Garden Makeover

I’m feeling distracted today. I’m disturbed looking at my front lawn. I mean it’s just ok but not great. I’m terrible at gardening. I have no skills whatsoever and everything that I planted will die within the next few months..oh yes even cactus died on the hands of me!!! Most of my gardening n planting are done by bibik n mom. Infact while I was away on my holidays they revamp d whole garden and planted several species of plant and flowers. Not to be ungrateful..i love u mom but…uurrghhhh they’re so not me!!! How can I have ‘bunga kertas’ what do they call that in scientific terms??? Aarrrgghhh who cares…yeah how can I have that adorning my front gate??? Huhuhu…help!!! I am so in need of a professional landscaper.

My garden is just around 6 x 12 feet I guess..and so the thought of having water feature is way out of d question besides I wanted something easy to maintain. I already have an indoor courtyard with koi pond and there is no need to have more of those. I wanted something simple but nice at the same time it should leave an impact on my visitors and reflects a bit about the house owner..which is..simplicity!! I was actually thinking of getting rid of the grass and instead having those white pebble stones covering the ground and a few big vases of plants scattered around..hhmmmm but I really should consult the landscaper for more ideas.

I was hoping to get it done soon but I’m not sure how long does it take to complete a lawn of my size??? Perhaps I should visit Sungai Buloh soon to find a landscaper..well I should because until then I will have sleepless nite thinking about it!!!
