife& his house. the flower is called the Rose of Sharon (mugunghwa).

Rose of Sharon means sincere heart or long lasting due to the fact that it blooms every year after year. "

LeeHom "Heroes of Earth" World Tour 2007

Date : 4th March 2007, Sunday
Speciality: Last day of CNY aka Chap Goh Meh & Lunar Valentine's Day
Venue : National Stadium (Outdoor), Bkt Jalil, KL
Time : 8pm
Price : RM353



Originally the concert was fixed on 3rd Mac at Stadium Merdeka, as stated on the ticket above but was moved to 4th Mac at National Stadium Bkt Jalil due to the plans of renovating the Stadium Merdeka in conjunction of the 50th Anniversary Merdeka Celebration. Press released by Galaxy - Concert's amendment.

Coincidently, the worth waiting day for most of LeeHom’s fans whom one of them is me, his concert falls on the last day of CNY, 4th Mac which also the day his fans celebrates Lunar V-Day with him. Wow, such a romantically memorable day & concert.

Such an awesome experience is truly unforgettable. How unforgettable?

4th Mac, Sun – Joey, her sister & I catch the 8:00a.m. bus heading to KL. Reaches KL almost noon & due to bumper crawling towards Puduraya, we got down along Jln Pudu & walk to Swiss Garden hotel instead of walking all the way back from bus station to hotel.

I really hope we could check-in immediately as we arrive at the reception. After usual check-in procedure & given the room number & key by receptionist, we head on to the elevator right away but before the elevator door could shut behind us, the same receptionist nervously call us to step out! 3 of us look at each other wondering ‘Watz up?’. The receptionist made a mistake by giving us the key to an unclean room! GoSh! So we were given welcome drinks each at the lounge while waiting for our rooms to be clean which took more than ½ hour still not ready because the floor maid went for their lunch! Hey, I haven’t taken anything yet but this welcome drink (which tasted like one of the medicine I had when I was young) since I woke up. No choice, all of us are hungry, we leave our luggage at the concierge & walks to Puduraya to hunt for food.

Puduraya station, crowded as usual but hardly any choice of food we could eat. We went across 2 streets, thought of McD near MyDin complex but full house! Walk further up another McD also the same, Nando’s, A&W,…...what else, all same situation but lucky enough Kenny Rogers still got space to accommodate 3 of us to dine in there.

After brunch, we head back to hotel really hoping the room is ready which should be ready. Thank goodness, we got our room & freshen up, getting ready for the big night, LeeHom’s concert at Bukit Jalil which located totally away from the hotel we are staying

We walk back to Puduraya to catch StarLRT from Plaza Rakyat to Bukit Jalil which is the second last station. We bought 2 ways ticket just in case & cost us only RM3.80 each.

It’s way too early when we reach Bukit Jalil but first thing to be done when we reach is to collect out tickets & we face difficulties in looking for Galaxy ticket counter moreover in such hot weather, foot aching, sweating & stickiness all over body. No signage of ticket counter by Galaxy is something they should feel embarrassed & I can’t deny the claims of Galaxy staff being impolite. Honestly when we couldn't find any sign of the counter, are so worry that we can't get out tickets. Moreover, it's Sunday we can't expect anyone answering the phone in Galaxy office.

After searching high-low, following our instinct & asking around, we manage to fins the ticket counter & get our tickets. It’s still after collecting our tickets. Aimless & nothing to do, we stand under the trees to get some shade opposite the entrance. We are so excited and counting time, hours to enter to the stadium. I’m so excited that I suggest we start lining up although it’s number seated ticket I’m just excited. As time keeps ticking, the queue gets longer & longer whereas the sky gets slightly darker. Darker in the sense of not night & the moon & stars are out. It’s because it’s gona rain anytime.

It’s raining, unluckily no umbrella or raincoat nor shade, “rain keeps falling on our head”. Lucky enough it’s not raining like cats & dogs however it still manage to wet the ground. Fans screaming on & off at the entrance, demanding to enter the stadium soon cos at least we can get some shade in there.

The RELA & Galaxy staff ready in their position & as more raindrops falling down, fans starts to get more heated up & it’s also time the fans are allowed to enter the stadium already. Fans run like nobody’s business, looking up for directions to their seats location whereas 3 of us walk slowly like nobody’s business looking around the stalls, get ourselves some souvenirs & food to ease our hunger. But when we got ourselves seated, hey the stage is so much nearer than my past experience & also lucky enough the rain stops too.

The screen on stage is playing some entertainment news & also definitely LeeHom’s ad. Fans scream whenever there’s him, his songs, & even when the lights starts to dim towards to start of the concert!! That’s really crazy fanatic fans. Did I scream? Well a little, to some of it. Hey, it's fun, one of the way to show our support to LeeHom & also to give build up his spirit while preparing at the back stage. Is there any backstage? I will rather say bottom stage.

I try my very best to snap as much picture as I can by using such an economical Canon camera. Right form the beginning of the conert till the end of it.Besides that, I try to enjoy myself in this concert too.

Check out what the news had to say about the concert…
Rousing show:Wang LeeHom in concert
