little did i know...

...that i was going to ACTUALLY take a gardening course in my last semester. i still remember that a few semesters ago i was like oh, i'm going to finish my courses really fast so that i can finally have some time to study whatever i want. and a friend asked me "so what do you wanna study"? and i was like i dunno! gardening? hur hur hur....

so yeah i wasn't actually being serious. i still remember how i was very excited when we were asked to grow beansprouts in P4, and i would look at the shoots everyday and water them and they grew and grew and g....and died. and then in sec 1 or 2 i did an experiment where i watered balsam plants with different juices, and they got covered in ants and...died. so yeah. who says i didn't have a traumatic childhood? did too ok!

anyway, fast forward. somehow i happen to be taking Horticulture 102, against my wildest thoughts, and it's turning out to be amazing! mummy i will help you weed the garden when i come home! but only if you let me graft our plants and make our garden beautiful. this is so cool man. and the teacher is so nice and omg they actually provide lunch! like, he cooked us this saffron rice thing last week and i took so many helpings i actually felt guilty. but then, not really guilty also.

ok enough rambling here's pics of my paperwhites starting to grow. makes me wanna cry...! haha kidding lah i'm not so emo.

see all the green green things coming out? such a cool feeling, watching LIFE happen.

looks so juicy i actually feel like biting into it...!
