    Considering the cost, yes ... because people will be hoping to spend less time on the link and are willing to pay for it. Try to time yourself carefully and go when it is less likely to be crowded, if you can ... between 1-5 am are best.

    Y'all please be extra careful on the roads as there is a huge rush for people travelling home to their families for Hari Raya celebrations. And expect the causeways to be horrendously jammed for the extra long weekend taking in Malaysia's National Day on the 31st. Be well and safe everyone.

    Dali & Van Gogh exhibitions Went to these at S$10 per today and if you are into Dali, this is amazing and brilliant. The Van Gogh exhibition was special - huge slides set to music and other special effects in vast spaces. Worth the special trip into Spore and since it was a Wednesday...

    With respect to everyone else's view, religious or emotional, I have never understood this need to preserve ashes. Yes, respect for the body of any human being and certainly not to allow disrespect to the corpse in any way, specially mutilation. But I was a witness to my mother's annual visit to...

    Hi Gf - broccoli is a temperate climate veg, so unlikely to do well here. 59sen a kg (non-organic) at Jusco, which is more expensive than other markets. Never tried capsicums before. Looked it up on the net and there is no reason not to try, since they love the sun. Get good seeds. Good luck -...

    Most welcome! If you explore how people with tiny apartments have managed to grow in pots/cartons/black garbage bags all manner of herbs, fruit and veg (and flowers, which I also love but do not prefer) and those with small plots have a wealth of trees and bushes, you would learn so much and...

    Not possible to marcot a papaya tree - soft bark, and so easy to grow [really!] no one has bothered to try. Certainly use the seeds from a good papaya. They should be dried a couple of days then planted - probably where they are to end up, since they hate being disturbed. Remove the weak...

    Actually, nothing unusual from what you wrote. In the first instance, you know they died because they lacked one of the essential ingredients: water. The other two are good soil and sunshine. Papaya plants are finicky, not at all enjoying the transplanting and culling - unlike the money plant...

    Oh well done! Five years ago I had a prolific chili padi which I had not myself planted. However you cut it back it came at you again gloriously putting out leaves, flowers and fruit. Here my three attempts at planting chillies [and one was already doing fine in a pot] were utter failures...

    Traditional planters say the tree planted from seed is "stronger" than a marcotted one. I do not care if this is true, being 61. Besides, my cousin planted a superb durian marcotted tree and it has been producing good fruit for more than 16 years ... how much more can you ask for? A...
