A friend of mine gave this bulb shade to me yesterday. Pretty, ain't it? I first saw this in one of Australia's night market and there they hung on the the branches of a tree.. lighting up the darkness of the night sky.

Back in July 2004, us posing with the vendor. I didn't buy one then, but somehow, it has come into my possession again. :) Seeing it brought back memories of the crisp, chilly air that winter night and the fun the few of us had.

Sigh, how I miss those days!
