The Lucky Bamboo Tree ^?^

Just luv the bamboo tree behind there. That was the same bamboo tree which I did for IR effect on my previous post.
Di bawah ni ada cerita dongeng mengenai pokok buluh ni di Malaysia. Tak tau plak dlm Wikipedia ada cerita lagenda mengenai seorang lelaki, tidur di bawah pokok buluh, bila terjaga dari tidur je,… terus potong pokok buluh dan jumpa seorang perempuan dlm pokok buluh tu! Jumpa Puteri Buluh Betong agaknya. Ye ke? ^?^’
Some facts and very-merry-Myths-and-Legends-story about The Lucky Bamboo

Bamboo is the fastest-growing plant on Earth; it has been clocked surging skyward as fast as 121 cm (47.6 inches) in a 24-hour period, and can also reach maximal growth rate exceeding one meter (39 inches) per hour for short periods of time.”

“Several Asian cultures, including that of the Andaman Islands, believe that humanity emerged from a bamboo stem. In the Philippine creation myth, legend tells that the first man and the first woman each emerged from split bamboo stems on an island created after the battle of the elemental forces (Sky and Ocean). In Malaysian legends a similar story includes a man who dreams of a beautiful woman while sleeping under a bamboo plant; he wakes up and breaks the bamboo stem, discovering the woman inside. The Japanese folktale "Tale of the Bambo Cutter" (Taketori Monogatari) tells of a princess from the Moon emerging from a shining bamboo section. Hawaiian bamboo ('ohe) is a kinolau or body form of the Polynesian creator god Kane Milohai.”
