What is this painting to you? Mountain scenery? Or grass patch with water background? Or is something else?
The painting was actually captured from this moldy concrete sculpture and fine-tunes it by Photoshop.
Nature is Art. Art is Nature.

Arches of the Golden Shower
These arches were cheerfully designed and display with massive Golden Shower Orchids. Oncidium Goldiana is the first hybrid produced by Singapore Botanic Gardens’ orchid programme in 1939.
It has two common names, Golden Shower and Dancing Lady.
The name, Golden Shower arises from the numerous blooming in striking yellow, looking like golden showers in a mass presentation.
The name, Dancing Lady arises from individual flower that looks like dancing lady dancing in her ballroom dress.
Anyone there would like to dance with her under the delightful arches, or just walk through and get showered by this vibrant flora?

A big bird cage in Orchid Garden
There is a bird cage-like green house in Orchid Garden, Singapore Botanic Gardens. It almost fully covers with lash green, and Orchids are the main actors in the cage. It is not very big in size but interesting in the concept.
Before you step in and become part of the birdie in the cage, there are many different kinds of Orchid welcome you at the doorway.
There is one fern tree right in the center of the core; act as a umbrella with a spreading arms, shading us from the sunny heat wave.
He is wearing a sock; with a branded name Orchid Renanthera, also call the Singaporeans.
And of course many other more, that belongs to the family of the Orchid Empire.

Dragonflies are generally larger and perched with open wings that are perpendicular to the body.
Compared to damselfly, its elongated body are much more flatter. The eyes are very close to each other.
Most of them can’t walk well, but it’s believed to be one of the fastest flying insects in the world.
Dragonflies are predators. They capture their prey in flight and prey on mosquitoes and other insects like bees, ants, flies, butterflies and moths just to name a few. But it is also subject to other predators like frogs, birds, spiders and even their larger counterparts.
Comparing to dragonflies, damselflies are generally smaller in size and look more fragile in appearance. Its body is long and skinny and usually ends with a dew form.
The wings are usually perch close and parallel to the body.
It is a weak flyer, eyes separated apart and they are predator too. Their food consumption is equally small as of the predator.
Both are closely related group of insects.

Another story about my mom and me
Down on memory lane, I recalled having high fever at the age of nine. Mom tried keeping the temperature down by using a straw fan. That was close to midnight, the lights was off but her hand was still moving. The cool breeze did not stop my heart from moving too. I told mom, “It’s alright, I’m fine, don’t have to worry about me..”
I saw tears welling in her eyes, even though the room was dark, but I could feel her sobbing in the darkness.
Till today, I can recalled the moment we touched each others heart so much. So much so that the offer of her un-returnable warm light keeps beaming. Just like the rising sun, giving us warm without asking for any returns. Treat your mother well; treat mother’s nature well.
Happy Mother’s day!
A road where a $10 memories are left behind – A gift for all mothers
This is an ordinary road behind my old house next to Canossian Eduplex.
I grow up here since I was an infant. When I was young, my family was not so well-off as my dad was the only sole breadwinner of the family. He worked as a carpenter to sustain a family of eight, this is tough with no further explanations.
For this reason, my mom had to do part time jobs to make ends meet. She did this by fetching and sending neighbour’s kids to schools. Getting a side income of $20 per month is better than nothing.
One day, she gave me $10 out of her precious $20. I was told that was my pocket money. Without much words, I saw an angel full of wriggles stand right in front of me!
It has been more than 30 years. Since then, this ordinary road has never been an ordinary road to me. Till to-date, my angel mom still leave me with so many memories that is priceless.
Today, I step on this gentle ground, seeing things remain unchanged. The rows of landed property; the roadside concrete drain that are over flow with wild plants; an authentic sport ground and most importantly and yearns for my beloved mom. For some, hearts and feelings may have changed. To me, my affection for that moment will forever remained.
Mother’s Day is around the corner. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all mothers. You are the greatest person in the world! Thank you for being the angel shading over your loveable kids with infinite love.
Evans Lodge
Evans Lodge is a student hostel that situated at 26 Evans Road. It is eye-catching as the exterior bear English bond brickwork makes the environment even more charming than ever.
The protruding portion of the building stands up to speak up for the architectural perfection.
With the enhancements of the vertical fins, it carries the upward language throughout the whole building without any doubts.
The proportion of brick wall, color of texture is just too perfect matching the eyes of human level.
