Bought this plant for around 2 months… only started to bloom last week.

Not really sure what the official name for this flower is… the Chinese nursery named this as lotus flower in general, but it looks more like a water lily instead because of its leaves.
Took this photo of water lettuce from the little pond at my house after a rainy afternoon. I wonder if water lettuce is actually edible… doesn’t seem like a tasty treat regardless.

My mum walks faster than me
Accompanied my mother for a morning walk over the weekend… and I couldn’t follow up with her pace. Well, she sure has strong legs… but my weight was a killer obviously.
I couldn’t buy a nice pair of slacks
Went shopping for a new pair for slacks in December for a friend’s wedding; my old pair of trousers could no longer fit properly…
I didn’t realize my waistline has bucked up so much in a year; and the funny thing is some of the famous brands didn’t have my size… surprise surprise… am I really THAT fat?
How should I cut my toe nails?
Trying to find a good position to cut my toe nails just minutes ago; when you have a huge tummy it might be difficult to cut your toe nails… it is like doing a Yoga session in finding the right pose to cut the nails.
I feel like a woman
A pregnant woman that is… I began to understand the burden of the extra weight carried by pregnant ladies, as I am pretty close to 6 months ‘pregnancy’ now.
I can’t see my toes when standing straight
Ok… it’s not happening yet, I can still see the tip of my toes… but if I don’t control my weight from now on, it is going to happen pretty soon.
Time to lose some weight… seriously.
