Hub and I saw this on Groupon and was really intrigue by it…

On the other hand, we were also a little weary of it as we had some bad experience with it. I know it’s not really Groupon’s fault as they are only advertiser and the merchant might have over promise during their ad. But, we figure it is a tangible product, it would have been easier to demand for a refund compare to a lousy service. (You cannot un-do the bad massage experience !)

So, we bought 4 to try first…If it is not up to our expectation, at least you won’t end up with like 12 of it sitting in your cupboard somewhere, waiting for actions to be made !!! Anyway, we were only planning of using it on one area in our garden which was a little dark at night and 4 should be enough (I think).

The LED lights come with several parts which was easily assembled into a a torch-like device. Looks quite cool. The finishing is pretty acceptable.

The only thing which we thought could have been better was if we can change the LED to the color we want. Then, it would be so cool when you throw a party and change the color according to the theme. 😉

Unfortunately, these will continuously change color. We did thought of synchronizing them to have the same color at the same time. But, the timing for each color change seems to be different between the lights. So, even if all 4 were turned on at the same time, it will slowly become quite random.

I manage to grab one picture with all 4 different colors. The first (bottom right) is yellow, follow by green, blue and red. I think I like blue the most. 🙂

Yay… our garden is so pretty at night now.

Chuletz’s Herb Garden

How many times have you bought a packet of fresh herbs from the market and end up only needing half portion of it? When you need to use the balance half, the only thing you find are wilted leaves.

I am definitely a victim of this. It is actually quite wasteful but it is not like the supermarket will sell you one stalk of thymes or 10 leaves of basil or one sprig of rosemary. Hence, there’s always left-over.

Finally, after like a hundred time throwing away unfinished herbs, I was determine to grow some myself. After researching online for some time, it is to NOT my surprise that not many Malaysian ever consider growing our own herbs (especially the western related herbs). So, arm with the little knowledge I got, I went around hunting for any herbs I could land on. I ended by in a nursery in Sungai Buloh and was amazed by the selection available. It was so exciting.

After running up and down the nursery, with one of their nice staff trailing after me to carry any pot of plants I pointed, I ended up with several herbs.

Curry leaves (very essential to local cuisine)

Rosemary

Thai Basil

Cinnamon Basil

Sweet Basil

Thymes

Mint (I think it’s the common variety)

Hubs and I had a great afternoon replanting them into bigger pots. We even bought some special soil which the guy explain to us already has the correct ratio of everything. It is supposed to be good for herbs. Oh well – we’ll see.

Yay – finally I can have my little herb garden. I wanted to buy more but hubs think I should experiment and see how successful these turns out. He is still a little sceptical as to how well herbs can grow in our humid hot weather. So, finger’s cross that my plants will grow well. Then, I can expand my collection. Heeeheee…
