Flame of the Forest Tree

Recently I went back to my hometown and I was really pleased to come across many types of trees, my favourite as from young was the Flame of the Forest tree. I remembered walking pass this big Flame of the Forest tree to the hospital where I worked every day. This particular tree always has bright blooms and it is striking orange red, when in bloom it is breathtakingly beautiful. This tree is deciduous and can grow very tall. The scientific name for it is, Delonix Regia. I can never get tired of looking at its flower and the tree.

Condominium Cafe

Wow, this month we have our Café at the ground floor of our Condominium refurbished with new furniture’s, I like the wooden table and the comfortable rattan chair that accompanied it. This Café is situated in a windy location and I like the fact that you sometimes can see little Squirrel running all over the concrete ledge while you sit there enjoying your food. It is surrounded by the beautiful lush garden. How I wish the Café have more finger foods to offer. Anyway, it is a nice place to relax if just to immerse yourself in the greenery of the garden.

My Sister's Garden

It’s good to know that my sister Josie has been keeping herself busy and occupied in her little garden, she recently sent me these pictures of her pineapple bearing fruit and she was so ecstatic about it. She started to plant a variety of ground orchid and she really knows what she wants in her garden. She also has avocado trees and it bears an abundance of fruits. She only tends her garden after she came home from work. How I wish I have got a plot of land as a garden because, like Josie I too like gardening, but then I have to be contented to only have container plant as I stay in a Condominium.

Cross Stitch Table Cloths

Cross stitch and crocheting have been my hobbies since young, I used to eagerly finish off a project and then I would give it as a gift to my family members. I have lost count of the craft that I did when one day my sister Josie called me up and told me that she has found some cross stitched table clothes I have made a few years back when I was still in nursing school. I was delighted and asked her to send me pictures of it. Looking back, I wonder why now it is so difficult for me to finish off a project unlike before, but I was grateful I had all these for keepsake.

Nostalgic Things

I have been cleaning my cupboards and Library when I came across some nostalgic booklets with fabulous presentation of pass products. I cannot help but feel drawn to the pictures. As I tenderly recollect those memories, it transported me to the time when all these things were the ‘in things’ and popular then. It was in the 70s and 80s. That era was so much different from now, because now it was all about technology, looking back things evolved and we have to move on with time.
