Gardening Kit

With a huge Lawn comes heavy maintenance! It's not an easy task to upkeep one's small patch of land moreover with a fairly large collection of flowers and ferns.

With good green fingered family members it was not much of my worries until recently. Daddy got me a Gardening Kit. It's meant for play and make believe but it was built in a sturdy material making it ideal for the real deal.

With it's own set of gloves (meant for 6 and above) and little pots in various sizes I was able to emulate a gardener in action. For starters I thought it would be a good idea to test it on a little plant and the closest I could get my hands on were the curry leaves.

Whether or not I'm built for this is yet to be known ... Well at least based on the survival of the plant.

Tiffin

An afternoon meal ... a definition that originated from British India. It's widely used for between meals snacks mainly among people of indian origin.

So when these quick bites are packed into containers, they are themselves called tiffin carriers. At lunch today in a restaurant located in Tropicana City Mall, shock came with a lid on.

The order for Nasi lemak Rendang came in a Tiffin Carrier! It was a surprise as we expected the meal in proper plates. The presentation was certainly unique but we were not running of to school or work to have lunch packed like this.

Poor daddy had a tough time enjoying his lunch moreover with a fairly large spoon that came with it.

Rhythmic Gymnastics

The Tropicana City Mall was filled with cheers from the crowd at the Junior Unity Rhythmic Gymnastics Carnival. It was right after playgym and we wanted to burn time window shopping that we bumped into the event.

The participants were all getting ready and practicing their routine before executing their finest display on the floor to woo the judges.

What they all had in common was a stick frame. I'm not far from that and blessed with reasonably long legs for a girl my age, I think I might have found an avenue to showcase my 'moves' from playgym and home.

It takes alot of practice especially with their footing to help them create that butterfly effect when they take off and land. These girls makes it look so easy.

The freehand routine seems doable as I've attempted my share of it on bed and the sofa. I've had my bruises and bumps but the hoop and clubs requires massive concentration.

I got the height and with proper attire I could have grabbed a decent finish but I'll save that till I decide if this would be a good activity to participate in.
