Our 1000th post!

Wow, its been that long since this blog was started by Ad. Now we're at our 1000th post! Incredible.

This blog has given me a place to narrate some bits of our lives together, a point of venting out some frustrations and most of all, an opportunity to share our joys & tears with some folks whom we do not get to meet up often.

This blog has also became the reference point for our pineapple tart recipe! (soon, it'll be time to dig it out again)

On this big milestone, let us share how our lives had grown outside our home. These amazing greenery has became such a big part of our lives. Each time BabyA (well, not so baby anymore) comes by, he'll remember to smell them on his way to the lift. Its almost like a comforting gesture to complete his tour of Godpa & Godma's house.


We were shocked as we unearthed our vintage money plant. Check out how the roots has coiled itself round and the round the base of the pot....

And guess what? It eventually grew OUT of the pot!

Amazing eh?

Never underestimate the power of non-moving living things. They'll always find a way to amaze you.

After seeing our vintage plant, let me show you the latest member to our "garden", its our lemon balm, courtesy of our dear fren J. I think I stole a stock back home some time last year. And today, it has taken over our mint (killing it eventually). Initially we thought that the mint was a run away plant, while this lemon balm was a "indoor" plant, so can share pot. But it grew and grew and grew.... till the point where I had to place some supporting structure for it to keep growing up wards. Can you spot it?



Last but not least, actually, now that the vintage money plant is gone. This pot would be the oldest surviving member of the garden. Our Rosemary! We bought it in a tiny pot from a farm near Sembawang about 2 years ago (or was it 3? hmm... cant remember). And today, its pretty strong on its own, often providing our herb when we prepare meat! Yummy!



Did you notice that its not really growing INside? ha ha ha...

That's how wrap our plants are. Pretty much like our lives too at times, you can wake up feeling great and you are greeted by a chain of sad news. Or when you are feeling displaced and shitty, you get pleasantly surprised! Very unpredictable.

Life's short, enjoy it!

Airport got check ah!

Even the layman taking the bus to the airport is now been checked!

Or has it always been this way? But when I take the cab, it arrives infront of the glass window of the arrival or departure halls and no one ever asks me to open my bag or check if I'm carrying anything suspicious...

Then why do they do it to buses or vehicles that enters the basement of the airport terminals?
If I cant bring forbidden stuff through the basement, I'll just do it via other ways.... not very smart leh....

got loopholes, must plug them!

Why my wrist feels like falling off my arms...

What? only 24pieces? I thought there was enough to last for 1year, the washing never seems to end... not only was I running out of space to hang them... but also out of energy... I din think that this washing part would that sooooo long, I figure at most 2hrs... but then again, I also figured I needed only 2hrs in the lab when I actually spent 7hrs! Ok, I think my timing is really screwed up! So if I'm late for an appt, dun yell.... I'm probably washing clothes or mopping or scrubbing or labbing....

hee hee

Lilies!

There's something pretty amazing about the Stardust Lilies. Not only do they add a touch of homeliness to the space, they also emit a very powerfully pleasant fragrance. Its something which we enjoy lots at home.

Then, upon closer inspection, I discovered something new for myself! ha ha ha

Do you realize that most of the unopened petals are usually in green? As it gets more water transported up to its petals, with more chemical reactions, it starts to turn rosy! So cute! I've always been blind to this, so its a new discovery for me! ha ha ha





Noticed the difference? These two are 1 day in time difference for their "opening" ceremony. hee hee
