The Hajj is the pilgrimage to Mecca in Islam and is the fifth of the Five Pillars in Islam. Every able-bodied Muslim who can afford to do so is obliged to make the pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in his/her lifetime.

Floras of Brunei - Part 2
I don't know the 'official' or 'scientific' name of this plant. All I know is that the local name for it is "Misai Kucing" or "Cat's Whiskers", you can clearly see the resemblance. I heard this plant is used as a remedy for diabetes. I'm not sure how it works though.

I have a friend from overseas who said Brunei lacks architectural touch. I'm not really sure whether to agree with the statement or not, what say you?

A Pitcher plant is part of the unique flora collection of Brunei. I found one in our garden and took a picture of it. But I think its a bit over-exposed as I forgot to change the ISO on my cam, that's a silly mistake. Please let me know if you found more mistakes in the pic, suggestions are also welcome.

Life is like a good black and white photograph, there's black, there's white, and lots of shade in between.

Guide us the Straight Way. The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not of those who earned Your Anger, nor of those who went astray.
