Spraying neem oil to all plants after 1 week gap

My morning routine as normal is to feed my cats and clean them first. After Dell finish eating, I take him out to accompany me to collect old mattress and pillow for my cat usage.

I hold him all the way go and back as this picture

 Then I remember that I need to spray neem oil to all my plants since last week I haven't do so due to too many workload.

I am climbing 12 steps of ladder to spray neem oil to my papaya tree

The position of the ladder

The new papaya flower buds

Already too many flower buds and it will wither if not being taken care

 I also decided to replant my aloe vera since it look withered. When I dig it out, I found that there are ants making nest inside the pot. No wonder my aloe vera is sick.

Can see the stem is blackening since the root were disturbed by ants

Therefore, I strongly suggest for all who is into gardening to always check their plants. As they also need the attention and affection to grow in better health.
Till then, have a good time in gardening.

Spray vinegar on spot that cat like to mark to stop them doing so

For this past 2 weeks, we have been bombed with stink odor from cat pee which they do to mark their territory on our lab door.

This method already proven by my lab mate. As he have use it religiously for the past few months. Now, his shoe area and house is cat pee free already😉

Method: put the vinegar in spray bottle. Then spray the surface that cat always mark or poop there.
I choose this method as it is not harmful for my cats and safe for me also. Regardless the prickly vinegar scent😅
Feel free to try it also for weed control on your plants that being plant in a pot. As it would help your plants if it is use moderately. 

Till then, have a cat pee free zone💕

Kindergarten in gated guarded area?

I was astounded when saw the banner for this "Rent for Kindergarten". As myself unable to enter that particular housing area using my access card regardless in the same housing area. Also non residents have to register each time to enter the gated guarded area. 

It seems illogical and unpractical to be. But seems it does not for others.

Corner house in the end of the road for that housing area opposite my housing area

Other issue non related to the above:

I face a deadlock that day when I want to go out from my housing area that day. It was weekday. and around 12 pm. My car unable to go through at all although the exit is less that 50 meters and within line-of-sight. 

Can see clearly the lorry park horizontally and blocking the road. Plus the car that being parked at the side of the opposite road

I have to reverse and took other route in order to get out from the housing area

I do find it ridiculous and very selfish of the lorry driver. By right, they shouldn't block the road regardless they wanted to bring down any furniture or etc..That is not an excuse at all. Everyone should play their part to unblock any path especially main road. Try to imagine if there is an emergency. That would be disaster or even catastrophe. 

Example of selfish driver parking 2 bays in mart area today

I was going to buy some item in the mart before going to lab this morning. And to my dismay, this selfish driver is taking 2 parking spot in order to park his car. His car is not even as big as Toyota Vellfire.

View from back

He wants to park in front of the shop entrance

Need to learn to park accurately in order to stop troubling others with your lack of skills [1]

Can refer [2] how selfish the driver in details

It is really annoying regardless it the parking is not full that time. That shows the selfishness of the person is.

Hopefully, I would refrain from being such snob forever.

Till then, please park your car carefully and accurately in the parking lot😉

Harvesting pumpkin for the neighbour who already booked for almost 3 months

Finally today I manage to harvest a good nice pumpkin from my lawn for my neighbour. She already booked the pumpkin for almost 3 months.

As you can see, the largest one weight 985 gm. While the small one weigh 212 gm only. Basically, total I sell 1,197 gm for RM 5 today. Not bad for a fun attempt growing organic vegetables and fruits😉
Till then, have fun in growing organic vegetables.
