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.

Great and beautiful shots. The kueh looks almost like Thai sweet snack :-)
Beautiful abacus ( have just learned that it's called abacus in English ;-) I never saw the white one before. Looks lovely
The dog and the leaves are impressive too.
Enjoy looking at them all :-D
The kueh looks delicious, I'd love to try!
Ollie is so cute!!!
Love the colours on your great shots!
Have a good new week. ;-)
The kueh looks so good I wanted to bite into my computer monitor. OK. only kidding...but the kueh DOES look very tasty. :)
the first photo made me hungry. love the color and it does look yummy. love shredded coconut.
Oh my this makes me hungry. And this looks like "palitaw" in the Philippines. Yum yum!!

Lovely fresh shade of green in those leaves.
Can one have an abacus in just the one colour? That must be harder to work with.
A terrific series of shots. That first one looks delicious, and that's fantastic detail on the last one.
The details in the photo of the kueh are mouth-watering!
Juicy macro the first one!
All is very nice and have a good day!
I loved that first shot, then I saw Ollie - so cute! I don't like dog breath either.
That kueh is so tempting! It's very difficult to find such kueh here and I'm too lazy to make them as the sons don't like to eat them.
Such a cute puppy! But the snacks look oh so good! Cathy
great shots, your puppy is adorable
Love the fresh green of the plant... that is lacking around these parts!
Nice set of images yo have there. The kueh looks yummy.
Fantastic shots and I just love the cute doggie.
Nice eclectic collection of macros, Evelyn. I don't like dog's breath either, but he sure looks like a cutie pie! I used to see a lot of people use the abacus in China still in the 80s. Amazing to watch, that!
