Our new garden

30th August 2010

We have been struck with good luck. A close friend of mine, Zahreen, told me that his father decided to give away a couple of old flower stands. I straight away took the offer and hired a pick up truck to transport the flower stands all the way from Berakas.

It took us about a week to beautify them. We painted it black and gold and slowly added flower pots, mostly courtesy of my mother-in-law. I have also recently bought some hanging pots and the end result is really beautiful.

In addition, we have also bought and planted some fruit saplings. What's left now is to find suitable places to plant them permanently.

Lesson well learned

28th August 2010

Sometimes it makes you wonder ~ does practice really make perfect?

Today, something strange and sudden happened. Never in a million years would I have thought that I would have such an experience.

Everyday (I repeat: everyday) when arriving home, I would park my car in reverse. In order to do that, I have to drive towards the pond adjacent to our home and then reverse the car. Unfortunately, I was in a hurry this morning when I arrived home at around 11 am and out of the blue, I find my car stopping a bit awkward.

Apparently I overdid it ~ I drove a bit further than the concrete driveway! My wife noticed as well as she was outside the home waiting for me to arrive. We were a bit shocked but thankfully everything is alright. I had to call in a towing service to assist with the car, and $50 flew away just like that!

I really learned my lesson!
