Updates!



Apologies for being quiet for so long. Just that, we've been busy! Yes.

Ok, so as not to bore people, I'm going to place some photos here and narrate a little of what we've been up to.

Here are some images from Fireflies Organic farm in Lim Chu Kang. We went there 2 weeks ago with a french journalist, Alex who is covering a story about the farming side of Singapore. Is there one? Yes, albeit small, there is a thriving community of about 150 plus farms in Lim chu Kang that do fish to veges to goats, mushrooms and even frogs.



The next day, we were busy working as station masters for a team building event we're doing with GUI and Gardenasia. It's green themed so we drew pretty eco-friendly messages on the ground with coloured chalk. It was a bloody hot day (as usual) so we were dripping buckets of sweat at the end of this. But it was nice and we took some photos.



A couple of days ago we were back at Bottle Tree Park and check it out! The ground nuts we sowed barely 2 months ago are all almost ready for harvest.

And finally, after suffering for so many months without a proper pillow, I bought myself one of those foam support pillows that my neck and shoulders craved so much. The scary thing was that the sales lady told me to air it out for a couple of days before using as it has a 'new pillow smell' due to it being in its plastic casing for too long. Bullshit! More like my pillow was dripped in friggin cancer-causing flame-retardant chemical and inhaling it too soon will lead to some kind of brain damage. I dont even know if airing it for a couple of days will help the situation. In anycase, Im putting it out here on our love little balcony garden which Bjorn has been working so so hard on, hoping that loving kindness meditation and the positive energy of the plants will have a good effect on the pillow. *cross my fingers*
