Orange Peel Orchid

It's a little over a month after Chinese New Year and leftovers overwhelm the tables.
Sealed containers of pineapple tarts, sugar cookies, samolinas, nestle cookies...
Lots more I don't know the English names of.
It's time to finish it all up.
Whoever said that you gain the most weight during Chinese New Year?

Another thing left over... the countless Mandarin Oranges!
Only problem with this bunch, the get mouldy really easily.

I've got a few baskets of oranges left over, and they're the type to eat, not the types you use to make house calls.
The monkeys and other animals near here must be getting a whole lot of vitamin C in their diet, if you know what I mean...
I've been eating loads of the fruit too...
Just look at my thumb, and you'll be able to see.
My nail is tainted orange from all the peeling.

Ok.. I sat peeling an orange and watching a little TV when I realised that I had created a little work of art.
It was an Orange Peel Orchid!
Pretty!


Oh k.. it looks a little like an Orange Peel Angel as well...
Anyway, what I'm really trying to say is...
Take time to notice the small things in life.
If we were actors and actresses in Reel life, then these small little things are the details.
We can see the main story, the big picture without the details, but it is so much less interesting...

Yea.. take it from someone who's not too 'big' herself...
