They Just Love Him More.

Wah has been burying the dogs’ poop beside our bamboos for about 2 weeks now. He has been burying near the newly planted ones, and decided to bury around these older ones today. Yeah that’s our all-natural fertiliser!

Speaking of which, the dogs just love following him everywhere. They can and will easily abandon me and run to him whenever he is out. Coco would still answer and turn back if I were to call her, but not Xiao Bi. I seriously think that this fat dog should take some time to figure out who has been the one feeding her everyday.

And this fella. Just couldn’t be any darker.

Pooch Green Saturday: Bamboo Shooting.

It’s only been a year but the bamboos in the yard have been growing from only three to at least ten (or twelve?) TWENTY of them. We found this little one pushing himself up two days ago.

Finally, A Little While.

Work is crazy. Life is hectic. I finally asked to reduce my workload and I’m glad that it was a good meeting. :) I still need to hang on until next weekend for a major event, and then I should have less tasks to work on. I like the nature of the job, in a way, but I also love my life and my own business with darl. Something to work harder on.

Despite the hot weather, the garden has been awesome – and since obviously I have nothing to show on my craft, I’m going to talk about my garden again. :P


I’ve spread some wheat berries and grown some wheat grass about 3-4 days ago. This thing is amazingly easy to grow!


Sweet basil. Bought this at Cold Storage again about a week ago. Transplanted to a bigger pot and it’s growing like nobody’s business. Cut off a few leaves and made myself a cup of basil tea this evening. Awesome. :)


The new bamboo shooting. I find this fella growing a little slower compared to the previous one. Perhaps it’s because of the hot weather.


And the lavender is finally blooming! It’s so slow, and so little, but oh-well, I was believing that it’s not going to bloom anyway. :)

**********

Xiao Bi went for her spaying operation last Friday. It was kinda sad to see her during the first day, when she was so sleepy, so tired, and her eyes were like sinking into the sockets. She recovered quite well though, and has been running around like her usual self since 2-3 days ago.


Her tummy area had to be shaved for the operation. I’m constantly checking her stitches, just in case this monkey jump too much or bite on it. Most likely we’ll have to bring her back to the vet to take away the stitches this Saturday.

News from the Garden.

Life is still busy. I got a little down and depressed today after some hectic work for the past few days, and decided to take a break. I’m very sure that I’ve missed something very important in life. Evil-y I sometimes enjoy that hectic part of life. Yeah, sometimes. :)

Anyway, here are some news from the garden.


The bamboo baby (the first one from right) shot up about a month ago and it’s now almost as tall as the original ones!


And another bamboo baby is ready to see the world too! See that small green thing in the middle? :) Apparently I took the wrong shot. This is NOT the bamboo baby. It’s some unknown plant. >.< But, but, another real bamboo baby is really shooting. :D


Mum passed some waste from the kitchen to grandma’s maid about a week ago, and 2 days after burying, some unknown species of plant/vege came out, again! @.@ You probably can’t see them clearly in the photo but they are there. Although mum swore that she took out all the seeds but mum, what are these? >.<


The pumpkin is now growing like nobody’s business. Only one of the pumpkin plants is growing so big. The rest must have been suffering from lack of nutrients because of it. Mum will be giving away one of them to her friend. The rest, I’ll probably need to take them away – killing them in other words. I’m really not good when it comes to this. I’m a weirdo, I know.


This is the official vege bed. All five of the okras are growing very well. Three of the unknown veges (most likely are Pak Choy and Choy Sum) are also doing good. The maid included two papaya trees there. Ya I know my garden is messy. LOL!


We realised that one of the plants that looks like pumpkin isn’t pumpkin after all. Dad said most likely it’s cucumber. So one evening I decided to move it to another side of the garden but with the heavy rain after that, it was so soaked and wet and looks like it’s almost dying. But then again, check out that piece of healthy leaf. It’s just so green that you know it’s not dying yet. This morning I noticed a few other leaves grew out too. I’m glad that it’s such a strong plant. :)


The lavender, on the other hand, still refuse to bloom after so many weeks. It hasn’t really been growing since the day I brought it back. Not sure why. We’ll see.

Both me and darl are starting to see our direction in life and business after the weekend at Pipit’s Wonderful Market. We have talked several times and are all set to work on it, just waiting for the right time for our own. :)

Trees And Greens.

We went to a nearby nursery yesterday, hoping to get a bunch of nice bamboos for the garden. For some reasons I’ve been thinking a lot about being green lately. I’ve started working in the garden, throwing seeds into the soil, and making compost. I’ve been watering the plants twice a day. I’m not so sure why, but I do know that doing these things that I used to not enjoy are making my life… better.

I read in the newspaper today on a small team/company somewhere in China who is also making similar banner bag that we have been doing. The only difference is, they’ve gained a certain recognition. This does make me a little sad. I’ve been working a lot developing our banner bags but some people are already being famous with it.

But I do admit that I haven’t been able to commit fully developing all our product lines. It’s a little too heavy and too much for my two little hands and a single body. Perhaps I should really reorganise my time and effort.

P/S: We did get a bunch of pretty bamboos yesterday. Planted in the garden when it’s still raining, with the help from grandma’s maid. She has been my best garden pal so far. :)
