Adding some greens

Last week, I complaint about how my back was hurting all week long because we were busy moving stuff, shopping and carrying all these heavy stuff. Look what we’ve brought home.

Lucky bamboo plant, just in time for Lunar New Year. I keep this on my computer desk next to my laptop.

We call this the “happy plant” but in actual fact, it is some type of orchid plant. Hopefully it’ll bloom this Spring. It is sitting happily on our balcony and we mist it everyday especially hot day like today!

Then there’s two spiky plant closer to the front of the balcony. No idea what it’s call.

Here’s the other one. We call them the spiky plant how unoriginal. Any idea what they are call?

Eats: Korean Seoul

Pretty bland appetizer


Raw beef was too chunky and everything was cut very thickly.


A very average Bi bim bap hot pot


Very salty seafood korean fried rice


Bulgogi

The entire experience was rather unpleasant. The waitress took our orders wrongly simply because she had trouble understanding English. We even pointed at the menu and she still had it down wrong. The price was rather expensive for the average fares they were serving up as well.
