Be Puzzled...

Now that I've started scheduling posts, I realised how much I jump around, blogging things that interest me more before others, other times just wishing to forget certain events *ahem Kuai Zi* and then not blogging about it full stop. Other times, it takes motivation to dig up all these old photos and put them into a proper entry. Scheduling posts and releasing one everyday acts like a sort of motivation... just to see how long I can keep up this daily thing. It's been about two weeks already... I astound myself sometimes. Haha. 

Just a short one today, and nothing about food! D:

This is a puzzle that I bought my mum back a few months ago off ebay. She's been into jigsaw puzzles recently and it's definitely a good thing to encourage. Stimulating the brain by doing jigsaw puzzles, crosswords and sudoku etc helps delay the onset of disorders like dementia and Parkinson's. It's true: you don't use it, you lose it. Applies to lots of things.
It's been pixelated because its a mystery puzzle, and my sister said she wanted to make it when she comes back. Yea right, I highly doubt she'd have time to, with the baby and all. 

Babies grow up too fast. It's already grown this big mop of hair and vocalising meaningfully now. Sorry, I meant he, not it.

So this is what my mum's working on now. An insane sakura puzzle.

Compare the jigsaw piece size... the mystery one is 1000 piece. This sakura one is smaller in size... and is 2016 pieces.

Final product looks like this. Yeeeaa no, I don't think it's ever gonna get done.

Tiny tiny pieces that fit in multiple places, and most of the pieces look the same... =_= it's annoying. I think I got quite impatient (I tend to "help" my mum with puzzles, and she complained that I did most of the mystery one which I bought for her, haha... she can have this one to herself) and kinda gave up on it already. Now that my parents are away, it's just sitting there, almost half done, but I'm not working on it...

I suspect mum wants to come home to find it complete. No such luck, I've been busy doing house chores =(
