The Journey Has Ended & I Have Returned

ok guys its been a long time since i had the time to blog proper so here a blog proper... the reason why i have time to blog is coz i am on block leave.... which is becoz i just finished BMT... hurray hurrah... but remember i still have about a year plus plus of NS to go... colour me Pessimistic...

well anyways.. lets not focus on the NS bits... oh i noe all of u are curios on wat goes in camp, like hows the training or hows the sergeants... blah blah... there nothing special in camp.. and oh one more thing... i didn't see any ghost.. so moving on...

oh u noe i did lots shopping... not clothes sadly (that will be coming soon) but other stuff... i have been buying lotsa airplants.... from TillandsiaBiotope... too much i think but hey these plants are addictive.. seriously like there so many shapes and sizes and forms.... gah! its not a hobby! its an addiction! oh and i really like this lil' plant called catopsis.. its a bromeliad but its tiny.. ok not so tiny but around the size of ur computer mouse... really cute...

oh more botanical mayhem! went to the Botanic GArdens Plant sale! and bought this really beeg vine/shrub plant thing.... Strophantus prussii or something i can't really remember the name.. but the cool thing about it is that the flowers have extended petals which well extends to long purple hairs... so the whole plants looks like it has a beard or someone popped lotsa party poppers on it... real kool... but the hairs/beard things get tangled wen the wind blows... but still real interesting....

oh just so happens that the ORchid Society Of South East Asia had a meeting and the had some plants for sale...and one of the plants they had was a jewel orchid! for those who do not noe a jewel orchid is one of the most beatiful plant there is... unlike normal orchids which have green leaves, these orchids have dark brown/purple/green leaves which are laced with golden & iridescent veins... very very beatiful... it sparkles in the sun... and it was a steal, it was only 10 dollars... and it was a Macodes petola... one of the prettiest... but now i'm scared of killing it... but hey i'm a horticulturist for gods sake i should be able to take of this plant... but still scary lah... hee hee... but u have to see it urself its very pretty.....

from botanical mayhem to some literary ones... i bought a bunch of books... and received a really big one.... but i really want o but that Tim Burton book about the oyster boy... seems i have to make my way to Kino this week...

tomolo's agenda..... I'm going to the NAtional LIbrary!!!!!!! wahaha!!!! so goods night ya'll... i'm tired already....
