The Malaysian Flower Arrangement
Master cum Master of Chefs

Y3K Issue no.8 (Sept - Oct 2002)

It is easy to see the beauty of a rose, a cattleya or a cymbidium orchid and if you keep your eyes open, you will find that Mother Nature has no limit to her abundance of living beauty be it a leafless twig or the corolla of a fruit. Various art forms too provide their share of beauty. A figurine or a container can likewise ignite one's seeing eye to create master-pieces. Beauty is indeed inspirational yet often times it is latent and needs the right setting, idea or even mood - that sudden push - to perceive it and enhance it.

The above is being extracted from the preface of "Inspirations" written by Mr. Lim Bian Yam.
