treasure find!

While cleaning the den this afternoon, I found a box of long-lost treasure! :D "Healthy balls" from one of Ronjie's Taiwan trips.


Lifted off the package insert:

Directions of Healthy Balls

Healthy balls was developed originally in Chinese Sun Dynasty (960-1127 AD) for Martial art purposes, and was later played by the imperial families after the improvement of the sound like roaring dragon and singing phoenix created by ramming each other with hands.

Practicing healthy balls every day is good for one's physical conditions and also relax ones mind.

One can put two or more balls in a hand, and turn them by fingers slowly at the beginning, then increase the speed and strength gradually.

(This could use a lot of grammar editing. :D)

pineapple 100715

Steadily growing... It takes 1.5-2 years for pineapples to flower and fruit! Tagal pa! This one has not yet even been in existence for 6 months.

Some information from Wikipedia: "The pineapple is a herbaceous (has leaves and stems that die down at the end of the growing season to soil level) perennial (lives for more than 2 years) plant which grows to 1-1.5 meters (3.3-4.9 feet) tall with 30 or more trough-shaped and pointed leaves 30-100 centimetres (1-3.3 feet) long, surrounding a thick stem. The pineapple is an example of a multiple fruit: multiple, helically-arranged flowers along the axis each produce a fleshy fruit that becomes pressed against the fruits of adjacent flowers, forming what appears to be a single fleshy fruit. The fruit of a pineapple are arranged in two interlocking helices, eight in one direction, thirteen in the other, each being a Fibonacci number."

Earlier today pala I saw a moth-like insect by the MRT station.

Is this a moth?
