When the Moon Looked Like the Sun

SKY DIARY When the Moon Looked Like the Sun A Full Moon at the Edge of Dawn Saturday, 2 May 2026 · 6:35 AM MYT Coordinates: 2.92452° N, 101.86077° E There are moments in the sky that make us look twice. On the morning of 2 May 2026 , at around 6:35 AM , I stepped out onto a high balcony and noticed an unusually warm light hanging above the distant horizon. For a moment, it looked almost like the Sun. The city below was still mostly dark. Streetlights continued to glow, buildings appeared as scattered points of light in the distance, and the sky remained deep and muted. Yet above the horizon was a bright golden orb, softened by thin layers of cloud. It was not the rising Sun. It was the full Moon approaching moonset at dawn . A Full Moon Morning What made the moment more interesting was the timing. The...

The Sweet Rose

A Rose That Never Needs a Vase Some desserts become memories long before the last bite. Captured during Autumn 2026 in Spain, this handcrafted rose-shaped gelato from Amorino transformed a simple café stop into one of the most memorable moments of the journey. Layered petal by petal, every cone reflects the artistry behind authentic Italian gelato and reminds us that beauty can be found in the smallest details. Founded in Paris in 2002 by two Italian entrepreneurs, Amorino is internationally recognised for its signature rose-shaped gelato. Rather than serving traditional scoops, each flavour is carefully layered petal by petal using a special spatula, allowing several flavours to bloom together in a single cone. The result is not only visually beautiful but also a celebration of authentic Italian gelato craftsmanship. Made with carefully selected ingredients and traditional Italian gelato-making techniques, Amorino has become recognised around the world for its rich t...

Finding Timeless Wonder on the Carousel

There are certain sights that never seem to lose their magic, no matter how many times we encounter them. For me, one of those is a beautifully crafted carousel. The moment I see its striped canopy, glowing lights, and ornate details, everything around it seems to fade away for a while. Located inside IOI Mall Puchong , this vintage-inspired carousel brings a touch of nostalgia into an otherwise modern shopping environment. Surrounded by contemporary shops and busy walkways, its classic circus-inspired design creates a dreamy atmosphere that feels almost untouched by time. A Family-Friendly Attraction At the time of my visit, each ride costs RM5 per child , while one accompanying parent may stand beside the child free of charge to provide assistance or reassurance throughout the experience. Before the carousel begins moving, the staff carefully help fasten each child's safety belt, making sure every young rider is secure and comf...

A Sweet Afternoon at Paris Baguette

Sometimes, the most memorable café visits happen unexpectedly. While walking through Puchong , I found myself drawn to the beautifully presented cakes displayed at Paris Baguette . They looked so inviting that I decided to step inside—and I’m glad I did. From the moment I approached the counter, the experience felt welcoming. During payment, I encountered a small issue with my bank card and had to take a moment to top up my e-wallet before completing the transaction. The cashier remained patient, kind, and reassuring throughout the process, never making me feel rushed despite the queue behind me. The warmth of the service continued after I was seated. One staff member personally helped clear the table and quickly brought over my tea, even though she could easily have asked someone else to assist. That thoughtful gesture left a lasting impression and reflected the team's genuine hospitality. Visiting with young children can sometimes be challenging...
