Plotted Plants that bloom

Image
Just monday, I bot a pot of African violet when I went pass an old shop selling flowers. This old shop selling potted plants, it doesnt sell many varieties if plants but that African violet that I have looking for very long was there. I cant help myself but to get it back home. Today, I walked passed the same shop again and the owner is getting in more plants this time. I saw this Cyclamen plant, and it has a few varieties of Red, violet, pure white or white with a little dashing red at the end of the flower petal. I got the white with dashing red at the petal. The picture attached was not the one I got. I will take a picture of my plant once I got home. On top of them I got myself / my home another pot of African Violet but this time round was the species with smaller flower. Here, some writeout for anyone who are interested to get this plant. Cyclamen hederifolium Traits: Sun, Shade, Groundcover, Rockery, Container, Cheery and bright, with distinctive downward-facing flowers and a...

Are you my genetic father?

I just finished watching a show at the Discovery Home and Health. It was on human stories. This time the show was talking about how power DNA test was. 4 stories in the show that bring tears in my eyes and I couldnt help but trying to dry my eyes thru-out the show. 1st story - a young couple who has 2 sons. The hubby suspected that one or may be both of his son may not be his as his wife had a past relationship before that. Both of them decided to get the test for his son as he couldnt leave in doubts not knowing if they are his. Result was positive, both are his and the relief and joy that brot to the family and the couple could now living together with clear sky. 2nd story - a mid age woman has suspected that she may not be her father's daughter when she overheard her mother mentioning a one-night stand to her aunt over the phone. She always felt that she was different from her sibling. She had fairer skin, different color eyes and totally different character. She brot out to her...

Kids Room

We have finished setup the kid's room finally. The kids feel the room really belong to them now. Hopefully we made the right choice on the furniture. Infact, there was some hicups along the way. Anyway the biggest hicup was the aircon pipe constructed along the perimeter of the room. I dun think I can do much abt it which I have forsee after the aircon guy constructed it. I dun like it and I find it truely stupid but nothing much I can do. I can only blame ourselves for not planning the renovation well in the begining. (well, i feel that it was Law' fault for such a poor design but he just wun listen to me) We got the kids an IKEA KURA bed and a white wardrobe for their clothes. In order to create more spaces for the new furniture, we did some shifting of the bookshelves. Law just setup the wardrobe over the weekend, when he decided to continue to work on the bed, we couldnt find the instruction manual. I made a call to Ikea and they were very nice to assist me with it. Either ...

Mad World - Sang by Adam Lambert

A very talented Amercian Idol sang an oldie "Mad World" and bring the song to a hit with his own special way. Law and I was stuck with song. Mad World All around are me are familiar faces Worn out places, worn out faces Bright and early for the daily races Going nowhere, going nowhere And their tears are filling up their glasses No expression, no expression Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrows No tomorrow, no tomorrow And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I ever had I find it hard to tell you I find it hard to take When people run in circles It's a very very, Mad world, Mad world Children waiting for the day they feel good Happy birthday, happy birthday May they feel the way that every child should Sit and listen, sit and listen Went to school and I was very nervous No one knew me, no one knew me Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson Look right through me, look right through me And I find it kind of funny, ...

Jelly for Celebration

Image
"Mummy, teacher told us to bring healthy food." dear Janelle kept emphasising HEALTHY and I have to really crack my brain to see what I can buy or do to bring to school. I decided to make Jelly with fresh fruit topping for the kids to bring for the National Day celebration in school. Visited Phoon Huat to get the plastic cup with lid, so each kid get a cup and wun mess up the place. I went to get Honey dew, apple, red dragon fruit and champagne grape for the topping. Janelle helped me a little with the making of jelly as I want to keep the fruit fresh. I have to wake up as early as 5am to cut the fruit and pack them into each individual cup. Finally completed after 45 min of work. Finally I packed all the jelly into bag for the kids

National Day Songs

Do u still remembers the National Day celebration songs that we used to sing during the primary school times? I used to love them but as we grew older we dun really practise and sang those songs anymore and as years goes by the numbers of celebration songs has accumulated. Now the childcare is teaching the kids to sing the songs. They are still as catchy as before and Janelle and Julian knew almost all the songs. It really brot back fond memories to me but i couldnt recall some of the lyrics. I promised Janelle I will go and find out memorised them and sing with them again. National Songs - Count On Me Singapore We have a vision for tomorrow, just believe, just believe We have a goal for Singapore, we can achieve, we can achieve You and me, we'll do our part, stand together, heart to heart We're going to show the world what Singapore can be We can achieve, we can achieve There is something down the road that we can strive for We are told no dream's too bold that we can...
