• one bite you may get the bitter taste of chocolate

    another one, the sweet strawberry

    next bite, you feel the smoothness of vanilla

    followed by the tangy durian

    finalized by tender taste of avocado

    like what we experience in life, we’ll get one bite of every sweet and bitterness. it's the flavour of life...



Its’ an exclusive initiative that disappoints and encourages at the same time, but for the rich, who have always fantasized about owning a rare Sumatran Tiger prowling in their backyard, it’s a dream come true. Under a unique proposal, the Indonesian government would be allowing the rich to adopt this rare animal for 1 billion rupiah ($107,000). Deforestation and hunting has led to severe culling of the numbers and with just 400 big cats alive today, the government hopes that the initiative would protect these animals from near extinction. The tigers will remain state property and will be returned to the state if they were no longer wanted. Any cubs the tigers produce will be the property of the state. As the conservationists are left scorning at the strange proposal, orders have already started pouring in from the rich who in the deepest of their minds have yearned to be called the big shots; courageous and powerful as the Sumatran Tiger.

I pity them though, the tiger I mean. Especially since I've been assigned to work in Sumatra for awhile. I can see that they do struggle to survive with all the environment-unfriendly human activities in Sumatra. Illegal logging, oil company operation, people burning forest to create space for sawit plantation.
Now they want to make them available on sale, what kind of (so-called-rich) people are they?
And considering that this is encouraged by the government... What were they thinking? *shake head*
