Revival

As I think the 粉掌 cannot hold on until my mom's return from Beijing, Dave and I went to buy 2 packs of soil and 'replanted' the 粉掌. We cut out a lot of the dried and dying leaves, and the plant does look at lot healthier now. I suspect that I am not watering it enough, as I have been very cautious on the amount of water I give to the plant. I have been warned that more plants died from being water too much than from being deprived of water, so I always thought they don't need so much afterall... perhaps I was wrong. But the good thing is we managed to save and since then I have been a lot more generous with the water.

Thank you Mr M!

yesterday mr m did make an effort to leave work early and we had dinner at tai ping koon in causeway bay. the dinner included ox tongue spagetti in tomato sauce, fried beef with ho fun in 'swiss' sauce and roast pigeon! we finished dinner in about 30 mins, and our stomach began to bloat about an hour later... pity that we couldn't eat the famous souffle, as i cannot eat raw/semi-raw eggs at the moment.

happy birthday to me... happy birthday to me...

today marks my 29th year here on planet Earth. i decided to celebrate the day by going to the bakery to buy bread and newspaper at 7-11 at 8:30am in the morning. most certainly do not feel like cooking at all, but if mr m could not leave work early today (by early i mean 7pm) then dinner would be wun ton noodles at the nearby 茶餐廳.

in an attempt to do my part to make the air cleaner and fresher, i bought 2 potted plants (鐵樹 and 粉掌)about a month ago. both are perfectly healthy-looking and radiant plants. here are what they are like after a month under my care:














well evidently the 粉掌 is dying but i don't know how to save it until my mom comes back from beijing at the end of the month. hopefully it can hang on till then.... again this proves that beautiful things does not and cannot last. i'll stick with plants with just leaves or needles next time.
