New...

New Footpath...

Hmm...interesting that the footpath reaches the tree and then turns abruptly. It has been so long that I used the side gate....er....cannot remember the secret code.

New Neighbor....

There has been a man moving in and out. Last time I heard a woman, don't know if the woman was the housing agent or she lives there. Anyway, neighbor put a couch on his balcony....and he could not decide on where to put his flower vase....he put it up, then 1 hour later, he took it in, then this morning it was out again, and he put it on the floor. And he put an ikea cushion on his couch.
hmmm....if I were him, I'd worry about how much dust the couch and cushion is going to collect from the nearby construction.
Oh...he has an UGLY shoe rack outside of his door. It is REALLY UGLY!

orchids in the bathroom

This is the spider lily looking orchid...
I've placed it in my toilet....will give it a few days, and if plant is not happy, I will move it to the balcony.
Cost $30


This is another hanging one. There are some buds on it. The orchid is supposed to be sweet smelling.
Cost $25

This is another spider lily looking orchid.

Cost $15

The side gate....
And now they planted a tree in front of the side gate and took away the measly slabs of concrete.
And all the people have to squeeze past the gantry to get in.
Not everybody drives OK?

tiny crockroaches

After the complaint, after the fumigation, what's left are the babies.
There was a bunch of tiny croaches running around.
They are less than 2 mm big.
Cruuuuuuuush them nonetheless!

Crrrrrrush that crockroach...

There are now little crockroaches running in my kitchen! I was eating ice-cream off the tub and left the lid on the kitchen sink. When I was done, a tiny crockroach was having dessert as well. CRUSH.....I am getting very good at this.
They come up from the rubbish chutte.

Then a moth flew into my kitchen....
I went to grab my ntuc brand of insect spray.
1st spray.....the moth was not even dizzy.
2nd spray...
3rd spray....
in the end I took a kitchen towel and whack the insect....
smack.....it died!
Moral of the story: don't get ntuc brand insect spray; use mortene (mom advised)
you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.

neighbor's azilea plant

After figuring that the plant was not happy until it got some sunlight....neighbor decided to put the plant near to the stairwell. And lo and behold...it bloomed in time for chinese new year:)
