Greetings ASEAN Hivers, 
π§ Tropical Toasts πΉ
π¨βπ» Week #168 π©βπ»
August 18th β‘οΈ August 25th, 2025Β Β Β Life has been hectic lately, but this week I am trying to turn a new leaf with a new challenge for you ASEAN Hivers. This one is all about beverages, drinks, particularly the ones you make yourself. Hot or cold, blended, alcoholic or not, the choice is yours. Your recipe for a lemon iced tea or even a revolting medicinal bitter drink are equally welcome because diversity is why ASEAN Hive is awesome.
Β Β Β As with all recipes, a list of ingredients and their amounts is important for those hoping to re-create your drink at home. Appealing photography and a story always make a good challenge entry, so I hope to seem creativity that highlights the beauty and color of your drink(s) of choice. If it's a recipe you learned from your parents or perhaps something you prepare for your own children, all that is relevant information to include in your post.

Β Β Β I didn't expect to be hungry after reading all the challenge entries, but I certainly was. The winning entry's paratha triggered some cravings within me, but all the entries provided some insightful looks into their morning routine and vibes. Whether it be watering plants or a run to the market, we all have very different ways of starting our days, but we are certainly productive in the early part of the day.

Mornings start tenderly in this quiet neighborhood. After a short whispered prayer, I step onto the terrace and inhale the cool air brushing past the trees. Everything still seems half-asleep. Itβs calm, slow, and I take that as a blessing β a reminder that Iβve been gifted another day. Before anything else, I face whatβs left from the night before β a few dishes patiently waiting in the sink. It has become part of my morning routine to wash them, a gentle way of easing myself into the day.

Hope everyone is well. May Almighty Allah grant you all happiness and prosperity for a beautiful and healthy life, Amen.I have been suffering from a severe fever (Chikungunya fever) for the past three days. I am having severe pain in various parts of my body including my veins and arteries. So for the past two days I have not been able to get out of bed. Today is the third day, so although it is difficult, I have to choose walking for my health.
3rd Prize π₯ 4% Beneficiary

Every morning I do the same routine. One of them is to water the plants on the balcony. There are times that I would talk to them and voice out my concerns. Especially to the one that is not doing well. I would ask if it still wants to live or not. You know that if they are not doing good my boss would stress and blame it on me. By the way we have cut down the lemon tree. It still grows some new leaves but insects keep attacking it. The new leaves that would sprout wouldn't make it and would just dried up and disappear.
