My First Terrarium
This Fittonia Albivenis plant is a gift from my department: plant, bottle and all. It is supposed to be a terrarium but the original plants rotted away. My wife thought that it was because I wet the leaves too much. (I followed instructions blindly).
The plants in the picture are replacement. Now, I have no heart to cover the plants anymore so I just treat them like normal potted plants. They have grown so much that they are fighting with the glass wall for space.

The flesh is weak
Yesterday, I took a cab home after attending an election rally. The cab driver taught me a Cantonese saying: “讲话天下无敌,作起事来有心无力” which pretty sums up how he felt about the election. To him, all the politicians speak convincingly but he is not swayed by speeches, he looks at actions. He pointed to the rows of election posters and said that almost all the PAP posters were on top of the opposition. All have the same starting point. Everybody knew when was the nomination date but it was the PAP who acted first and they secured all the more prominent positions.
Though, I am a Cantonese, this is the first time I heard of the saying. Translated literally, it says “Speak like a champion but when comes to work, the flesh is weak.”
