Crop Production

Farming

Ah, here's how my little veggie patch looks like :P

Digging the drains and made 2 beds =P

Offline

Dear people, I'll be offline from today until the 16th of June. Moving house and internet is cut off until Thurs, but will be in Italy. So, see you! Byes!

Mess

Pack!

What a slow process of packing. So much garbage around the house, it's just amazing what one can collect over a year. And I've thrown out a garbage bag load of things earlier this year. Sigh.. well, can't wait to move to our new house! And get everything reorganised, since it's almost like starting fresh again, without the garbage. Hopefully this time, there won't be another phase of garbage collection. Hmm.. so many "garbage" words used in this paragraph too.. argh..

Value Meal

Just enough

What can you do with €4.85? Have a good filling meal at McD, eurosaver menu =) 2 Hamburgers, 1, Curly Fries, and a medium chocolate milkshake. Mmmmmm~~ it's more filling than having a value meal proper and all you get is a gas drink and some scrawny yellow fries. Combined, my meal here is more bulky. More for less.

In The Gazebo

The Gardener brought me to a gazebo,
He sat me down and smiled,
All around me was glistening stardust,
I stared in awe and wonder,
What's that?
The fragrance I had smelled before,
It was like floating in a galaxy,
in a dream,
The Gardener held out His hand,
And the stardust began to swirl,
in the center of the gazebo,
They concentrated in mid air,
A bright ball of light,
emitting the fragrance,
The Gardener smiled and blew softly at the light,
I gasped,
It was the flower which He burnt,
when we were walking in the garden,
He took it and held it to me,
"It is yours. You let me take it, and that, my child, is faith and honour.
Keep it, cherish it, for I can see that you will love it,
forever."
He closed His eyes, and the bloom flew into my heart,
I looked at my chest and saw it living and glowing.
He said,
"Follow me, and I will show you how to tend to your blossom."
He smiled,
He took my hand and we started walking again,
this time, with the flower in my heart.

Numbers

Count-count?

Yikes..it's been a long time since I saw a finance-type document. I'm supposed to be learning how to drain a hill, build drains, digging for drains, and irrigation. But behold, my class assignment for my crop production class is counting Gross Margine/ha, Breakeven Grain Prices, and a write up of profitability of the wheat production for the year. HAHAHA... interesting =) Medical student in an agriculture class learning about irrigation and having accounting thrown at him~

Knives

Trusty and Hardy

Here, my two kitchen companions. Trusty worn Tesco knife and Henckels =) I love that Tesco knife because the angle of the handle suits my hand very well, and the blade is tough. However, the handle has deteriorated and it has nicks now, needs to be sharpened now and then. Nevertheless, good for cutting up chicken, through small bones. Ah, Henckels is like a razor. How thin do you want your onions? =) hahaha.. enough said. Hope it lasts 10 years without blunting.
