The look of my ripe purple nona (sweetsop) fruit.

My purple nona (sweetsop) fruit finally ripe last 24 June 2019. Basically after 110 days or 3 months and 18 days it became fruit bud. Quite a long time taken to wait for it ripe. It was already too ripe and smushed right after harvest. Despite that, it is very sweet and fragrant.
It takes almost 1 year 7 months and 5 days or 582 days for me to taste the first fruit after planted it last 20 November 2017 [2].

This is taken last noon of 19 June 2019. It is after few work activites out of the lab and lunch that day. I do not even have time or to blot off my oily face.

Delivery of pisang lemak manis and pisang tanduk to my customer.

My look of whole tandan (bunch) pisang lemak manis (banana) fruits and 2 unit of my pisang tanduk (banana) fruits. It was for delivery to my customer in the morning 21 June 2019.
It is not an easy task for 1 person to do it. But it is doable. Which I end up with only the above picture for the delivery process. I really need to teach Dell to take good picture of me later.

The look of pisang lemak manis heart from the one planted in a basket.

My pretty neighbour shared pictures of the heart of her planted pisang lemak manis. That being planted in a basket last 2 November 2018 based on my gardening consultation service [1].
The heart comes out last 20 June 2019. Basically after 7 months and 17 days or 231 days planted it in a basket.
For your information, after the heart is out the banana fruits will slowly emerge from the banana heart. After the last male fruits is out, only then you can harvest the banana heart. You need to be patience. If not, you will not get any banana fruits if you harvest the heart right away. 
I am really happy to see good progress of her planted pisang lemak manis. Hopefully she will be able to enjoys the fruits around early September 2019.

The look of stingless bee roaming on my rose flower.

This is taken last 19 June 2019. Where I saw 1 stingless bee hovering aroundy blooming rose flower. 
What I could identify is it has:
  • Black eyes with orange outer layer. 
  • Black legs. 
  • Orange wing tip. 
  • Orange stomach. 
It is either Tetragonilla atripes or Geniotrigona thoracica based on the above criterias. Still do not know much on stingless bee to be able to identify it easily. 

Video of the stingless bee move around my rose flower.
Hopefully I am able to get some help in identifying this species of stingless bee. Unfortunately I do not know any expert especially an entomologist to assist in identification process.

My simple make up look today.

I do simple eyeliner using dark brown and black glittery eyeshadow powder last morning of 28 May 2019. I just use the same Anastasia Beverly Hills no 7 brush that I used for my eyebrows.
I do applied my make up this morning with the aid of my 7x magnifying mirror and 26 cm/10 inch ring light [1]. I am able to see better and get even results using both tools. That shows how important good lighting for make up application.

Video proof of Dell enjoys eating ripe pisang nangka.

Was quite surprised Dell go towards the bowl of pisang nangka (banana) first instead of chicken soup bowl. He do know to follow sunnah. Which is to eat fruits before a meal. Such a clever boy.

My review on perfume Fancy EDP from Jessica Simpson.

The look of the bottle perfume Fancy EDP from Jessica Simpson last 28 May 2019. For me it is moderately sweet. This perfume is basically 80% more subtle and mellow than my Pink Sugar perfume [1].
