My next garden project is a reflexology walking path. I had been talking over the plans with my colleagues and am trying to get funds for it. The fund as of writing time stands at RM161. Yesterday evening, I went with Asiah to check out the reflexology stepping stones that are sold at a nursery. Both of us have set our sights on the daisy shaped design. One 1 foot by 1 foot slab costs RM13. The people at the nursery said that if we buy more than 20 slabs, they'd charge us RM12. What I have in mind is a number 8-shaped path. You know me, being Chinese, I love the number 8 as it is auspicious. From initial estimation, I need at least 30 slabs which means I need at least another RM199.
