Garden city on the coins
1-cent coin – Singapore National Flower, Vanda Miss Joaquim, a special hybrid orchid.
5-cents coin – The Fruit Salad Plant (Monstera deliciosa), a dark green heavy foliage climber.
10-cents coin – The Star Jasmine (Jasminum multiflorum), a slender climber with pure star-like flower.
20-cents coin – The Powder-Puff Plant (Calliandra surinamensis), medium size shrub with hemispherical pink color headed flower.
50 cents coin – The Yellow Allamanda (Allamanda cathartica), a vine that blooms trumpet-like bright yellow flower.
$1 coin – The Periwinkle (Lochera rosa) small shrub with single stem, produces flowers in velvety purple.
Don’t you feel rich to have a garden city on a coin? Perhaps, that’s my other reason for loving our local currency.

Sydney always feel so embarrass to express himself that he really seldom read every single post of all his followers.
Sydney always felt neck and shoulder so stiff and numb.
‘You can’t go on this way! Blogging has affected you daily, please slow down and do within your ability!’ This was what my body told me!
That was why I lately focus more on my primary job and my hobby reading.
Marsha, you are really a very sweet lady that Sydney will never forget you!
Talk next time! Take care! 🙂

Nobody reads every single post. I have 412 up on this blog alone. Who has that kind of time? I don’t either. I just read as much as I can, and comment a little bit when I can. Then my favorites write to me, and we talk through my archives notification box. You are definitely one of my favorites. I don’t get your lovely music or pictures through this little blue text box, though! 🙂

Thanks for sharing how you handle those Blog, Marsha.
I still need some time to figure out how to balance my job and blogging.
No matter what, you are always my sweet lady!
