Pretty Handkerchief

Handkerchiefs was once a must-have item for every lady but now the popularity has dwindled and the once popular pure cotton handkerchiefs are hard to find these days. There were also handkerchiefs for all occasions like a bridal or mourning handkerchiefs made of cotton or silk. I remember the time when mum bought us a box of pretty and lovely embroidered handkerchief. I was so excited to look at it, over and over again. Nowadays we have the disposable tissue paper, it may be more convenient but I think handkerchief is more economical to have. I recently came across a bunch of assorted colours handkerchiefs at a supermarket and I cannot resist the urge to purchase some and maybe keep it as a token of remembrance, though it is all made in China. I think it is an interesting hobby to start collecting handkerchiefs from around the world. I might do just that. Handkerchief can be personalized with your initial or name.

Money is the Root of all Evil

Here is another article written by Jonathan for his English Test. I think he expresses his opinion about money quite well. In no way would he wants to annoy people with his expressions or personal opinions about the said topic. I have enjoyed reading it myself.

Petunia Plant

 I spotted this awesome and beautiful deep blue petunia flower in the garden of my Condo and I really like it. I have a keen interest in the petunia plant because it comes in a multitude of colours and it can either creep lower or entwined as a trellis or plant it in a hanging basket and it will cascade down as it flowers. Petunias are annual flowering plants, it can be planted in a pot, a hanging basket or window boxes which will make a beautiful window display. Brilliant, I thought I got other pictures of petunia taken on our trip to Windsor and Edinburgh a few years back.

Breakfast

Breakfast is the first meal we had upon waking up and it has got to be a healthy and interesting kind of breakfast. I usually look forward to having my breakfast because I know on certain days I can have a choice to eat healthily or just gorge down on what my appetite calls. I have found out that it is better to start healthy with the first meal of the day than to regret later on in the day, because we still has got lunch and dinner ahead of us. Breakfast need not be a boring type of monotonous bread and butter, or endless bowls of cereal and muesli eek... It can be quite boring if that is what it’s going to be every day! Out there you can find so many interesting breakfast meals. It can be two pieces of warm pancake with delicious toppings like salsa and honey or a piece of irresistible cream carrot cake. I always look forward to having my breakfast meal because that is also the time which I will be meeting up with a friend or two to exchange news over breakfast.
