Close-ups in Malaysia

Zooming in to a Malaysian kueh – a sweet snack made of sago and covered with freshly grated coconut. Further back are a few different kuehs. The term kueh is what locals use to refer to Malaysian snacks.

I first saw the abacus used by Chinese traders when I was young. Then I saw less of them and more electronic calculators. But today, kids in Malaysia are attending Mathematics classes outside of the school curriculum, and using this tool in these classes.

Here’s a wiki page on abacus – it dates back a long long long time ago.

My brother’s dog, Ollie. So close that I can almost feel it’s breath. Yuck – I don’t like dog’s breath!

After the last photo, let’s have something more refreshing. Zooming in to papaya leaves.

Happy Macro Monday.
