For every flower that gets to full bloom, bursting into our life with its beautiful colours, there is another flower which will have its beauty extinguished like a flame in the wind. This is a picture of a flower found dumped in a styrofoam box of soil, snipped off in sacrifice such that its other mates will get to shine.

They are still very much beautiful.

Flower parade!

I didnt exactly mean for such a huge contrast between the colours but the results look not bad doesnt it? If you cant tell, it is actually of plants creeping up a wire mesh, taken upside down facing the sky, hence the large contrast. Erm, somewhere near Bugis Junction near the NLB I think.

They look like orange butterflies, suspended in motion. =) Taken in front of NLB front porch.

Family photo: The buds, the flower, the stems and the leaves. =)

This is taken from the flower shop which Jam and Dor bought their champagne roses from. There were a huge variety of potted plants in bloom during the CNY season being sold already. This pic is kinda dated le, it was taken after the chingay practice with Bel, Jam, Bee and Dor.

I cant rmb, are those supposed to bloom? Hmm, none were in bloom when I saw them. They still look cute though. =)

When it was still raining, overhead bridge.

My houseplant! Hee, if you are lucky, on warm days, you can smell the fragrance wafting from the plant. It has a tannine quality and smells of tea! =)

Plants outside void deck.

And photos taken at MacRitchie!

Canal by the bus stop outside the reservior. I had wanted to take a picture of the colour of the water in the canal. It took on the colours of the fallen leaves of shades of orange and browns. But I have come to realise I like this picture with its depth created by the canal going into the picture more. =)

Took this while standing on a bridge made of wooden planks.

And along the way to a bus stop, this creature was teetering around.

And the turtle!! I think it was Weiss who pointed it out to me. However, I missed the chameleon which Kelv told me was beside his leg for a moment. =( Still, the turtle is like so pretty!

And... There are also pics of Weiss and Dor posing on the park bench, which I have decided not to upload cox I am afraid Weiss would force me to play soccer for the rest of my life as revenge. Anyway, it is on Msn groups la. And I am sorry to say that I deleted the only front view pix of the pose. Sigh. ZR wasnt fast enough to capture that. Haha, still it was a fun moment for everyone.

Mum and Dad may be bringing me to the flower fair at Sentosa! ( I didnt know there is one, actually.) But still, whee!! =)
