My friend was feeling down and homesick (she's far far away in Perth), so I went surfing around for fun things she can do. Came across this 'wheel of new things to do':

I gave it a spin, see what I got as my Today's Challenge:
Grow an avocado
Open the avocado and remove the seed. Rinse and blot dry. Carefully push three toothpicks into the thickest width of the seed. Suspend the seed over a glass filled with water. The water should cover the base of the seed by about 5cm. Place the glass on a bright window sill and within three to eight weeks a sprout should emerge from the top of the seed. Then you are ready to plant your avocado in a pot.
Errm...can we grow avocado in Malaysia? Oh well...
CH, hope this will keep you busy :) Cheer up k?
