Inner Solace

{014} Orh Luak, a little strawberry flower, and a tiny shiso seedling.

I love oyster omelette, but this is the first time I’ve tried to make it. The recipes I saw online were a bit hit and miss with what they were putting in it. So I had to make it up. Turned out reasonably well, but I was a bit heavy handed with the batter. Oops.

I can’t wait for the strawberry blossom to turn into an actual strawberry. I just wish they they would grow more…

12 attempts to sprout shiso, and only 1.5 seedlings.  The 0.5 is just to the left of this one but it’s remained a stem without leaves for weeks. I want shiso, damnit.

Also, the photo of the oyster omelette is very grainy. Bit odd. May have to fix that.

New year, new 365, new garden.

Let’s see how long I can keep the 365 up this year.

PS. These are my new Greenbo pots. I’m quite besotted with them. I also intend to do a little review of them in about a month or so after the plants have settled in.

I am so smitten with this Santa Monica house, it’s crazy. I mean just look at the 750 sq ft pool!! and it’s 9’ deep!  The pool in the center ends up anchoring the main house, guest house and office. And with the pool so prominent, it almost feels like a little lake with a dock. Let’s just go ahead and add this to my list of dream houses.

See more shots of this exterior makeover here.

I really do fancy how it looks like the house is on a lake.

I have never seen kang kong flower before. But then, I’ve usually eaten it before it’s had a chance…

The little test tube stem vases are rather pretty.

Inspiring Home with One Garden per Level in Singapore

Is it sad that when I saw this post my first reaction was “Eh… Further example of Singaporeans being kia su…” rather than inspiring?

My first reaction was “How do they mow the roof?”

This might be a sculpture with a tongue-in-cheek message about technology and society, but it’s also a pretty ace looking vertical garden.

Neat wall hanging thing that you can also turn into a vertical garden.
