In-depth Botany.

yaay. they've expended botanical gardens!
its bigger, wider, and more gargantuan then ever now!

lolz. Went to botanical gardens to run, but ended up having to jog slowly, coz my calf muscles still ached from yesterday's gym training...

It was really beautiful though, the sun wasn't scorching or blazing, and all the plants were cast in soft shadows..

I could just sit at the Eco-Garden lake for like a few hours and stare at the black swans squabbling with each other or smell the little herbs that grew in the spice garden...

Amazingly, there was almost nobody (cept the gardeners) in the entire vast Eco-Garden... As far as the eye could see, it was like just you-me-and mother nature...


I lost my strength to jog by the time I reached the end of the Eco Garden (which I think its about 3-4 km), so I walked slowly back to the Tanglin gate...

I saw something really nice on the way back... it was 2 guys... I'm not sure what school they were from, but they were definitely from secondary school, coz the senior had long pants and the junior was wearing the short version..

The senior was brooding, and quite lost in thought... then the junior muzzled (I can't find a better term to use) into his arms and poked him until he laughed and both of them were rolling on the grassy hill...
I was about to run over and stop them from rolling into the Symphony lake, coz they were like really close to the lake - when something they did stunned me..

The junior rolled on top of his senior and kissed him..

*stun*
*blink*

That was in wide-open view of the public, (mostly tourists around the area).. but nobody else really bothered...

Then the senior caught my eye and started nudging his junior, embarrassed.... The junior's face had an indescribable expression on.... (maybe embarrassment too)

... I just smiled at them and jogged away...

at the corner of my eyes I saw them laughing and poking each other again...


when I lost sight of them, somehow tears just came blurring my vision...
for a moment there, I saw myself and... my ex...


it was... quite a beautiful day at the botanical gardens..... =)



I'll prod you if you're sad
I'll poke you if you're mad
I'll squeeze you if you're happy
I'll hug you if you're gloomy
Memories return to remind, how much I can love you more...

and how much more we can love each other....
