Kadupul Bloom, Duck Craving

Lehan Edirisinghe

Noted a rare Kadupul cactus in the garden, once offered at a Buddha statue. Remembered Bingo eating a baby cactus, then watched smoked duck and Boba Fett

The image captures a small garden area with various plants and garden tools. In the foreground, there are two brooms leaning against a rusted metal structure, perhaps part of a swing or drying rack. Next to them, a white bucket is placed on the ground. The garden is set against a brick wall, providing a warm, earthy backdrop. Several potted plants are visible, including a large tree with some epiphytic plants growing on it. The scene suggests a casual, well-used garden space, likely maintained regularly. The lighting is natural, indicating it might be daytime, with gentle sunlight illuminating the area. The setting conveys a sense of tranquility and simple outdoor life.

The Kadupul Flower Blooming in the Home Garden

3:30 p.m.

This is our Kadupul Flower. It is a type of cactus. It is also known as the Queen of the Night. You see it in Crazy Rich Asians. It's indigenous to Sri Lanka. We're very lucky it is in our home garden. It blooms just once a year. A beautiful flower blossom. My mum and me offered it to Buddha statue once.

Breaking and Cleaning the Mosquito Net

3:45 p.m.

I accidentally broke the mosquito net. I tugged it or the fan hit it by mistake.

Anyway, Manju is now cleaning it. She says you can wash it, but I don't know. Maybe with a sponge they will soap and dry it. Lee Kuan Yew wrote Chairman Mao Zedong had this Rolls Royce, and when they got the carpet dirty, after visiting a factory, Mao said they had a special shampoo to clean it properly.. I am a bit scared of mosquitoes for now.

They can hoist it up by a small hook soon.

It may have been Deng or another Chinese head of state, I am not sure.

I can call SLT Mobitel, ask for an unlimited data package now.

Remembering When Bingo Ate the Pet Cactus

4:00 p.m.

I once went to the plant festival, i like plants, I had a snake plant in my university flat room, which Pauline Weiss killed, and when I was very small during the plant exhibition, I looked around, and I saw all the plants, and I decided, I'd adopt a baby pet cactus!

It was a small cactus in a pot.

I didn't want to keep it in my room as there's not much sunlight, and stuff, so, I kept it outside to sunbathe, near our house giant marble pillar columns.

Lo and behold, when I came home from school (office), I was so sad to see it had been eaten.

My golden retriever, Bingo, he had eaten it.

I was so sad.

The president, defense secretary and army commander are all happy to sign deals, but the US principals didn't want to be cool or send any letters to the customer, so the Russians and Chinese signed $500 million plus in deals and they disqualified the US vendors!

Taking a Script Break With The Longest Yard

(b)

I'm exhausted, I take too much energy to write my script, I will take a break today, I will just watch Peter Segal's The Longest Yard.

He's one of my most favorite directors, equal in glory to greats like Stephen Spielberg, James Cameron or Quentin Tarantino.

50 First Dates, Anger Management, and my favorite: The Longest Yard, they may not have high ratings, or have Oscars, but they are prized, beloved, adored.

Remembering Exceptional Smoked Brisket in Singapore

9:45 p.m.

I like his YouTube! Very cool! I hope one day I can earn the honor of friendship.

I remember, I was in Sunset Way, in Clementi, nearby Holland Village, nearby Singapore Institute of Management, in Singapore, I happened upon this BBQ joint--they gave me smoked beef brisket.

It was just the most delicious thing I ever ate.

I ate it so slowly.

It looked small. Just 3 x small slices of beef. Or it was 5 x slices. It was so long, although, somewhat thin.

I ate it slowly, because it tasted so good, like chocolate, caramelized meat.

Only thing better is Bacon Bakkwa by Bee Chiang Heng, I guess.

I got so full after 2 x strips, I couldn't eat any more.

After you go brisket, you never go back.

MISSION CONTROL: Hello, Major Jon?

MAJOR JON: Hi! You remembered me!?

MC: Yesterday, you foolishly encouraged it, with Liking his old jokes about me, and now--

JON: He won't shut the f-ck up! I know, I know, he even jokes about "trapping" me in his f-cking dungeon, in some kind of kitchen--

MC: Hehehe that was funny..

JON: Did you see that?

MC: Major Jon, EVERYONE saw that.

JON: Saw his lame, pathetic dad joke?

MC: "If you can't stand the heat,

get out of the kitchen".

JON: "A tear. No. Tears built up".

MC: "Are you finally going to let me out?"

JON: Amanda was scared, this psycho had written, "oh they didn't know what he looked like, nobody knows what he looked like, so they couldn't find him".

MC: I strongly, in the strongest possible terms, on behalf of the state department, I advise you NOT to go there.

JON: Careful, don't say State Department, Jeez, every f-cking day, "state department, state department, state department", "you people gave $100m, no, $500m bucks to China, cause of you people, Russia won, China must've paid the State Department $100m to do it!"

MC: A textbook, psychopath.

JON: "RUDOPLH THE RED NOSED REINDEER"

"HAD A VERY SHINY NOSE"

"AND IF YOU EVER SAW HER-- "

MC: Knock it off, Al Wasserberger might hear you.

JON: Huh?

MC: I think your circuit's dead.

JON: Can you hear me, Craig?

Tell, Amanda, I...

MC: I can hear you now.

JON: Oh, really? Cool...

MC: So, does Lehan know your age?

JON: Nah, I don't think so, he must think we're in our 30s or 40s or something

MC: I saw he is 27.

JON: Yeah, he's on the clock for Forbes 30 under 30.

MC: He's racing the clock for 20 to life

JON: He has some life expectancy problem, he thinks 40 years tops or something

MC: What really? How long do snakes live?

JON: 20 to 30 years.

MC: That's just about right. The anaconda, which he says is a Sinhala word, it lives up to just 10 years.

JON: Inland taipan is 10 to 15, Lehan's more venomous.

MC: Serpent in the bible.
