This is just one of the reasons why i have kids. I get to celebrate so many more joyous occasions all year round.

Kids love crackers, dont they all. I dont mind them eating as long as they dont do it in my carpeted room. Picking up those tiny bits from the carpet is hell. Even if i were to use a vacuum cleaner, i still dont like it when someone gives my kid a cracker without me knowing it.

These are my must-have items whenever i eat soft-boiled eggs, soy sauce and pepper. I like my eggs three quarter done. Not half boiled. Hates it when it’s runny. I like the yolk slightly firm, that still has a bite to it. That’s the way i like it best. I seldom take sugar. Irritates my throat. I’m sweet enough, dont need the sugar, lol.

These lovely maidens hail from China. Arent they beautiful dressed in traditional costumes?

A delicious and fulfilling bowl of curry noodle is what i want to eat right now. Complete with all the right garnishings. But then, it’s the curry soup that i’m particular about, not all those chicken slices or taupok. Curry happens to be my favorite hawker food of all. The sight of this picture is really making me drool. It was taken at Kopitiam. I’d better publish it now.

A scene from my kitchen window. I was washing the dishes at the sink when i spotted the cat atop the kindy’s rooftop . It woke up and ran off right after i snapped this pic.

It’s nice to look at green grass. And there’s no shortage of green at the backyard. Very soothing to the eyes. But i hate the weed that sprouts right after rain. The Sony T100 once again had no problem picking up the fine details on this patch of green. See how the tiny leaves stand out against the larger ones.

I’m not into gardening. This is the rake that i found at the backyard. All the more better to rake those forever-dropping leaves. I dont think i’ve ever touched this thing before, nor picked up a single dead leaf from the ground with my bare hands, lol. So much for living here for the past 7 years. I must try raking some leaves into a big heap one of these days. Then what am i to do with it? Turn it into compost??

This is Ginseng flowers. You’ve all seen the root, but i guess not this. These bulbs are actually very tiny. About 1mm in diameter each. This is what i drink in the morning to help me stay alert. Tastes just like the roots, minus the hefty pricetag. I am very pleased with this picture. Superb clarity at such close proximity.

I love these Lavender flowers. Bought them from the Tea Gallery. If you’re having trouble sleeping, you can steep them into tea and i guarantee you you’ll soon sleep like a baby. Works for me. Just dont use boiling hot water or you’ll cook them, lol. Or you can try wrapping them into a small hanky or muslin cloth ands place them inside your pillow. Hang them at theair-conditioner as a natural air-purifier. Has anti-bacterial properties too. Great for soothing cranky babies too.
