Wow...its amazing how even a human can turn deliciously golden-brown, just like french fries...I got slightly sun-bathed again yesterday when I went to Pasir Ris Park by myself to go look for this particular seed-that-looks-like-a-wooden-flower to use in my sculpture (I still have yet to identify the name of the plant from which that seed comes from, though...) and as I walked part of the length of the beach I started to worry about my skin colour again..as it is the melanin contents in Malays cause us to remain that colour once we attained it (like, once you get dark, you can't get back to the lighter skin colour you had before that), unlike the Chinese skin where they can still miraculously revert back to their original skin tone even after a sun-tan...no fair...I'm not being racist, but it simply is true...

So under the fluorescent light bulbs of my study area right now, I do look like one human-sized, nice, delicious piece of well-cooked McDonald's french fries.

Nyahaha. *Sigh*.

Actually I had wanted to ask one of my classmates to do the 3D model of our abstraction together with me today, but 2 of the people I had in mind both hadn't completed their abstraction yet...so my tasks for today only include scanning, printing, making Powerpoint Presentation, taking pictures with my digicam, uploading, planning. Yup.

Yeesh. So annoying. And just when I thought I was lagging behind at that...

Aishah is caught in a dilemma right now. She hates to go back on her words, but she can't keep them anymore. She wants to have a change, to be more flexible. How does she deal with this?

Oh, and I kick-started my digital plant library yesterday too, while at the beach. And here's my favourite picture-of-the-day:



It's so pretty, right, right? I love it! The moment I caught sight of the colourful flowers I set my mind to walk through the tall-grass patch to take a picture of the Frangipanni plant. It looks like a shrub of some kind, but is actually a tree. Just like how the Traveller's Palm is not a palm, but a tree (*so* weird! The name is Traveller's PALM!!) By the way, the famous Traveller's *Palm* that's easily found at Raffles Hotel and along Downtown East actually comes from Madagascar, thus its scientific name being Ravenala madagascariensis. So there are plants out there that have singaporiensis as their second name in scientific terms owing to it being founded in and native to Singapore. For example the Kerinting plant from the Palmae family (i.e. its a palm) has its scientific name as Rhopaloblaste singaporensis. Cool huh? Fun things we learn here as DLA students...haha...
