My maternal Grandma came to visit our stall, and she is quite of a blessing to our stall as many people who find her face familiar came over to buy a few stalk of flowers to show their appreciation to her.

Now a debrief for helping my Mum for the past 2~3weeks. I learnt quite a lot of lessons and overcame quite a lot of my personal boundaries. So here are the lists of things I've learnt:

1. How to overcome my Anthophobia(Fear of plants)

2. To love your enemies (I won't mention who)

3. Some skills that Mum imparted to me
4. Understand old folks (though there is still room for improvement)

5. To understand that the heart is more important than the appearance(I shall elaborate)

I would like to elaborate on the last point. The folks around that vicinity might be rather aged, but most of them are actually nice people. Some are really so lively and energetic even at an age of 80, but are able to walk on two feet with a straight posture, accompanied with their warmth (there's one who advise me to sleep and eat enough so I can grow up well which I thought was very thoughtful for an old lady like her).

Back to the first pointer, I would like to appreciate my sister for aiding me to overcome my Anthophobia. I no longer fear Carnivorous plants, what more normal flowers like orchid and roses. I remember a month back I was so fearful of such flowers that I would immediately shiver in sweat. The orchid looked like a face with its tongue stucking out in my face; the roses seem to be hiding something sinister under its petals; the Pitcher plant looked hungry for me with a long throat and a deadly mouth, speaking to me the words "I want to eat you". You wouldn't believe it is the Mark you know, would you? Looking back, I really feel very ashamed of my own childishness in the way I think.

The other time I thought I overcame the fear, yet somehow it relapsed again. However this time it shall never re-occur again. I finally understood; It is perception that is deceiving me. How I look at the flower at a certain angle give me a certain image. If you suspend the picture of the plant 180degrees, it become like a new species, but it is the same one in fact. Those ghost films make use of this technique too; simply placing a normal-looking face in suspension downwards; yet the eyes that seem to stare at you will freak you out. Here is an example:

Here is the right side up... now the suspension:

This applies for life too. As long as you look at certain situation at a different perception, you will find that certain obstacles are actually not that hard to overcome; certain impossibilites might become possible. This fear that I overcame might seem very amusing to you guys, but to me it horrified me deeply. I tried as much a possible not to stare at a flower in case it come and "talk" to me. But in reality, this does not happen at all! Also another lesson to learn: fear is False-Evidence-Appearing-Real indeed. If it were not my Sis who also remind me that God made all the plants, I would have continued to fear them. This is a deception from the evil one definitely, that made me so fearful of God's very own creation. He created everything for a purpose ain't it?

However my mum was surprised why I wasn't afraid handling with the two new toads that we bought two days ago. Probably each has his own fears to overcome.

By the way I found some very interesting things in the market. Look at this fire extinguisher:
