Get start kickin'..

Since I barely noticed the Earth's Day and BYJ's 'Kick the Habit' which was an initiative to help conserve/protect the environment, I have come up with own means of kicking the old habits..

As we are heading towards the end of spring, we're nearly finish sorting the garden as well. I suppose my offer to helping the environment is by planting a tree in our garden. The flowers have come out already and I'm so pleased with them.

Also I have started growing some vegetables which I could grow in pots. I haven't grown anything since primary years and have forgotten how much fun there is. Today I planted some lettuces which should be ready by summer. I am also propagating my everlasting spring onions which I got from my in laws. They too have a small area in their garden where they grow carrots, potatoes, broad beans, celery, spring onions, radishes, and rhubarb. That sounds plenty doesn't it? I thought everytime I visit the supermarket I could get hold of some seedlings.

I also would like to share some progress of our garden..we managed to place some decorative stones and few solar powered garden lights. I'm hoping it will work quite well during the evening.

I intend to continue this project and growing our own veges..it's one of the those things I like living in the country..the simplicity of it all.

Thanks to Style for the photo.

In pursuit of the perfect sunset..

For the last three days we have been blessed with three consecutive sunny days. It might sound absurd but British summer like I said is unpredictable. Since I was working the last few days, hubby got the chance to pick me from work. Everytime we come home we were greeted with stunning sunsets. So with his patience and support I had to run back to the house to pick up my camera. Feeling like a pro with a bit of adrenalin rush, off we went. The first photo was taken yesterday and I was disappointed because we got to the spot a bit late. The sun was already gone. I have never seen such big and rounded sun same as those you see in photographs. It was bright red which seem to have a thin silky sheet of cloud over it. sigh...

So today I was packed ready and half an hour early too. I had to battle with my dog as he was more interested in sniffing the path and pulling about. Need more practice in walking him in this situation.

I was almost decided to come home but when we were few yards away I looked and saw the sun out of the clouds. As I walked back a car was heading the same spot too. The guy seem to be there to watch the sunset everyday. The last picture showed his car parked at the same spot. As I headed home I got reminded of the Little Prince. 'When one is so terribly sad, one loves sunsets.. 'was he sad too?

The importance of being BYJ..

Just wondering if BYJ has planned to give us a heart problem..with all the waiting and now with all these new pictures around I bet so many ladies out there are trying to chill and calm their heart rate down..these photos are so gorgeous and what's more they are for a good cause. It left me pondering, whose idea was Kick the Habit? Solely BYJ which I am guessing 99% his and the 1 % from other BOF stars..(excuse me from being bias, think I'm allowed to.. ;-) )To read about this campaign please click here.

Below is a short intro of stars during the photo shoot of the Cosmopolitan May edition shared by Tomato and take note it's sold out!!! Only one man could do that..only BYJ.

Thanks to TWSSG and Xiaoyi's blog for the pictures.

Summer on AB

Some lovely pictures of the Arnaldo Bassini 2009 Summer Collection. I must say these are better than the Spring photos. Thanks to Style and Maron of BYJGallery.

Brits got talent..

Call me a slowcoach but I think I have been in these past few days.. after what happened to hubby I think my life's perspective have been redirected in a different way. It was a wake up call. We definitely have to slow down and look after ourselves. Although I have missed some things happening under my nose I still managed to catch up. Today after watching the Grand Prix qualifying in China and the team I supported ended in the ninth place I felt disappointed but it's only a sport and I won't be able to help if I feel so atrocious towards it.. it's not going to change anything.

Being away last weekend I didn't manage to watch 'Britain's Got Talent'. It's a variety show obviously looking for acts of any sort. The winner will have the opportunity to act in the presence of the royal family in December. The show is very interesting. For me it's like watching hope fulls from all over the kingdom trying to audition in order to meet the Queen and get their talents known. And you must have heard about this one very special act last Saturday which was known not only here in Britain but in the US. It's Susan Boyle's I Dreamed a Dream. To watch her performance please click here. The following are previous winners of BGT.

The 2008 winner was Manchester's George Sampson.

The 2007 winner was Paul Potts singing Nessun Dorma.

The Cosmo..

It's the talk of tinseltown I must admit...BYJ in Cosmopolitan Korea this May!! Wowww at last water amidst what seem to be a never ending drought. If you are a BYJ family , you know what I mean.

So is this that pair of shoes???? The one he's got is grey and this one comes in grey too however what seems to be the answer to the puzzle is if you look on the sides.. Just click here if you want to know what I'm talking about. ;-) Look on lace ups.

Anyway, who cares whether it's Louis Vuitton or something from the High Street as long as he's out and smilling.

Fun with pics

Thanks to L..I found this great way to play with pictures.. obviously BYJ's although I have some good ideas for hubbys ;-) Have a lovely weekend ahead.
