Cactus

又为我的迷你仙人掌园（应该还没有多到可以用仙人掌‘园‘来形容）添增了3个新仙人掌。 星期二的整个下午，一直到晚上十点多，就花在仙人掌这里。

就是这三个小小的仙人掌。







用了将近半个小时的时间才选中的，原本是想选多一个。我当时是想，反正买三个，那随和而且人又好的老板娘会以10块钱卖给我，买4个，她也常常都卖我10块钱。现实的我当然是尽可能凑足4个才买，可是选了很久，就是没有看中喜欢的。天注定啦。。。

所以我就决定， 今天就不买4个，让老板娘赚多一点。 谁知道，当我要去付钱时，她说那3个仙人掌就送给我好了。 虽然有一点不好意思，可是当然还是接受了。可能是‘好心又好报’吧， 哈哈。不过，我那时还想，早知道，我就拿4个了。 XD

之后还花了不少时间拍了很多的照片。可是， 就觉得好像越拍就越丑。所以真正可以放上来见人的好像也没有几张。再多看了这几张放在这里的照片，就开始觉得这些照片好像也不怎么见得了人。 >_<
还蛮喜欢这一张。主角就是前面这一小支黄毛仙人掌。买的时候， 它的高度只有照片里的一半。距离买到现在，应该有一年了。就是喜欢买那些越小越好的仙人掌。觉得种仙人掌就是要看着它的变化。 买那一些已经被老板栽植的又美有大的放在家里，好像没有什么意思。


这3个可以是算是在我所拥有的仙人掌里比较‘重量级’的了。还记得，中间的那一棵， 买的时候， 它的大小就跟上一张黄毛小仙人掌差不多。


这是一棵很备受争议的仙人掌。很多亲戚邻居朋友看了都说：‘给它吓到一下’。 就因为它长得太像蛇了。买的时候，它的长度还不到现在的10分之1。没办法。 下个星期回家就要把它‘分尸’了。要不然，过年时， 每个人来到我家都被它‘吓到一下’，好像不太好。 XD

所谓‘分尸’， 就是要把它切成几个段， 放干一两个星期， 再一段一盆的种回去。我想，就这一条，至少可以在变成5棵， 放在5个不同的盆里。然后，这5盆新的仙人掌，一两年后又长这么高后，又再‘分尸’。 5棵变成25棵。 25棵变成125棵。 hm....想起来，如果以后想转行搞仙人掌, 好像还蛮好赚. 哈.

我要去旅行

Just helped parents to book the flight tickets to Macau. I already feel the urge of going for a trip.

Time to plan a trip 'seriously'~

Whenever I feel like to plan a trip, it is always just a thought which I soon forgetting:-

~A diving trip in Pulau Perhentian
~Taman Negara jungle trekking
~Kota Kinabalu hiking
~New Zealand backpacking
~Australia backpacking
~Japan backpacking (not gonna happen in short time I think)

Of course I think the diving trip in Perhentian is more probable if I aim to make a trip in 2010 XD. Time to plan, time to plan~~~

A Night without Electricity

It has been some times since the last blackout in Malaysia home. It was quite common last time when I was still young, but now, we rarely have a blackout already.

It was around 11pm+ and I was bathing when the light went out suddenly ha. It was pitch black.

Anyway, other than the many inconvenient caused by the lack of electricity, I realize I was rather enjoying the short moment of the blackout. There is one thing that I would definitely do when there is no electricity AT NIGHT. Blackout night = star gazing night~

When there is total zero light pollution in the town, it's when all the stars in the sky become more visible. Stars that are easily visible under normal night become brighter, and uncountable invisible stars (because of the town light), start to get visible.

It is January. Orion constellation appears just right above. With Sirius shining very brightly quite nearby. It looks like this ---> (picture below)


But of course, in Kota Tinggi, I never see the Orion as bright as it is shown in this picture. But everyone is able to recognize this constellation easily. They are very obvious in the sky.

Remind me of the moment in Australia, when I saw the faint tail of milky way. I was taking the midnight bus along the road which has no street light. That was the best sky I have ever seen. I stared at the sky for don't know how long XD. The sky looks something like this.

New year

Chinese New Year is coming soon, just one month away. Never realize it until today when neighbor gave us a box of pineapple tart, and I asked her why XD. Kind of looking forward to it, looking forward for the 'rather' long holiday, looking forward for the days that I can "don't" come back to Singapore for awhile.

Feeling the need to slack at home for couple of days. With just 2 days per week at home, I have a lot of 'home stuff' pending to do. Lots of stuff that I always plan to do at home, but always ended up wasting time doing some 'unexpected' stuff (eg, playing game or read novel whole day, old habit hard to change XD).

I realize I forever cleaning my bed room. My rate of messy-ing the room seems abit faster than the rate of cleaning it. And of course the many cactus that needs to be tended soon. One cactus transplant has already dead when I checked it yesterday. Not to mention the piano room and the TV room that I always want to tidy up, but never get to really do it ha.
