Then comes 21 dec 2012. The Maya's prophecy of apocalypse. Aint it jus that their calender ends, then the cycle repeats itself or jus time to make a new calender? Nasa scientists have more work to do probably. Gives pple a common topic to rave abt and the preppers a reason to celebrate when the prophecy fails. those who draw their last breath on d-day, it is indeed the end of one's world. Perception isnt it? Spiritually, emotionally or physically. End of one is the beginning of another anyway.
Dark clouds loom over the sky for most days of the month. Rainy season. Temperature dipped. A week ago, went strolling in the drizzle with dad. Botanist spotting plants. Mango, jackfruit, durian, and then a string of scientific names in chinese tho. Spotting camouflaged insects and birds, knowing that they are there after rain. Sugoi.
Why werent we taught in sch? Basic isnt it, prior to studying xylem and phloem. Gg micro without knowledge of identifying plants in real life by their leaves and flowers. If i wasnt in pri sch science club for a year, i wouldnt have known ixora, allamanda, oleander, spider lily, birds of paradise n the different types of ferns on rain trees n angsana trees. Cat tail, lotus and lily in the pond. Limited. All within the sch compound. But thats the only hands on. Text book pictures do not show the full picture.
Haha and then comment abt why didnt the officials plant more flowers, as there r mostly trees only, and no sculptures like gardens in europe. It is sg and not exactly a garden lo. They shld have more lasting metal plates with the plant names both english and chinese installed. The prints were fading and almost illegible alr. Great energy for a man his age.
We get a wkend before xmas eve and actual xmas day. Liven up the atmosphere with blinking lights and merry xmas classic songs. The tree in office is really pretty, kudos to those who decorate it. Even the office gift exchange occupy us for one of the lunches. Really do not understand the presentation part. Why cant we informed of our nos and then rush to get the xmas presents under the tree? Might have some logic behind but it really isnt explicit. Really cant understand. Then the following wk repeats with a new yr's eve and the new yr's day. Yay!
Prep for xmas and jus make a simple wish for a silent and peaceful night.
