X-Living in Bahagia - Chuck and the Bamboo Stalk

The fairytale story tells of a man named Chuck who was sent to the market one day by his wife to sell their collection of whiskey.

X-Building in Bahagia #34 - Shopping for Chuck's Bamboo

Chuck has finally fulfilled his bamboo dreams today.

The plants are going to be delivered on Thursday, so I'll put up some photos then.

I feel so excited about the bamboo. I'm growing bamboos!
