Bryce Canyon, Completed!

At last! We have completed our second set of more than 500-pieces Bryce Canyon puzzle - the first was the Grand Canyon - after just 2 days of battling the pain in the eyes and patience in locating the correct pieces to their rightful place. YF's family came to visit us this weekend, and so, we had helping hands and eyes to put the pieces together :)
One missing piece, but luckily we found it hiding in the stack of old newspaper, phewPlace the FINAL piece and we get the completed set!

Dried Up and Beautiful

It had been a month past since YF receives her roses. Actually, they only lasts for about a week. She had dried them up since then. Amazingly, she transformed them from fresh-looking beautiful roses into a delicate work of art. They are still looking remarkably great. I couldn't resists taking some pictures of them just to share them here haha :) I used to think flowers are costly and they could not last long with their fresh look. Well, that is still true, just like our lifes keep changing every now and then. But, we could always choose to make the best out of the changes and they could definitely turn out to be as beautiful as before.

Here I am, admiring YF's personal flower :p We got this during our trip to IKEA some time ago. It was just a small plant, mostly green leaves and a handful of violet flower. Look at it now. Gosh.. what a big change, before and after. Too bad I don't have a "before" shot to show the difference.
Oh, meet Sean's pet :p
