Garden is Done!

The garden has been DONE! On the back near the wall, you have a mix of Gardenia and Jasmin sambac plants. Both are flowering plants with white petals that are fragrant if you can get a whiff of it. In the pots you have another plant, which also gives off a lovely fragrance, but I've forgotten the name! They were re-potted and have been in our garden for some time!

Against the other side of my wall, we put red Ixora plants, and Tibouchina which has purple flowers.

Thad and his Favourite Gadget

Yup, Thaddeus has a favourite gadget and it is a TV remote control.

He finds it fascinating that by pointing the control at the TV, the screen can change. So, whenever he gets a hold of it, besides attempting to nimble it around to pacify his teething gums (which I react by freaking out everytime), he would point and aim it at the TV. Sometimes he succeeds in changing the channels. Sometimes, he just wants to hold it.

My Fish Inventory

This is what we now have in our fish tanks. Today's latest editions we had to put in the acrylic round tank (it's not really a fish tank, it was meant to be kitchenware!).

Big Tank = 22 fishes.

- 2 Silver Sharks, 1 Tin Foil, 2 Angel fish, 4 Sucker fish, 4 Longkang fish, 7 orange platy fish, 2 goldfish-like fish

Medium Tank = 27 fishes, 2 snails.

- 2 Pearl Gourami, 2 Thai Gourami, 5 Tetra (black and white), 18 Baby fry (16 guppies, 2 longkang), 2 Orange snails

Dymax Tank = 11 fishes.

- 6 Cherry Barbs, 5 Golden Algae-eaters

Acrylic Round Tank = 6 fishes, 8 snails.

- 4 Baby Angel Fish, 2 Sucker fish, 8 Bumble bee snails

Overhauling the Garden

We recently went to the Plant Nursery in Thomson Rd area and bought a selection of Ixora (S$4 per pot), Gardenia, Tibouchina, and Jasmin Sambac plants so that our front garden does not look so disorganised. Hopefully, they all survive. Apparently, the Jasmin plant needs pesticide every week and within a day of coming back, its leaves were already being chewed by some insect.

Let's see how it goes......
