Happy Birthday


Birthdays are significant events, it is an anniversary, it marks the month a person was born and it also tells you how old you’ll be, it is kind of a life cycle event. We have three birthdays in the month of July what a coincidence that I, my hubby and my son Jonathan shared the same birthday month. At first I feel weird because all of our birthdays will be celebrated in one month but then as time goes by I found that it is more economical because I can choose a day when we will go out and celebrate three birthdays together that is the culminating point. Since Jonathan birthday is later, we will gather to celebrate it either by going to a nice and excellent restaurant and be ready to feast on a delicious spread of good food with good ambience and music.

Rambutan Fruit Tree

Last May when I visited my family home my favourite rambutan tree bear abundance of fruits. I was overwhelmed by the sight of all those fruit trees and I spend some time walking in the garden and soaking in the beautiful atmosphere. I did manage to pluck some fruit off the tree. I enjoyed myself immensely going from tree to tree and feel satisfied with my forage.

June's Birthday Cake With Butter Cream Icing

Oh yeah...Nobody remembers my birthday today. I just assumed that everyone is busy with their own affairs, not that it is any big deal but it will be nice if someone remember your birthday. I got an early message from my sister Veron wishing me a happy birthday, which was nice of her. Anyway I only came to realise that  it was my birthday when I saw her message and greeting and I thought of going to the cake shop and buy a cake but on second thought I better bake it myself since I have got all the things that were needed to bake a cake. I thus set out to bake a delicious butter cake. I piped butter cream icing onto it and it comes out just as I thought it would be, a cake that tasted delicious and looks like a space alien birthday cake, that was what my son Jonathan said after seeing the cake.

Glory Bower

Glory Bower Plant, I heard this plant name mentioned by my mum when we were younger. She had this plant planted in front of our house and I used to admire both its flower and its unique name. Imagine a plant with an attractive and arresting name as ‘Glory Bower’ or ‘Bleeding Glory Bower?’ If you observe closely you will see that in the centre of its flower there are about five red corollas which gained its name a bleeding heart. This is a tropical plant and it originates from Africa. If it is planted in the ground in the tropical zones, it can climb to a height of 15 feet like what you can see in the picture. This is a picture from my Condo garden. I have seen this plant flowered the whole year round.
