Feels like a garden in London. Just that it's blinking hot and the water is green, not blue. hahaha

PRC Picnic

Flock of minars flew into my frame.

Lemon Tree

I'm trying to grow a lemon tree... 

I bought some lemons from cold storage and removed the seeds.

I did 2 batches. 

Apparently you can grow lemons in Singapore. 

I dont know how true but this will confirm it. hee

Steps:

1. Remove seeds from lemon

2. Peel the husk off

3. Using finger nail, carefully remove the skin from the seed

4. wet some paper towel and lay the seeds on the paper towel

5. Put it all in a zip lock bag

6. Put it in the sun but ensure that it stays moist

7. WAIT

This batch is 1 week old
