Forever A New Chapter

Hova and Gardenia

The Gardenia blooms a petal at a time. its breath taking to see it bloom. Its so fragrant and beautiful at the same time.

The Gardenia fully bloom.

The Gardenia will starts to yellow than die. New shoots will start to grow. A new cycle begins.

Gek's Flowers

These flowers belongs to Gek. I just fell in love with it. It closes in the day time and blooms only in the night. I have no idea to what their names.

My little babies are what I call my plants. :) I believe in treating them with Tender Loving Care. Glad to know that Sulastri also share the same passion.

I do not have many. But I do treasure what little I have.

I never had green thumbs. This was the biggest mistake I made! I stupidly add fertilizer on THE LEAVES!!

自分の行動を思い出すと情けないよ。 ... when I think back, I feel pretty stupid.

私はなんと馬鹿だったんでしょう。... How stupid of me!

This is the Ficus Bonsai in its original stage. :(

My little collection of cactus plus a small bamboo plant and a new Ficus Bonsai in the back row.

Capsicum before.

Capsicum ready to be pluck!

The Kalanchoe finally died on me :(

Some of my plants ... from the right: Capsicum, Gardenia, Hova Orchid, Jasmine

Breakfast at Kopitiam (Sulastri)

Having breakfast at the Kopitiam is a rarity. The best time to watch a movie is to catch the first show .... which was what we did. So this is right before watching Tower Heist.
Thick creamy milky coffee, 2 half boiled eggs, Sekaya toast and French toast was the order of the day. After the movie we had Korean food. My apologies. I failed to take any photos.

Food and Language (Sulastri)

There are two main languages that you hear at my place - Japanese and English. It is now December and she already know a few Japanese words. I'm very impress. She is even able to greet the neighbour in Japanese.

Singapore is a cosmopolitan country. My mother is diabetic, has dementia among other complications. The food items that I do not have - Eggs, Oil, Salt. Our food are boil, grill or steam.

I am adventurous and always believe in trying things at least once. Now Sulastri is able to know the taste of milk, cheese and other foreign products. I love Japanese cuisine and now she is able to recognise some of them. She even tried to learn to eat with chopsticks!!

The cuisine that she has tried - French, Italian, Middle Eastern, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Mc Donald, Pizza Hut and a typical English Christmas menu.
