The huge amount of pus on tissue from stray cat wound.

This is taken late evening of 30 August 2019. As one of the male stray cat found wounded morning of 29 August 2019.
The pus is oozing out when I hold the cat by its neck to get closer look of his wound.
I am able to spray wound medicine to its wound before leave the faculty yesterday. His body is heating up that time.

Somehow today I get hunch to press nearby skin of its wound area. And even my colleague who helped to pin down the cat was surprised to see so many pus coming out of the wound puncture. There is a very thick white pus flakes in the yellow pus discharge. Unable to take picture nor video of the pus discharge process and the cat wound since my hands already covered with pus residue. I should really make phone holder on my shawl.
The amount of pus from the wound on the used tissue.
This is more than 18 cut sheets from my toilet roll tissue used to wipes the cat pus.

My review on perfume Orange EDT from Hugo Boss

For me this is a sweet fresh scent with apple hint perfume. It does have similarities to certain air freshener scent. It definitely have strong resemblence with my Nourishing Skin Cream from Himalaya [1].
Regardless, I love using it since it have calming and cooling effect on me.

My simple evening make up look.

My simple lunch: grilled marinated chicken cook using my travel cooker.

This is taken last morning of 13 August 2019. Where I put (dump) in my frozen marinated chicken in my travel cooker before I take my bath [1].
I decided to use my travel cooker since I am craving for scorched taste of grilled chicken. Where it is impossible to achieve using my lunch box. Can see the scorched part on the cooked chicken below๐Ÿ‘‡.
By the time I settle down and finished half of my task, it is cooked well. I do let it cook for 40 minutes while I am finishing up my work. Despite it only took 15 minutes if using pressure cooker [2]. As it does makes more sense to use my 1.5 liter travel cooker than 6 liter pressure cooker for only 4 pieces of marinated chicken๐Ÿ˜…. Easier to wash also.

My review on perfume Ange Ou Demon Le Secret EDT from Givenchy.

This is taken last 5 August 2019. I was craving for tea scented fresh perfume. But perfume Still by JLo is too strong for me after testing it out the night before [1]. Even perfume Tommy Girl EDT too strong for me at this moment [2]. Which I have to opt for perfume Ange Ou Demon Le Secret Eau de Toilette from Givenchy. It is much milder and fresh tea scented perfume with hints of apple that suits my current olfactory system. More towards angelic scent. The bottle also very pretty like chandelier look. Especially the middle back edge.

The huge and long size of my hempedu bumi leaf planted outside work place.

This is taken last 23 April 2019. Finally I know the type of plant that grow healthily in one of container outside my work place/lab area. After it start to produce seed pots. It is hempedu bumi plant [1].
The largest is 10 cm long and 3.5 cm wide (middle part of leaf). Medium size is 5 cm long and 2 cm wide (middle part of leaf).
Definitely much bigger, longer, wider and thinner than mine at home [1]. Seems like to be more than 70% increment in size. That is why I never guess it is a hempedu bumi plant from earlier. Fortunately my instict to let it grow bigger, worth the risk taken. Since it is quite good herbs.

Overview look of the plant.

My morning drink of pandan leaf+spearmint+apple mint.

This is taken in the morning of 19 July 2019. Where I make hot drink using pandan leaf+spearmint leaves+apple mint leaves. As I have extra pandan leaves to be used for my kombucha second fermentation tomorrow. The spearmint and apple mint leaves from the stem that I accidentally pull out when I clean up weeds in their containers.
I used half of pandan leaf. Around 6 cm long and 2 cm wide. 9 small spearmint leaves and 2 small apple mint leaves. I shred the pandan leaf and the pour hot boiled water into the leaves. I do find that the spearmint and apple mint leaves helps mellow down panda leaf bitter taste. Since I opt for no sugar in my herbal drink.
