Been a really hard at work this month and seriously need a good break but not so soon until all is over and done. I can only afford a short one for now, today, so I decided to do something to break the ice before getting back to work again.
This is it! I am taking some time off to talk about this project I am curently embarking on – Wheatgrass Project… LOL. What on earth would I want to grow wheatgrass?! Not something I thought of doing but it all started when I visited the petshop in my neighbourhood recently and stumbled upon this box of instant DIY wheatgrass growing kit. I thought it was funny as it is meant for cats! I do not know what struck me at the time but the next thing I thought to myself was, why not?? Why not give it a try?! Life is too short not to try something new, right? I mean, I have seen my cat, Bebe, eat grass outside the house compound before but I really have no idea how much she would approve this idea of home-grown wheatgrass! If she is not going to eat it I will keep it to myself then! Nothing to lose, really. 
Day 1 : Preparing the ground and welcome the seed of greatness
Got the ‘ground’ ready in the plastic tray and down all the wheatgrass seed.
Was hoping that she would be impressed by it but no, she was not at all!
Everyday I watched and waited anxiously for the first baby to shoot out of the ground.
Day 2, patiently waiting and smiling at the seed.
Day 3, nothing happened at all so I started to doubt it was going to work.
Day 4, started to feel a bit upset and thought to myself, “Did I get the steps all wrong??”. Almost at the verge of giving up already but still hoping for miracle to happen.
Day 5, too busy with work, out to client’s place and came back home really late at night – totally forgot about my wheatgrass.
Out of the blue, the most amazing thing happened!
Day 6, I saw something green sprouting out of the ground! Overjoyed!
Day 7, the first sprout grew taller. Doubly-overjoyed!
Day 8, more babies were coming out to receive the light! Triply-overjoyed!
Can’t wait for more!!
Days went by and here comes Day 13, today.
See that?? They are growing taller and increasing in number, so much so that I have already lost count on how many of them now!
They are growing quickly, so is my hair. I need a haircut soon.
