  The Orchid Folios

  “When you take an orchid out of its pot, you must first loosen the roots’ hold on the soil. Late last evening as I unravelled the braids of the shattered phalaenopsis, I saw how the ends were white and shrivelled from neglect. You have to do it gently—it’s like combing hair. I remember Mum’s fingers running through mine, and mine through hers, until the final months when all of it started to fall.” 
   
   
  A pot shatters. An arrangement falls apart. A florist finds herself amidst the scattered leaves of history. At once a poetry collection and a documentary novella, The Orchid Folios reimagines the orchid as a living, breathing document of history: a history that enmeshes the personal, colonial, linguistic, and biotechnological with the Vanda Miss Joaquim, the symbol of Singapore’s postcolonial hybridity. While the Orchid has shaped the fantastical narratives that govern our multiracial City in a Garden, it continues to shape-shift and bloom on its own terms, challenging us to imagine a decolonised Singapore. This is the organism at the heart of The Orchid Folios—by turns stark and unruly, documenting and challenging the narratives that are the roots of our national consciousness.

  From critically acclaimed comedian Becky Lucas comes a funny, consoling and very candid collection of stories and essays about friends, enemies and figuring it out that establishes her as one of today's most original comedy writers. 
    
  There's no such thing as a perfect life, but there are perfectly hilarious moments. The best stories are often about the lowest points in our lives - the soul-crushing jobs, the bad boyfriends, the terrible holidays, the betrayals and heartbreaks. These are the stories I tell people to make them like me, but, more importantly, they've helped me learn how to like myself. 
  So this book is a collection of thankyous and acknowledgments: 
  * Thank you to an ex-lover who marvelled at the fact he could get hard with me, even though I wasn't up to his usual standard. 
  * Thank you to the coked-up real estate agent who, while lecturing me and my friend about the importance of travelling, fell down a flight of stairs. 
  * Thank you to the woman who approached me after a gig and told me she hoped her daughter wouldn't end up like me. 
  You've all taught me that you can't control who comes into your life or what happens to you, but you can decide just what it is you take from them.

  Bonsai: The art of not killing...

  Want to start your own bonsai garden?  
  Like me, maybe you're wondering how a tiny tree so perfectly replicates a wild tree growing in nature? 
  How can someone take such meticulous care of a living being that—due to its size—must be so delicate and sensitive? 
  Or how can a living tree survive in such a shallow pot? 
  Also, perhaps you're drawn to bonsai trees for their aesthetics, or to create a living legacy to pass down to the next generation, or even to broaden an existing horticultural skillset. 
  My intention with writing this book is to save you from going down the Google rabbit hole. With this book, you can go from a complete beginner to a knowledgeable bonsai grower in an easy-to-understand and logical order of steps. 
  All you need to do is follow this book from chapter to chapter as presented to you. This includes all the facts, info, procedures, and how-to’s that you need to cultivate your first bonsai tree and beyond! Most importantly, by following the advice in this book, you can sidestep the most common disappointments that most beginner bonsai growers face—killing their first tree (or, more often, their first, second, and third trees!). 
  This book covers every aspect; from the benefits of growing bonsai and its cultural and historical significance to the various types of bonsai trees, how to get started, where to obtain your first trees, the tools, and equipment that you'll need (as well as how much you should expect to pay). 
  Plus, you’ll learn all the practical skills you'll need to prevent your bonsai from dying, including planting, soiling, fertilizing, watering, styling, shaping, and pruning, repotting, and creating deadwood.
