Had a full weekend with chores, meetings and photography of a certain kind. Anyways, here's one photo I approached it using some tips I picked up from Louis' workshop. Yes, I know it's a tiny pitcher plant but who says wedding photography and macro plant photography are different. In case you're wondering, it's for my brother-in-law's new blog.

Well, this weekend has been much more restful than the last but still packed with little chores and things to do. Was up early on a Saturday to send my wife's car in for servicing and then it's off to the market for groceries. The hardware shop came next to replace my leaky faucet. That took quite a large amount of effort and back-breaking labor -- I wonder who screwed the original faucet in, but heck, it was so tight I had to use a wrench and hammer at the same time!

Then while we had to cook dinner for a pot-luck birthday dinner we were to attend later, I figured I might as well do some gardening. On the 12th floor that is and it was really a strange feeling. I mean here I am potting plants and getting my hands dirty with soil but it's 12 floors up and I've tiles for the floor. I can't wait to get my feet back onto the ground!

No photos of the baby yet, but I've this cute little pitcher plant...

When I said, "My foot is slipping," your love, O LORD, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.
~ Psalm 94:18-19

 Be glad, O people of Zion,
rejoice in the LORD your God,
for he has given you
the autumn rains in righteousness.
He sends you abundant showers,
both autumn and spring rains, as before.
    The threshing floors will be filled with grain;
the vats will overflow with new wine and oil.
~ Joel 2:23-24

Not exactly wine or grain, but a bountiful harvest (about 200kg) of Rambutans to wrap up 2006!

For my new bamboo curtain... photos coming later.
Four huge pots of about 100 liter size plus 15 bags of soil.
Looks like another trip is neccessary!

And now just finished mopping the floors, cleaning the backyard, re-potting four bamboo plants, and whipping up a vegetable soup for tonight's dinner... I need a vacation!

And from today's message, all about God's love and how it should be the foundation of our own love.
Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for men,
for he satisfies the thirsty
and fills the hungry with good things.
~ Psalm 107:8-9, (Entire Psalm 107)
