Most ladies that I know of have boots. I also want. Peer pressure mah. But I must buy boots that is practical for a stay-at-home-mom like me. Something that I can wear almost EVERYDAY. If possible, a few times a day. After looking at the cash in my purse and considering the practically of the boots, I finally decided to buy a VERY cool boots, no other mommy has worn before. As far as I know of lar.
Tadaa!!! I have a Purple Boots!
Don’t laugh arh! These boots are very practical you know. It protects my legs from the grasses at the laundry area. No more scratching my feet until bleeding each time after hanging and picking up my bajus. No matter how I wash my legs after that, the itchiness won’t go away. It stays on my legs for a very long time until my wound healed. Bila gatal, garuk bukan main sedap lagi; sampeh melecet pun tak perasan. Then bila dah melecet, dapat garuk kat keliling the melecet area pun jadi. That is how itchy my legs are due to having contact with the grasses. I reckon that I am allergic to the grasses there.
When maid is around, itchiness also gone coz I don’t have to hang or collect my bajus. hehe. Now, the maid is gone for good. I better do something about it; if not, there goes my sexy, smooth legs.
Last Friday, hubby was around the whole day so we took this opportunity to get him make a bird nest for the Black Magpie out of a milk can.
The Black Magpie has been making nest in our mailbox for months. After their Babies grow up, they will lay eggs again, hatch, grow some enuf feathers then fly away and the cycle continues. I am not so sure whether it is from the same bird or not.
Here’s a slideshow of some picture I took last Friday. First time trying out the slideshows from Smilebox.
I have a story to tell. It is kind of a funny one coz it involved a coconut not a durian.
When I was small, my family has a durian tree that is being shared by 3 families. We have a mutual agreement whoever pick the durian first, it is theirs. It was a very fun running and chasing season when it comes to durian season especially for us, the children.
We do chase after a durian but will you chase if a coconut dropped from the tree? Definitely not us. I find it really funny when my neighbour chased after a coconut that has just dropped within our compound (well, like the durian tree, the coconut belongs to the family too).
Next time if the same happens, I will jokingly ask, “Does the coconut has legs that it can run away?”
We have two trees lesser at home now. MIL decided the 2 Jambu Air trees must go coz nobody has the time to wrap the fruits (too many of them), too many fallen leaves and they are also the cause of so many black ants coming into the house. Furthermore, her maid volunteered to plant some veggies on that small piece of land.
So, over the period of last week, hubby chopped down the trees. I think hubby took 3 days to chop down the trees; that is on the days when he can start work later in the day.
That side of the house is brighter now. Unfortunately, the 3 rooms on that side of the house has no more shade from the evening sun. Hot! Hot!
The only durian that was saved from being savoured by the squirrels dropped a day before MIL returned home. What a perfect timing right? Unfortunately the flesh was hard and not riped; we call it “Mangkau”. Have you heard this term before? There goes our one and only durian.
This year we are no so blessed with lots for durian. The only durian tree that has been faithfully giving us its fruit every year is producing only 4 durians. Surprisingly, there are new durian buds growing. I hope it will stay up there and grow big.
From the 4 durians, we are left with only 1. The other 3 have been eaten by the squirrels.
As I was typing this the 3rd ones has dropped to the grown too. Now we are left with only one.
Asked the Bangla who works at the farm to wrap it so that we can at least have one durian to enjoy.
I love the rain because it keeps me awake and fresh. Most of you would love to snuggle with your pillows and bolster when it is raining but not me. I can’t sleep when it is cold; my mind is too awake to shut down. I wonder whether I can fall asleep in front of the electric fireplace when it rains. Anyway, as a mother, I do not like the rain when I have lots of dirty clothes to wash. Oh ya! I just remember that my sister have a dryer which she did not use. Time to make full use of it.
Every 4 days I harvested watermelon from my farm in Farmville. Today, I see the real watermelon planted in my real farm being harvested. Take a look at God’s blessing.
This time around God really blessed the soil and the fruits. We have many huge watermelon in this harvest. Previously, when they planted the Sunmelon, the crops did not turn out as expected. These watermelons will be gone by tomorrow.
Here’s a photo of my 11mo baby enjoying the fresh picked red watermelon from the farm.
To the in-laws that are coming back this coming weekend, I will save some for you to enjoy ok. But PLEASE don’t eat naked like my baby ok.
Here on the internet, we are playing Farmville; planting all kinds of flowers, veggies and fruits and rearing all kinds of animals. Out there we have a real farm in the making.
Here’s a shot of my real life Farmville.
While waiting for the Banana tree to grow, we planted watermelon in between to maximize the usage of the land.
It takes 4 months before we can harvest these watermelons. In Farmville, it takes only 4 days. The longest crop to plant and the one I am planting coz I have no time to harvest everyday. No time, still can play Farmville eh? Must take time to relax mah and furthermore, my eldest daughter helps me with my farm when I am super busy. hehehe.After this visit to the farm, I think I might need the eczema cure coz my legs are super sensitive to the leaves and grasses there. Scratching like crazy now!
Thanks to the uncles who work on our land, we have ample supply of bird eye chili. The above was picked from 6 trees. I think all together there are 30 trees. When I was picking the chilies, I was wishing that they are Cherries instead of Chilies.
These uncles arh, plant the bird eye chili for fun one. They sold them only once and then lazy to pick them!
