I really should go sleep but... yeah! Isn't that typical? LOL

1) Where's your favorite place to go connect with nature?
Macau is a city in its entirety so there really isn't much nature. The "most" nature place you can get is in Coloane island, and while I'd like to go there more often, I just don't have the time and the means of transport to do so.

2) What's a disposable thing that you've found a use for?
Those Starbucks plastic cups, I use those to mix the soil for the plants before repotting them.

3) Where does your community need de-trashed?
Not exactly sure what this question means with "de-trashed", but I think the community, the people needs to learn how to trash thing. With the increasing popularity of online shopping, there is now a lot of cardboard boxes. You would think people will know that to trash these you should flatten the box and maybe fold it if you can? No. The people here just trash the boxes while still in box form, so the trash bins get filled up really quickly, not because there's a lot of trash, but because people don't know how to trash.

4) What's your favorite flower?
Although I've recently picked up the hobby of plants and stuff, I don't think I know enough flowers to say I have a favorite. I've always said that I hate flowers, because whenever I get a whiff of flowers my brain will only go to funeral homes and cemeteries. So imagine the awkwardness when some 5 years ago my then-Boss got me a bouquet of flowers for my birthday. Huh. He was confused why I wasn't excited and seemed to want to just put the bouquet as far away as possible.

5) What positive change do you wish we'd all make?
The usual? Energy conservation, minimize pollution and all that? It seems that everyone is very good at talking the talk but when it comes to putting effort into walking the walk, nobody wants to actually walk.

1. What due for renewal?
Nothing yet. My driver's license will have to be renewed when I reach 40. Credit cards are fine. Passports are fine as well. Can't think of anything (of mine) that needs to be renewed.

2. When did you most recently replace something good with something inferior?
Hm...! I don't think I would knowingly replace something good with something inferior, unless it was something due to bad luck or poor research.

3. What statement did you recently have to recant?
LOL I don't make statements so I don't have to recant anything.

4. What’s refreshed you this week?
Just today, I decided to take the day off and pampered myself with a haircut and a dye job.

5. What’s a fond memory you have of elementary school recess?
None really. I was a dumb kid back then, and the more I think about my elementary life, the more I think I had been bullied back then. The sad thing is, I never really realized it until now that I think about it. Especially when those bullies have been trying to contact me again. At first I still replied them since their chatting seemed innocent enough, but then I had the epiphany and then I just ignored them.

Hello! Here I am again! I think I went a bit overboard today as I did quite a lot of things today!

It's Friday, it's supposed to be a work day, but I settled my tasks yesterday, and I didn't anticipate a lot of new work to fall on my desk the following day (i.e. today), so I told my Boss I'll take the day off and he said okay, and thus, here I am today with a Friday off!

My alarm went off at 6.15am but I was feeling lazy so just rolled around in bed until 7am and got up.

Hope you enjoyed my day, I'm going to bed now. Until the next time!

I finally have something for this week's prompt :-)

I went to my friend's pastry shop yesterday to place an order and deposit for a Mother's Day Cake. We are long-time friends (since kindergarten) and her shop is just down a street across my apartment block. Her sister is the baker/chef/artisan and my friend does the marketing/advertising and numbers; I'm somewhat her volunteer-sometimes spellchecker and sounding board for her promos and ads. And as they are closed on Wednesdays, if there are any leftover cakes on Tuesday evening, she would let me have them.

These are this season's cake selection, summer is soon coming and I look forward to her new cakes for the next season.
