i love orchids! i think they are the prettiest of all flowers.
went out with my mother today. its so rare! finally, we get to spend quality time together without other irritating interferences. yeah. anyway, accompanied her to suntec city for the Singapore Garden Festival. the orchid part only actually. woooh. its damn big. there's like thousands of orchids, hundreds of species, all over the place. there's even competitions held to find the most unusual hybrid those sorta thing. ohh. love the landscaping competition. organisations have to use orchids to make this special design/landscape. damn interesting lar. saw this school making a
christmas tree out of white orchids. very pretty! snapped many pictures with my handphone. maybe i'll upload 'em. surprisingly, it is those really weird, often quite ugly looking orchids, that won the competitions! those really pretty ones are more common i think. ohwell. my favourites are the orange, red and white-purple ones!
anyway, manned the booth awhile for my mother. during that short time, two people who passed by asked me questions lar.. zzz. luckily i pay attention to what my mother usually say to those people. yeah. managed to pass off as an orchid-savy person. hahaha.
after that we went to starbucks to get our much needed coffee. gave in to temptations and shared a choco muffin. haha.
it was dinner at this malay restaurant after that for this dinner hosted by OSSEA, this orchid organisation. the food was weird. every dish is spicy. they are mostly meat. the appetiser was satay! haha. quite boring actually.. mostly those people in the whatsat called, plant industry?! haha. still, reached home with a bloated stomach. argh.
alright. starting work on monday, at OG orchard. don't know why isit called that when it really is at somerset. ohwell. people! bring your parents there and buy a chocolate fountain!! just imagine, melted chocolate cascading down, and you dipping marshmallow or whatnots inside. haha. tempted? please buy from me.. T.T
ahh. and i still haven't buy what is needed of the dresscode!
