Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
Sunflowers are yellow.
I bet you were expecting something romantic but no this is just gardening facts :D
So the day I went to UKM for my interview, I beli biji benih bunga matahari kat Tesco Kajang.
I have no idea what I was thinking like OMG Teah nak menanam seriously?
Maybe this plant could remark the biggest day of my life like Hey it's my babysteps to enter the next level of legal field so why not if I spend my money on sunflower seeds? :D
Happy two months baby!
I asked my mom "Kenapa tak keluar bunga lagi? Dah dua bulan ni"
and then she came out with this "Kena banyak bersabar. Eh tengok ni dah keluar pucuk dia, ha tak lama lagi ada lah bunga nya. Besar tau bunga dia nanti"
Hey little tiny creature, keluar lah cepat :(
My mom pesan tanam pokok ni memang kena banyak bersabar.
Sometimes you plant something and you don't expect it to grow as fast as you were expecting cause it could actually die due to some circumstances.
Macam tu jugak dengan hidup.
Kita ni plan memacam tapi esok belum tentu lagi kita ni hidup atau tak.
Deep jugak tanam tanam pokok ni like it gives us the meaning of life to have some patience in doing something :)
My mom ada tanam satu pokok ni bila mana asal orang datang rumah they will keep saying :
"Eh cantiknya pokok ni. Ni bukan ke pokok yang selalu orang cina tanam?" or
"Nanti kalau ada benih, saya nak boleh? Cantiknya" or
"Haritu saya ada tanam tapi tak rasi, this time nak ambik anak pokok terus boleh?"
Pokok burung :)
Actually anak benih pokok ni was given by Ma, the chinese neighbor selang satu rumah.
She told my mom not everyone boleh bela pokok ni since dia perlukan keserasian dengan owner dia, ikut kepercayaan dia lah.
See, bentuk burung? That's why orang panggil pokok burung :)
While my mom tengah gembur gembur tanah nak letak baja tahi ayam kat Encik Bunga Matahari and other pokok, I helped her cari biji benih.
Usually biji benih ni ada kat pokok burung tu sendiri so you just find the one yang dah a little bit rotten and kering pastu tanam balik kat dalam pasu dia.
Like this one tak rotten lagi so biarkan.
Ha this one dah garing so boleh ambik and tanam balik dalam pasu but first you have to break it apart sebab dalam biji ni ada lagi 3 anak benih.
Nak jaga pokok burung is really complicated, my mom la yang cakap.
Kena selalu bagi attention like belek belek and kena letak kat tempat teduh.
But it's really worth kot sebab impressive to have a plant that actually imitate another creature which is a bird :)
This is my mom's another plant, pokok balung ayam. Eh yeke eja watevah.
Awak yang duduk dalam pasu aloe vera kita tengah buat apa tuuu!
