Best Deals at Daiso?

Best deals it seems comes when you least expect them to appear. The same thing happened to me one afternoon as I lazed and sauntered about at Plaza Singapura. The place was huge with innumerable retail outlets offering the latest teenage fashion that ANY teenagers with popping zits and raging hormones would love to have.

Anyway, nauseated by the capitalistic offerings, I slowly made my way into DAISO hoping that a quick dash of cheap-china-made-products (hopefully not with melamine...) products would lift my already sore mood.

I was in for more shock (and delightful surpise!)

Although the store was filled to the brim with cheap knick-knacks (read: cutesy plastic containers that have no practical purposes), the real gem lay right at the very back of the store - the gardening section.

Garden enthusiasts, read on.

It was like I stumbled upon gardening nirvana. What a sight to behold as I drooled at the sight of beautiful and really cheap containers. If you have potted plants that need a sprinkling of life, these DAISO containers will do the job nicely.

On offer were the following:

Trowels
Flower scissors
Containers (metallic, glass, clay and fibreglass)

I'll try to include a few photos the next time I post an entry!

Major Project! What a Thing!

Phew!

Major Project is literally draining all the juices out of me!
I feel so tired after each meeting as we had to plan out the
Literature Review, Discussion of our Results & Observations
and finally come out with a logical (and of course practical)
suggestions to our "Company" (a major healthcare authority).

Just for your information, Major Project (a.k.a Final Year Project) is
a major component in every Diploma in Temasek Polytechnic.
Final year students are given a selection of topics for them to
play with (I mean research on...)

Which means that we poor souls have to conduct strenous research
into our selected fields (food science, nutrition or food service).
Once that is done, we students are to report on our findings in an
aptly named Final Report. The finale ends with a Poster Presentation

Now back to where I left off...My group is in charge of evaluating
the effectiveness of a child care centre programme right here in
dear 'ol Singapore.

What we were tasked to do includes:

• Compiling the passing and failure rate of child care centres which participated in the programme
• Evaluating the effectiveness of the programme (includes coming up with a questionnaire and interviewing the supervisors and cooks of child care centres)
• Design a pamphlet as a nutrition guide for parents
• Writing a report on our findings
• Present our research to a group of industry veterans

Sounds tough huh? You bet!

Well, that's all I can spare for now...it's back to more research, research and more research!

Introduction

Hey guys

Let me introduce myself. I'm someone who appreciates the intricate beauty of plants, the luxurious proliferation of flora and fauna and the amazing diversity of nature. I've always regarded gardening as one of my most intimate passions.

I hope this blog will shed some light on the beauty of gardening.

Happy reading!
