balcony

Long before anything has been decided, the balcony has already been decided upon. There will be a bird cage. A 'bird cage' is an understatement. While girls dream of walk-in closet, mine demands a walk in bird sanctuary. So here's the idea:

We cordon off a section of the balcony. In it, there will be a huge pot. In that pot, we plant a tree.

Yes. A freakin' tree.

Then we section off levels of the tree to form cages, HDB style. I have no idea how we're gonna do it. If we don't want a pot that is too high, we must find a type of tree which is small in size and do not have spreading roots. I'll leave Shuyi to settle that. But one concern I have is noise. I must find a way to seal off the incessant chirping!

Another side of the balcony will be used to plant some herbs and spices. We'll look for a huge flat pot for that purpose.

The 'giraffe's neck' is also done.
