Gardens
Such an inviting Amphitheatre
Botanic Garden Amphitheatre is part of the unbeatable attraction in this national park of Singapore. It is open to park visitors at all times but provides Orchestra occasionally. This spaceship-like stage is sponsor by Shaw Foundation. The curve lining of the roof is blend perfectly with charming wind and musical notes.
Whenever there is a performance, audience from all places gather here with their family, sit on the lawn, under the wonderful fresh air and enjoy the pleasure of the sound of music. Without any sound acoustic, playing music surrounding nature, this is the most original form of our heart beat!
The stage is surrounded with a waterlily pond, with beautiful flowers blooming all year round.
Frederick Chopin is always there to be a musical inspirer and guidance.
So, why would you want to turn his invitation down!
What kind of tree is not important anymore!
The tree in the picture has been discovered in the dense forest Gujarat, India.
According to the blogger coolguyramforyou, he claimed that this is a mysterious tree but not “Baobab” tree.
I know little about “Baobab” tree, but the most important attractions to me are, when you move yourself closer to look at the tree.
Sydney thanks him for sharing with us this great discovery and awesome post!
Do you agree with me?
What meal Watermeal should deserve?
Watermeal belongs to aquatic plants. Green in color, about 1mm in size, the flowers was as small as needle tips.
This little fairy owns 3 world record titles for the smallest plant in the world; smallest plant that can bloom flower in the world and the smallest seed and fruit in the world.
There are 9 to 11 species under the genus, Wolffia is the smallest among them, sizes from 0.4 to 0.9mm in length. The sizes of the seeds and fruits are as fine as salts.
On top of loosing out in size, environmental pollutions also make it tougher to locate them.
The next time you spot them, please offer them your gentle loving care, as this is the biggest meal they deserved.
Why leaves always come with pointed tip?
The shape of a leaf is just like human being, born of different kinds of shapes and sizes. Different shapes like round, sword, oval, heart, diamond and spoon etc. But, majority of the similarities are derived from the sharp pointed tip.
Why is it that most of the tips are pointed than others?
Reason being that when water drops on the surface of the leaf, it will be absorbed as much as so. The remains of the droplets will be discharged as fast as it can to save the leaf from rotting.
Nature has design the pointed tips for water to be channeled easily and disperse the extras as fast as it could be to the ground for the survival of other life.
Take a piece of cake just enough for yourself, and share the rest with others. This is the moral of the story that we should learn from nature.

Song of the Birdcage
Welcome to my embossed birdcage
It’s engraved with scenery of ivory
Crafted with sweetness of memories
How can I hold it without sharing?
How can I keep a vow within?
So I wrote a song
I wrote a note
I wrote a Blogging post
Birds hear that!
But not wings near that!
Welcome to my antique birdcage
No hanging price tags
No auction gag
Where do we find an old folks song?
When could we build a home sweet home?
Dancing in the wind
Dancing in the night
Dancing with cool red wine
Monkey hears that!
Monkey nears that!
Welcome to my empty birdcage
No more sorrowful songs
No more broken wings
No more contradicting feel of liberty
Where can I find him?
When can I fly with him?
He is not in the room
Not in Google map
Not on files piling up high desk
Can you see it?
Can you feel it?
That is our dream
Our birdie’s dream
