Girls and shopping! you can never think of what a girl ends up buying during aimless shopping tours. Friend (Nat) and I walked past this street stall showing vase with a plant and around the plant is decorated by different colour beads sized of glass marbles. Out of curiosity Nat touched it and went "OH !!! its slitery slimy!!" In this situation obviously the owner would use all his sales skills to tell us what they are and why they are like that and how miraculous they are to persuade us to buy it!
As a normal human female, of course we bought it but its really cheap. For HKD25, you get a pack of beads (looks like a pack of seeds), 2 bean shaped seeds and a welcome phone strap gift. All you need to do is pour all those beads in a vase and fill up the vase with water, the next day the little seed-like beads will become the size of a marble. Its the same idea with sago.
Supposedly the plant should grow in a week and the beads are the plant's source of water, we do not need to water the plant at all for 3 mths until the beads shrink. When it shrinks, we fill it up with water for it to grwo big again... this should go on for 2 years. This new life has become a very important person of my room because everyday i am waiting and waiting for it to grow. So far the seed has blown up but no plant yet! will update later of the progress...
