Green Fingers Part 3

Hahaha.....knew it.....kiddo's had no heart to continue their digging effort on the patch outside our gate. Last week a landscaper looking for business saw the bare patch and offered his 'services' to us. Some plants, grass....and all that for a whopping RM270 (60 euro's).....what the heck, but the ladies of the house already agreed to let him do it. So far this dude has demanded and received an advance of RM50 (11 euro's) for the purchase of the BABY PLANTS and ofcourse it still ain't finished yet. I bet that he cashed in and ran away.

People are really so dishonest nowadays? I sure hope not....(cos that means in this case that I have to finish this dude's job, ugh)

Wonder of nature

Have to share this with you.....Malaysia is having it's annual rain season now. What you can expect on a daily basis? Every day sunshine, but also by the end of the afternoon, a serious dosage of rain, thunder storm. All this culminating in a serious traffic jam when peeps finish their work at 5 or 6pm. But on a plus side.....I managed to capture this rainbow, and have to say that these pictures doesn't do it justice. 'Cause in reality, the colours of the rainbow were of such a vibrant quality, that nearly every single driver and passenger craned their necks out to take a good look at this wonder of nature. At school they taught us that a rainbow displays 7 colours, but heck, I stopped counting at 3 :p

Green fingers Part 2

Et voila, as promised, see the result of the ladies green shopping spree. Have to admit that it certainly looks more appealing to the eye than yesterday's evening 'eye-sore'.

And from what I've heard,...this is just a start....I'd better retrieve the powertool and and be ready to install some hooks and flowerpots. "Bob the Builder, here I come!!!"

Green fingers part 1

My wife and aunty Lily (her aunt who currently lives with us) had a splendid idea today. They both decided that our carporch area doesn't look green enough and off they went to a 'green nursery' somewhere around Sungai Buloh.

Ofcourse they came back with a wide variety of pots and plants to be planted outside. And sure enough, the kids (Laetitia and cousin Hong) were drafted in to help out....kids, earth (mud), garden tools (makes me think of my own younger days) = recipe for a lot of fun, but I'm actually holding my breath now....how it will look like.

Never mind, I should give them the benefit of the doubt...it will eventually turn out alright...either a cultivated garden or a mini-jungle...take your pick.

Pictures were taken at 8 o'clock this evening, so what u see doesn't do my wife and aunty and the kids justice. I'll check tomorrow how it goes and will let you know :)
