Blotanical in Malaysia Home & Decor Magazine


Firstly, I would like to wish everyone A Happy Valentine's Day !

Today, I shall present yellow roses from my garden and hey, growing roses is not difficult after all.

"To love someone deeply gives you strength.
Being loved by someone deeply gives you courage."
..... Lao Tze 


2.
"At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet."

..... Plato


3.
"Absence diminishes little passions and increases great ones,
As wind extinguishes candles and fans a fire."
..... Francois de La Rochefoucauld


4.
"A man falls in love through his eyes,
A woman through her ears."
..... Woodrow Wyatt



5.
"But love is blind, and lovers cannot see
The pretty follies that themselves commit."
..... William Shakespeare


I have very delighted that My Nice Garden has been mentioned in the February 2011 Home & Decor Magazine, Malaysia edition.  It is my honour to be listed among bloggers Bangchik of My Little Vegetable Garden from Malaysia and Gardening With Wilson Wong from Singapore.

And I am so proud to be a member of Blotanical. Cheers to Blotanical!



Thank you very much to Malaysia Home & Decor Magazine!


Alvin, my boy will be turning 16 this February 15th. He used up all his 'ang pow' (Chinese New Year red packet) money to buy this gift and sacrificed 2 days of his game time making this gift wrap with many many hearts. He will not reveal to anyone what is inside this box. Well, not even to me, his mom. It makes me worried and I wonder WHO (???) is the special someone who is going to receive this gift.

Alvin my boy,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STRONG SIXTEEN!

Son, you are growing up fast, going through all the stages that leads to maturity,
We'd like you to know that we shall always be there to share you joys and sorrows, triumphs and failures.
For 16 years and more to come, you are the source of much joy and happiness.
This special day for you is also very special to us.
We love you!
..... mom and dad.

  4. Your roses so beautiful It's hard to grow roses in our climate, I tried many times since I'm 13 yo, but failed. Last 3 year I bought new one, but still cannot survive. I need to learn from you ;)
    It's great to know that your blog had mentioned in the magazine.

    Happy Valentine's day to you.

    Happy Birthday to your boy!

  6. Oh, that rose is just so beautiful and romantic! Love that sweet yellow. Happy Velentine's Day! Happy Birthday to your son! You must be very curious whom is he going to give that special gift to. My son is now 13, and he is going through the early teen stage, and I will be very curious too if someday he makes a gift with so many hearts for someone! :)

  10. your yellow rose look so complete and perfect. Normally I see roses are so exploded or burst with their petals burned due to the climate & weather.
    May you have a lovely heartwarming Valentine moment with family & friends.

  33. hahaha, Autumn Belle, it's obvious you're too busy! Aside from the more infrequent posts, you're now thanking your commenters in bulk! Maybe also because you have too many blogspots. But whatever you're busy with these days, i hope you take care of yourself, and hope you're happy whatever!
