plant talk

if u want your plants to thrive, talk to them. u can praise them or curse them, it doesnt matter. your plants wont be able to tell the difference. BUT if u choose to play them music, go for heavy metal or rock compared to classical. so to summarize, first choice: heavy metal, second choice: classical music, third choice: talk to them. of course, if u leave your plants alone with water and sunlight and occasional fertilizers, they do grow too but not as well though.

had a chat with a poly close friend over msn in the afternoon. it started amicable but turned heated. i was telling her abt the way she phrased her statements and that it may not sit well with pple she hardly know. and i kept assuring her that i'm not offended but merely to warn her sort of. i also mentioned that it could be the usage of words. different pple perceive the english language differently. especially the emotions that the writer was trying to portray. i felt that i've tried my best to make her feel least offended before telling her how i felt despite the fact that we're really close friends. so we were chatting abt religion (and btw, we're of the same religion). i dont know why she insisted that i dont agree with her. all i was trying to highlight was the way she speaks (btw, in my opinion, she speaks good english) and airing my opinions. right now, i still cant fathom why a small chat would turn sour. i wont ask who's at fault here cos no one heard her side of the story. anyhow, it seem that we cant talk nicely anymore. though we dont bear grudges or harbor hard feelings and surely chat again as if nothing like today happened. the fact is we cant hold a conversation for more than 30mins or maybe 1 hr before we start debating. have we not talk regularly that we lost the rapport? its hard enough to make new friends (when u're getting on in years) and now losing a friend?? boohoo...the thought of it is scary. okay, i'm exaggerating. it cant be that bad.

okay, here's my update on the yam roll we bought yday but hadnt tried it yet. before i start, i've to say i'm afraid or skeptical of anything roll from savoy since yday. so now the only way savoy can redeem themselves is through tis yam roll lying in my possession. okay, my first bite was kinda bleachy i thought and i quickly handed it over to other half for his opinion. he said it was okay then only i took it back for subsequent bites. so it went okay. yam roll passed!!! shop owners, all u have to do is jus make 1 less-than-standard product and u're sure your customer will tell the whole world [ADDED 30/06/05] abt it. and savoy, u have one here. :P

the song on my blog now is homesick by mercyme (from their latest album undone). as the name suggests, i'm pretty much homesick. not telling u much now until things are confirmed but one thing for sure is homesickness do play a role in determining where i'll be residing in future. or perhaps a short trip home is all i need. i miss so many things back home. i miss the botanic gardens minus the hot weather. i miss going to the concerts held at the shaw foundation symphony stage esp the annual christmas one. fret not, i'm quite sure i'll be there tis year.
