Heyhey!

Lots of random stuff:

V. fun drink. Mum made a huge batch of citrus-y (lime lemon orange/limonange?) aiyu jelly cubes. I was feeling pretty bored and i had this sudden brainwave. Y not add some tea to it? And the end result is this fantastic drink (not Heineken, i just grabbed the first cup in sight). Doesn't it look just sexy? Look at the shade of orange. Man, am such a genius.

Oho! Dumplings! Mum made loads of dumplings the other day and i was feeling pretty hungry so i microwaved some.

Yummy.. Ya think so? Let's look closer.

Dumplings with horrible, spotty and wrinkly skin! Geez! That is what happens when you leave dumplings too long in the microwave. They develop skin cancer.

Aaaand. They stick together.

Like superglue, it seems. :(

Mum's gonna be freakin' pissed when she sees this picture. And she's gonna nag me for not using the microwave steamer. I did consume the dumplings and they were, surprisingly, quite alright. Crispy, something like pot stickers. Not bad eh. ;)

I'm telling you. Low-maintenance plants fare extremely well in my garden. For instance, mum once planted this cactus in the garden and it grew and grew and grew, without ever needing any watering and fertilizing, until it became freakin' tall and got entwined with the fence and we had to break it off (yes break, it grew in segments).


Now mum recently acquired this fascinating flowering shrub thingy with adorable little orange flowers (and a few red here and there) which blossom during daylight and shrink at night. It actually blossoms at the hottest time of the day and still manages to remain alive, untainted and bright as ever.

Mum's roses, on the other hand... This looks like some Beauty-and-the-Beast petal-falling enchanted rose. Luminous, eh. Anyway. They died. In less than 2 weeks after initially arriving in pristine condition. Now what's left of them is this little stalk, couple of shriveled leaves and no flower.

Been watching some Desperate Housewives and there was this hilarious scene:





Ha. Gabrielle doesn't show the tiniest bit of sympathy for the handicapped, not even towards her blind husband. The scene where she asked him to eat the carrots was damn funny. "Just eat them. Carrots are good for your... [pause]... Just eat them."
