Unfortunately, the weeds in our herbs garden grows at an alarming rate. In just a week, it was as thought our herbs garden has disappeared and in its' place lies a tropical rain forest which has materialised out of no where. Needless to say, weeding was an unimaginably tedious chore, and we were all glad once it was finally over and done with, though weeding was only the first task of many more to come.
After we weeded our herbs garden, we arranged the tiles we had gotten from Sungai Buloh on Friday to make a walkway which cuts across both sides of our herbs garden vertically and horizontally. Making these walkway goes beyond just plunking down the tiles in a straight line. We had to make sure that all of the tiles were places on even ground, and if the ground wasn't even, well, it was up to us to make it even. That explains our soil-covered hands after making the walkway. Also, we had to make sure the tiles were nicely arranged in a line as straight as possible.
If you think that's the end of it all, you're mistaken. We still had to put fibre in every nook and cranny of our herbs garden which didn't house a plant or have a tile lying across it in order to slow down the growth of tjose pesky weeds. This task was simpler compared to making the walkway, though Elsa claimed to be allergic to the dust found in the fibre as she couldn't stop sneezing and her body itched. We didn't have enough time on Monday to get everything done, which was why Eishatur, Angela, Siti Sarah, and Atikah had to be excused from class for about half an hour the following day to finish up the task of covering the second half of the herbs garden with fibre.
All that drama was worth it in the end, though. Those visitors from Bandung thought that our herbs garden looked more than just 'presentable', which boosted our ego just a little bit.
