Hari Raya Final Preparations (delayed update hehe)

A well travelled friend got us this seeds from his travel down under. We planted it a couple of days before Raya, and in a week it started to grow.

This is our flower planter near the entrance which, yes, we finally managed to plant something just a couple of days before Raya. Total spent... $30 for 5 pots of plants and 7 bags of black soil. Efforts? Priceless heheheh
Our three kids 'helped'

Another shot of the planter, with the three different coloured flowers - pink, white and blue. Oh, don't ask what flowers are they, cos we have no idea heheh  The flowers are Petunia (thanks Cuz Zulida). I'll probably (probably!) plant some more as borders to the driveway as I love to see the flowers bloom EVERY DAY

There they are again

Salam Aidilfitri to Gembo n family... lampu cucul, dalam bahasa Melayu standard apa ek? cepatnya those plants tumbuh...

Mrs G:
Rush - Salam Aidilfitri to you too.. No idea what's the BM standard for lampu cucul or laplip (Shopper Mama punya version). Plants tu "instant" flowering..i.e. beli 'becos' dah berbunga.. The first flowering plant I've ever planted in my life..hmm..not much of a domestic diva but trying to get there..
Well, if u're in Brunei - just drop by ok..email me dulu k..
