Floor wiper set suitable for asthmatic people

I am getting even busier nowadays. And my master bedroom easily gather dust due to constructions of few houses in front of mine. Since vacuuming the room is not enough to clean the dusty floor and I have limited time and energy to mop it, I have found new solution that suits my current needs = floor wipes set.
This set consist of 1 floor wiper with extendable pole. And a pack of dry wipes of 45 pieces per pack. Also wet wipes that consist of 30 pieces per pack.
Floor wipes set = RM 30 for 3 item. Price excluding delivery cost

Close up look on the set of 3 items

I no longer need to mop the room floor each time after wiping session. Which save a lot of my time, effort and energy. Yet the floor remains clear from dust at least 5 to 10 days. If in a closed area, can go up to 2 weeks. 
It can also be used under a very tight area like under the bed.
And also suitable for weak grip people like older folks. Or small kids too.
This set is very light. Where it enable to be travel friendly to bring along each trip balik kampung💕
Also suitable for students in hostel or rental room.
Till then, have a dust free weekend😤

Red okra in my house

I start planting okra in my house last 28 November 2016. That time I germinate 3 seeds. 2 from 3 of the seeds survive and sprouting leaves. But after planting directly on soil, only one remains until now. The best part is, the survive okra is red in colour💕 Not they typical green ones. All thanks to one of  my FB friend who give me the seeds😄

The look of my red okra on 8 February 2017. Around 2 months and 11 days after planting directly on soil

The look of the okra fruits on 21 February 2017. Around 2 months and 24 days from replanting date

The look on 21 February 2017. The close up look where the top most producing flower bud

The look of booming okra flower on 26 February 2017


The fruit bud is showing up by 27 February 2017
It is not easy for me to grow okra. As this surviving tree also survive from almost broken branch in the early stage due to very strong wind in my housing area. But I already knew trick to avoid such matter from happening again😌

Till then, don't give up in gardening regardless how tedious it become. Cause for me, it is satisfying when I get to eat an organic home grown vegetables and fruits. It taste much sweeter since it is a fruitful effort💕

Nowadays, I make sure to be early in order to catch the female pumpkin flower booming on time for the manual pollination daily.
Some beetle near my pumpkin leaves
They still stick together regardless I have lift up the above leaves
Hopefully those beetles are the good bugs for my tree. Haven't check their details yet. Regardless what, I am disciplining myself to spray neem oil without fail to all my plants daily. Hopefully, that will minimize the damage and protect my crops.

I went to the government veterinary in Johor Bahru. Fortunately I check information online before make the journey there. That is the good thing when you always make sure to check before planning a journey.
Apparently, they have moved to new building in Bandar Baru Uda since early 2016. Last time I went the one in Kebun Teh in year 2014 when helping to send over my friend's cat.
Landmark to go to this place is to put in MALAYSIAN PRODUCTIVITY CORPORATION in Google maps search. This place is the opposite building of the veterinary clinic.

I found that the new place have better and more parking space compare to the previous place.
