IT'S A PANDAN LIFE ...!

I know I think. Does this cow or that tree knows it? ~http://philosophy-of-doctors.blogspot.com/2009/10/quoting-my-own-quotes.html   Time flew so past and now it's April. You don't think you've done anything significant so far. But you've learnt a few significant things. 1. Doing a PHD is like trying to balance on a tight rope, with no interested audience. A genius somewhere said this. You totally agree! 2. Your level of tolerance for humour has significantly decreased; at times you find yourself severely suffering from humour-deficiency. PHD-induced, is all you can say. 3. When you hit rock-bottom (PHD-induced), it is much better to talk it out with someone who is undergoing or has gone through the same ordeal. Only fellow travelers on the PHD trail would understand what you're talking about. Those not on the trail would have no inkling of what you're talking about and they probably don't care anyway. 4. It's good to keep abreast wit

If only I had a garden. I'd plant these flowers until I'm blue in the face.     Hydrangea. Bunga tiga bulan , in Malay. Reminds me of baby blue. And babies in general. And UK. Peonies. No Malay word for it. This flower just reminds me of the Far East. Azalea. I like these flowers because of the name. No Malay word for it. Reminds me of Holland, too.        Tea-pink rose. I only like this type of rose. Not pink, but tea-pink. No Malay word for it. Maybe  Mawar merah jambu teh ? White orchid. This flower screams elegant and Oriental to me. Orkid putih .  Tuberose. Bunga sundal malam . Despite the provocative Malay name, I like the smell a lot. Plus, it's a bit phallic. Hahaha. I don't know what this is called.  I call it " Bunga tepi jalan ". These flowers somehow remind me of my childhood. They were pretty abundant during those days.  When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other. ~Chinese
