I suddenly wondered what do the different kind of flowers meant and started googling...found this website which has flowers in alphabetical order and their respective meanings, but no photos of them. So I decided to start on a mission to google image everyone of them, well almost...spent half an hour and still only at 'b'. I think this project will probably take a few days. While I was looking for the images of the flowers, I can't help but feel awed by the beauty of God's wonderful creation (apart from standing in front of the mirror...haha, :P Jokin lah...). But seriously, I think flowers are the most beautiful, delicate, elegant exquisite, gorgeous, handsome (checked the thesaurus one) of all God's crafts. There are hundreds and thousands of different flowers, with almost as many different colours, revealing God's unlimited creativity in his art.

I've always been fascinated by flowers, since young, and its my dream to own a flowershop business. After coming into NParks, I realised there are even more professional terms for people who deals with flowers, they are called floriculturists and floral artist. I love flowers, words can't express my feelings when I see beautiful flowers. It's like my heart flutters and happy hormones in my body starts stimulating my happy muscles all over my body to behave happily.

Plain talking is not enough, so I've finally managed to sign up for floral art courses, which cost a bomb!!! But its worth it. Imagine the many things I'm gonna learn about flowers... Then I can arrange flowers for church commmunion already...then church wun have to spend on overpriced flowers anymore!!!(have always felt that flower shops overcharge). In my flower shop, people will get to choose what they want, and I turn it into a unique piece of art. People who are interested, I can teach them to tie the bouquet themselves. I will be friendly, helpful to people who dun know what they want, instead of just standing there pulling a long face (so totally dun match the mood of the flowers) I will be gentle with the flowers, instead of strangling and grabbing them like what seasoned florists would do, flowers can get hurt too. And most importantly, I wun over charge. Poor handsome men should have a chance to be romantic too...

Ok, that's all for today. Hope I will be in a beautiful hanging garden of Babylon in my dreams (strolling with my love would be good) haha...

Preparation for the mini-tri
Hai...wanted to upload more pictures of the OSIM tri, but then my lappie top suddenly dun recognise the external device. Technology...always so unpredictable, always so cranky. Dun understand why some people can have the patience and discipline to faithfully upload picture by picture unto their blogs...

Anyways, while waiting for my hair to dry, I'm thinking hard about what to write. Oh my gosh, it's almost 3am!! Dunnoe what's got into me. hmmm, nothing exciting in my life to write about leH...how how how??

Let's talk about my dreams and fantasies then. I want to travel round the world like how the travellers in travel and living channel go around places, no frills or watsoever, off the beaten track, just to get in touch with the real native people and culture. Isn't that fascinating. The top 10 places which I want to go and havent been to are (not in order of priority):
1) New York (I want to spend my Christmas here!)
2) Machu Picchu (I want to experience its rich history)
3) Iceland (I want to take my wedding photos here and stay in the Ice Hotel)
4) Italy (I want to eat truffle mushrooms and visit the Alps)
5) Israel (I want to experience realness of the places stated in the bible)
6) Maldives (I want to come here for a romantic getaway)
7) Brazil (I want to experience the rich culture)
8) Galapagos Islands (I want to understand Charles Darwin's theories here)
9) Yosemite National Park (I want to trek in beautiful nature)
10) Turkey (I want to experience the exotic culture and food)

Of course there are others, but these are the hardest to fulfil...Guess I can only experience these places in my dreams...which I am going to do now. *eyes closing*.
