My Flower

I have been feeling rather sluggish lately. So sluggish and no mood until I didn't bother to touch up my hair. Half my head was white ala quasi nenek kebayan.

And then when I was at the post office, the sweet young thing behind the counter called me auntie. I am very pantang when people call me auntie. Tak suka.

So last Sunday, I took the trouble to touch up my hair. Hence I could not do any cooking because DIY hair color is very time consuming. Hopefully I don't look like auntie now.

In my garden, a pink Spider Flower grew in one of my flower pots. In the past, I scattered the seeds harvested from earlier blooms onto the ground and into my many pots.

It's such a pretty flower but very susceptible to attack by caterpillars. So I have to be vigilant.

Girl has been very nice lately, staying inside whenever I am at home. 

But sometimes I want her outside especially when I want to clean the house. I used to turn on the vacuum cleaner and she would bolt outside but these days, she just runs upstairs for cover.

I discovered recently that she has been very chummy with my neighbors. One neighbor remarked that she is "everybody's cat. Every house also she goes, no loyalty whatsoever." (hah..hah...) And right before my eyes, Girl did belly rolls for this neighbor. Haiz... 

It's OK Girl. Mommy does not mind you bringing some joy to the people in the neighborhood. As long as you behave and come home to Mommy, it's all right.

Meanwhile, Belle is doing fine. She is more confident now and does not cling on to the spot at my front door. These days, she goes about jalan-jalan and comes home when it is time to eat.

I saw these boxes of oranges at Aeon last Sunday. Alamak, Chinese New Year is coming and Santa is not even here yet.

Ma! Next year I want ang pow.
