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.
