Have a prosperous Chinese New Year! Gong Xi! Gong Xi! 🐉🍍🍊🍍🐉 A bouquet of Elena rose lilies sitting in our living room during CNY. Elena is a cousin of the fame Stargazer lily. Its fragrance is intoxicating. It has the fragrance of musky floral & poop. Yep, as in 💩 Hehe From this angle, it also has a teeny-weeny resemblance to the pink magnolia which is another favorite of mine. A close-up of Elena. Do you notice it has triple frilly petals? Oh yeah! If I remember correctly, one stalk cost RM14 which was more than worth it because each stalk has 4-6 flowers. This bouquet contains 5 stalks. All these shots were taken under the morning light with my new DSLR. Pretty, ya? They sure are lilies of my heart 💜🩷💜 Hope you enjoy them!

My 2023

Che-Cheh — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 15:59:40 +0000

The triple turbo mode I experienced in December 2022 charged into 2023 and never stopped. In fact, it went on a quintuple mode throughout the year until nearly the end of 2023. In terms of emotional well-being, it was a dark year. This year, I cried the most times (not including when I was a baby la) and, then there were countless times when I wanted to cry but just couldn’t no matter how hard I tried. Because of my conflict(s), my teeth health is really goners. In other words, I embodied bad dental health due to conflicts according to GHK and modern diets as discovered by Dr Weston A Price. On the other hand, digestive issues are a really rare occurrence this year and so is panic attack. On the physical health front, I’m stronger. I think it’s all thanks to the animal fats that I’m putting in my body. Imagined what it would be like if I’m only consuming 5% of processed food (I don’t want to eliminate all because what’s life?). Financially, I had to replace my laptop in the first quarter of the year which it repaired last year. I splashed another round of water on […]

Of Twigs & Branches

Che-Cheh — Wed, 15 Nov 2023 09:16:06 +0000

I’ve been composting twigs and branches ever since I stepped into the composting world. I got to know about hügelkultur (go find out what it is as I won’t explain it here) recently and while I’m not able to utilize this technique in my garden due to space issues, it somehow sorta encouraged me. It encourages me to encourage you to compost twigs and branches as I think they are rather underutilized in the gardening-composting world. You might think that branches take a very long time to compost. That is only half true. If you cut ’em up, then surprisingly not. While I don’t have the exact timeline, I can tell you they do compost quite fast, say as fast as 3 weeks (size dependent). The key point is to cut them into smaller sizes to speed up the composting. Of twigs and branches. No, don’t discard them in the bin. Compost them! I’m sure the majority of gardening enthusiasts prune plants and trees. Don’t discard all the pruned parts unless there are issues with them (like diseases, bugs, etc). Once the twigs and branches (including leaves) are dried (leave it to nature), simply cut them into smaller sizes of […]

How To Save White Radish Seeds

Che-Cheh — Fri, 27 Oct 2023 10:18:14 +0000

I was never a fan of white radish or radish as a whole. I started growing white radish because I thought it would be wonderful to use something that I grow for making kimchi. Although white radish (slim & long), also called daikon radish isn’t the exact radish that the Koreans use to make kimchi, hey anything’s better than none. Korean radish (무 mu) is rounder and shorter. So, late last year, I bought a packet of white radish seeds at a hardware shop. I read that they grow easily and fast. True enough, they were really easy to grow and in 2½ months, I’d harvested thrice. See here, here and here. Circa early March this year, I missed my harvest timing for two of the white radishes. So, I let them bolt, that is allow them to go into flower production which then produces seeds. This is achieved by letting the white radish plant grow until it reaches maturity and into old age. When the plants go into seed production, they won’t produce vegs/fruits and flowers anymore. Tip: To prevent bolting, just pinch off the flowers at their first sign. This is my experience in a hot and humid […]

Nokia G21 – My 11th Handphone

Che-Cheh — Wed, 26 Apr 2023 12:03:52 +0000

Updated 15th November 2023. Before officially retiring my Nokia 6 late last year, I quickly went on a search for my next handphone, my 11th that is. Curious to know what happened to the Nokia 6? This is what happened. Frankly speaking, searching for my 11th handphone was a fairly easy task. I only had two brands in mind; Nokia and Samsung. That’s because I had good impressions of them, particularly Nokia (read my Nokia handphones stories). Then, it was to decide which model to buy. I narrowed it down to one model each from the two brands. I managed to get a good discount on the Samsung phone model that I was eyeing during the 2022 Black Friday sale (25th Nov) but I hold off since I still have mixed feelings. When the 12.12 sale was approaching, I finally decided I want the Nokia instead because I don’t think I can go through another Samsung bloatware-mare (my Samsung trauma is still very fresh despite a few years had passed). Yes, technology has advanced so it probably shouldn’t be a problem. Still, I was hesitant. Hello, Nokia G21! 👋👋👋 I bought the Nokia G21 on 12.12.2022. Guess, how much I […]
