I visit my parents each weekend since I became single again. Each time I pay them a visit, my house would be somewhat neglected. If my house has a life of its own, it would cry each time I leave because now there's no one left to care for the house, which was once home for two. Anyway, I'm doing my best to cope with office work and house chores.
Look at the condition of my plants below. The potted plants merely appear to be green:

| The plants are left to wither - especially the one on the right. |
You'd also notice that I've quite a moderately large lawn (in the background) to upkeep. Often, I feel like puking when I see the carpet grass growing so long - it shouldn't grow long. Maybe it's the wrong species or I didn't know how to look after it, or both. Well, there's no point crying over spilled milk now. After spending RM1,000 on the grass, I've to live with it, trim it as and when it doesn't rain, not too hot, and on any available time. Thank goodness I've a machine to cut it, so that saves a whole lot of time.
I often wonder why the heck I bought this house. I'm not able to maintain this Semi-D double storey forever, you know. One of these days, I'd just sell it off to a prospective buyer and move back to live with my aging parents. Nevertheless, it's only a plan - I can't see the future; but if the future doesn't want to reveal itself to me, then I'll just do what I believe is the right thing to do for me.
Well, I don't have green fingers... maybe just green eyes :-)

lol! nice wat. u shud hire a maid to help u when u're not home ma. :) or maybe u shud quick quick get a wife. :p
This is a warning for u. If you neglect ur plants that way again, the next time I balik kampung, I'll drop by your place and take all those plants home with me where they'll be showered with water day and nite and never get the chance to wither - maybe they'll over 'kembung' from too much watering though :P
Claire: No need to buy Semi-D, i also cannot afford to pay already
Caroline: A maid? Nah, i live alone. A wife? Err... let God decide.
Merryn: You can have all the pots of plants that you want... and my grass too :P
