Hujan Lebat, Ribut Petir.

Caused three fallen plants, two broken pots and a mess to be cleaned up by Jed (can almost be sung to the tune of 12 Days of Christmas). That was a few days back but as people say, history tends to repeat itself. And it did, just now coupled with the worst congestion I've experienced in many, many months. Photographic evidence as follow:

As you can see, its original position were supposed to be on top of those circular structure on the stairs, as seen on the right side of the image.


I tell you, that must have been one hell of a storm to be able to blow the plants that far away because each of them weighs almost a tonne. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little but these buggers definitely felt heavier than, let's see... the wife! Man, lifting them gave me a sharp straining sensation on my left shoulder blade!


Come to think of it, kinda illogical for me to put things that way because:
1. if the plants heavier than the wife, and
2. the plants blown away by storm, therefore
3. the wife blown away by the storm as well?

Perhaps I can try experimenting the above theory with the wife during a storm, hehehe. Anyway, more on the picture above. The red bucket you see in the middle is filled with pieces of the shattered pot, damaged by the previous storm. And on the bottom right corner would be the new pots and soil purchased last weekend which most fortunately, have yet to be filled with the plants and placed accordingly else it'll end up smashed by the storm as well.


That's like throwing salt into seawater, as the chinese say.
