hallo hallo... i have been busy busy for the past few days... at least busy by my standards.... whoa!! lets begin....
went to chinatown last fridae... chinatown chinatown.. me and rach and aH Yi braved the scroching sun to walk the walk in Chinatown... wahaha.. yes it is incredilby hot.. so we spent a good deal of the time finding shade.. actually its my first time actually spending time exploring Chinatown.. most of the time i just passs by the place... i found it quite charming... lots of those old old chinese antique shops that i actually love... bought a really heavy birthday present and i am going back for more.... i would classify Chinatown in the same class as Holland V and Little India.. i just love little little shops in weird out of the way places.. are there anymore of these kinda shops.. oh ho do tell....
The Next day bright and early in the morning... i travelled halfway across the island, actually abit more but hey who cares..... to a wonderful nursery in CCK... the same one i toked bout in a previous post... i tot it was a wonderful place... it could be described as A Tillandsia Lover's Wet Dream...
(No offence ah Alvin.. hee hee) but it really is... its like this magical place where every airplant imaginable is hanging off almost every corner of the place... Heaven... it didn't matter if it was 34 degrees and mozzies nipping at my ankles, it was just Wow!... and for those of u who are Orchid Lovers
(i know there are plenty) there is a nice collection of orchids, fuzzy ones, small ones, strange ones, leafless ones... and there were bromeliads
(quite dangerous theese plants, beware the spines),lots of bromeliads.... seriously u all should go and visit... have a nice chat with Alvin and u might be prompted to grow some of these magical plants, Tillandsias not orchids... they don't take up much space and they don't need icky soil.. The Perfect Plant For An Apartment Dweller.. and i copyright that sentence... haha.. but seriously, no one should use taht sentence...
after visiting the place i felt inspired.. like its not very often u find a young person who is soo pasionate bout his plants...(
i felt really old saying that) i was somehow disillusioned by the attachment, that this industry really cannot make it (
that in itself is another story) but there is hope yet... so in addtion to that those who are plant lovers go visit this forum and join...
