Of Time and Love

Hello, it's been quite some time. 

In April, I gained a deeper understanding of what Love is.  I have always wonder why and how I love some people so easily and unconditionally, like my child, but I struggle with defining how much my love is for the rest of people dear to me.   Finally, it took an incident in April, to illustrate what it means by love is an action.  Some say that love is selfish, but I disagree.  What I found out is that love is giving.  It is enlightening to finally know the true meaning of these words.    

Then from end April to end of this week, it is busy times (exams and business trips).  Time, is a difficult concept.  Is it totally natural, when mother earth goes religiously around its sun? Or is it man made, self imposed to restrain and restrict one's journey through mother earth?  Each of us has 24 hours in a day.  How do one make the choice of what is the priority in one's current stage in life.  Other than exam and career, what is my priority now?  Love, I have given; love I am not seeking now.

And I try to practise graciousness.  Again it is about choices, how we choose to conduct ourselves.  I pick graciousness, you pick righteousness; I spread love, you spread meanness. 

Ha!  This is one of my most philosophical post to date!

Week 5 and 6

Garden's by the Bay - March 2016 - Cherry Blossom (I)

Things settled down after 2 weeks of normalcy.  I had wanted to go GBTB the weekend before, but that did not materialize.  Finally we went on Good Friday holiday. 

It was crowded, as expected.  Due to the crowd, the limited number of tress on display, and the indoor lighting, the photo styles are quite restricted - close up (single tree or single flower) and upward view (else you get a lot of people in the background).  Well, looks like got to go for the real stuff, to satisfy my flower craze.  Looking forward, but no near date yet..

(I) Bayfront MRT - playing with the mirrors.

(II) On the way.  Sunny is bad for staminal and comfort, but great for pictures.  Here's my fav of the day:

(III) In the flower dome.  Very interesting variety of cactus

(IV) Some temperate flowers, before the Cherry Blossom area 

 

(V) The star attractions:

Gardens by the Bay - March 2016 - Cloud Forest (II)

It's always a relief whenever we visit the much cooler Cloud Forest after squeezing with the crowd at the Flower Dome.  Lynn (kids) prefer this dome, as she can walk down the track, and play with the mist.  I like it here too; the luscious green mountain feels very natural.
