Repotting

Finally got my hands dirty by doing some gardening. I repotted some plants today including this pot of money plant and this hole-ly plant (I dunno wats the name of the plant but it has holes on the leaves).

They took over the pots of plants that didn't survive. I hope they outlast their predecessors.

Shopping

Today I went to Vivo Tangs to shop for SB's birthday gift. Not only did I managed to buy the gift, I also bought myself a Porter bag. I tried the brown and the black but finally settled for the red.

I'm fortunate that there is a 20% discount with and additional 12% rebate. That probably induced me to buy the bag.

Zakka Tote

Continuing my sewing frenzy, I started sewing when the 7pm Korean drama started till the 10pm Korean drama ended. This is the end product of a 4 hour effort.

I kind of like the Zakka look. Simple, clean cut and manly.

Camo Tote

Yesterday went to buy more fabrics and bought a piece of hard canvas. I was so excited to see the possibility the canvas could be sewn into. I spent 4 hours to make this tote bag. It turned out quite well as I took measurement of Hermes and YSL tote bags.

Lunch in a plastic wrapper

This was my lunch today.

And it was very tasty. I threw in red dates, 枸杞子 and some chilli padi. The noodle was Q and the soup base tasty with a little herbal taste. Love the 麻辣肉骨茶 taste.

A cool raining morning

When was the last time I had breakfast in the late morning at a cafe, idling away in a cool raining morning?

Decades ago? I don't really remember.

I'm grateful that I'm able to read my book and sipping kopi, watching the rain fall from the sky violently and relentlessly.

A nice cool morning to sit outdoor and read my book.

The feeling, priceless!

Specky look

After I started wearing glasses, I find that I look a little weird without glasses on photo.

Is it a matter of getting accustomed to the specky look or is it that the more interesting frame hides the not so flattering eyes?

Baking for Sunny

Baking some cookies for Sunny now.

The first time I tried was a complete failure as I didn't follow closely to the recipe.

This time round, the cookies look good in the oven. I hope they taste as good as they look. Well, after all, they are filled with good stuff, like Manuka honey, flax seed and peanut butter.

A small floral carrier

This is a small carrier. I finally got the Denison correct and that's because I refer to one of the many sewing books I've bought.

The size is just right, not too big, not too small.

Going to give this to an aunt who said she loves this fabric very much.

Be thankful

SB said we should be thankful that we could still walk and able to walk the globe.

I agree with her totally. What's more important than health. If health is the most important thing in our life, shouldn't we put extra effort to enhance it? Shouldn't we make every effort not to destroy it?

While we are in the pink of health, let us also keep our loved ones in prayers for their well being as well.

I thank God for all his blessings and will continue to acknowledge that and give him praise for all the blessings.

Rest if you must

If you are tired, just take a rest.

To rest, is to go a longer distant.

Still the heart and get a clear picture where you want to head to.

Stop

Pause

And see with your heart.
