Dynamics

A switch. How simple. A simple switch in a domino setup.

A team-building endeavour.

How fast, how good - tis member dynamics at play.

A balance between consultation and decision.

A balance needed between discussion/debate and getting down to work.

Too many cooks spoil the broth - there's good reason for this saying, we know.

the ice-cream index

Pistachio almond, strawberry shortcake, chocolate mint, mango etc.
Pints of ice-cream,
eagerly awaited, quickly distributed.
The ice-cream,
in addition to a sumptious buffet,
latter in less-than-glam setting.

Pints of ice-cream,
uncapping peals of delight, bursts of happiness.

Are you happy today?
Yes, yes, yes indeed, with ice-cream in my mouth! :P

花开富贵

Many plants, residing in the huge tree outside.

Ferns, creepers and all.

Then a shower of white orchids bloomed, unexpectedly,

from the horn fern nestled on the tree trunk.

An unexpected sight!

A blessing this CNY!

The Little CNY Rose

The little rose. It too jostled to bloom this Lunar New Year. Our little "dragon" rose. :)

CNY 6

Tis the 6th day of the Lunar New Year. A Sat, a weekend. A time to gather, to meet and chat.

Together ...

The long beans, snuggly lined together.

Side by side, together.

Neatly, together.

Yet not together.

Each on its own; each in its own world.

Each playing on its own iPhone; each in its own world, oblivious to the world.

The long beans, neatly lined together.

Weighed down by the grilled chicken piece above.

Weighed down together ...

... by force.

新年快乐 ， 万事如意

Here's wishing all a Happy and Prosperous Year of the Dragon! Safety and good health to all!

A new convenience

A new convenience for the new year.

A travel-size atomiser! As small as a lipstick holder. :)

The little Red Periwinkle

The little Red Periwinkle,

a shadow of its vibrant self,

then blossoming with abundant flowers,

glowing bright red in the morning sun.

The little Red Periwinkle,

shrivelling over time,

stems and leaves dwindling to a handful,

yielding space in the pot

to hardy fly-by-night plants and resilient weeds.

The little Red Periwinkle,

a lone stem left,

a few leaves, in sickly yellow,

struggling to turn green with chlorophyll.

Then a tiny red bud appeared.

Then a small flower unfurled.

The little Red Periwinkle,

now with a red flower.

A single lone flower.

But in time for Lunar New Year nevertheless!
