Cannot do this in Singapore because...

Most of us are amateurs when it comes to anything that has nothing to do with our full time job. It stands to reason.

However, even if we spend hours each day doing something, we might not be very professional about it. So, we could remain amateurs. This stands to reason too.

AK is an amateur this and an amateur that in retirement. 

I do the things I enjoy but I am not necessarily good at them. 

It is about having fun and not making a living. 

So, I am not going to set professional targets or high standards. Just thinking about doing this is stressful. 

Naturally, this is how I treat gardening as a past time too. For an amateur gardener, I think I have done OK.

To be honest, it is probably because I have mostly chosen plants which are easier to grow. 

Yes, AK is a lazy fellow and always likes options which have lesser resistance.




A friend told me that it is too difficult to grow Lavender in Singapore because the weather is too warm.

Then, a friend told me that it is impossible for Lavender to flower in Singapore because it is too warm.

I would need to have a cool environment like in the Flower Dome in Gardens by the Bay for Lavender to bloom.


I told him I didn't know that and, by the way, I think my Lavender plant might just be flowering:

Some people tell me that they can never achieve financial freedom in Singapore. It is impossible because it is just too warm hard.

This final photo was taken moments ago this morning:

OK, maybe, AK is just lucky.
