My life so far...

So many things happening that I'd like to blog but got no time....arrggghh... Feel so verbally constipated - all the thoughts in the head but no time to put it down in writing! Some things I may blog about if I have the time...
- My kids' room - as well as the other renovations of our "new" home. Actually we've moved in for more than 6 months, already nicely settled in. Everything's fine fortunately. Immediate neighbours are nice, no sign of aedes mosquitos (touch wood! this was hotspot area last year), place is quite private even though we are along common corridor.
- My new hobby - growing carnivorous pitcher plants! haha
- Cheryl's recent birthday celebration
- etc. etc...
Stay tuned...

Simple Pleasures

I'm back!

I wrote this entry simply because it's one of those simple things that make me smile. This is a picture of a small potted plant we have outside our flat. I've never really kept plants because I always think they attract all kinds of funny insects. We got this plant when I signed Cheryl up for a plant workshop at the Botanic Gardens during the recent June holidays. One of the activities was to do some planting in a pot and they could bring their plant back. Cheryl's pot had a combination of two different common household plants. I don't know what they're called. I've already removed all the decorations (some colourful pipe cleaners). We never really paid much attention to it, just water and spray it once in a while. But apparently it appears to be thriving quite well. Just about a week ago, something like a bud appeared. While waiting for this one to bloom, we actually discovered another tiny flower nearby that was also blooming. Then about 2 days ago, the bud bloomed. So now we have two tiny pretty red flowers! Actually makes me want to buy some more plants... (I'm looking for low-maintenance-but-with-nice-flowers kinda plants :oP)
