Caught By Surprise
By Peace | April 12, 2008
Picture taken at Garden of Unity, Fu Shan Garden, Woodlands: Yesterday, managed to take a photograph of this butterfly, brown this time, the black one, I will need another time to tell you the story…
What a coincidence or was it destiny?
Butterfly Stories
Clara came home, telling me,”Got a yellow butterfly chase after me, then I also step on three mangoes…” I never bother much about this. However, in the evening, it was during the time where we went jogging at Fu Shan Garden, I had the most wonderful day.
The heart that conquers
As usual, running, my legs were itchy, but yesterday was rather ‘special’. I was rather ‘peaceful’, having lots of thoughts in my mind as I was jogging. Running at a comfortable pace like that, I was able to jog 8 rounds, and still able to jog some more after that. But I stopped because Richard stopped and we went to Garden of Unity.
Colours That Brightens Up My Life
I love to go there because that is the place where all the beautiful flowers are. At Christmas gathering last year, my sister said,”forever taking photographs of flowers 
”
Yesterday, I saw ‘Cebest’ — that is the old man’s dogs, not really Cebest, but looked very similar (one of them). They made my day. The dogs were so obedient to the owner, just like Cebest. They loved to be given treats and they loved to eat. The old man was so cute. He fed the dogs with potatoes biscuits, telling his friends that the biscuits can be eaten by dogs or human — nothing funny, but they sound so cute.
Plants I encountered at different stages of my life
I was so touched to see all the flowers blooming radiantly — the sunflowers, rose, Clitoria ternatea, and other plants like sugarcane, mangoes, Plantago major, Aloe vera, Elephantopus scaber, prunella vulgaris, and many many more. This is so wonderful, so lovely.

Fragrance Not Only At Woodlands
After taking pictures at Garden of Unity, we proceed to the sit-up station where each of us take turns to do sit-ups. I was so happy, so inspired, really inspired by the fact that the durian tree has finally blossomed, and the air was full of its beautiful fragrance. That day when I went to Bukit Batok(9th April 2008), I also smelled nice air at the carpark (despite the rubbish chute or whatever you called it) — the mango trees with fruits, rain trees with flowers (full of pink flowers) and Rose of India(with flowers too), what beauty it is, beauty everywhere!!!!!
Good Catch and A Good Round Up For The Day
On our way back, we saw birds, special birds sound, flying in pairs and threes. Clara said,”baby owls”, but I don’t know, because I had never been interested in birds, and never even seen any baby owls or hear their voice before, never interested! It was getting so dark and it was so hard to see, but I followed some of them, and in the end, the camera’s flashes helped me to catch hold of this bird, which was ‘waiting there for me’ — wait for my story and more pictures about this special bird.

[...] Butterfly Story On 27th March 2008, I saw a black butterfly in the evening, while we were walking on the pathway here. We were walking to Blk 834 Seafood for dinner. The black butterfly was on the first tree of the pathway. It was the same type of black butterfly which came to our house one day, after the death of my grandmother many years back. Our family were still staying at Boon Lay, and it was at Blk 169 Boon Lay Drive. The whole house were filled with black butterflies, there were big and small ones. Among these black butterflies, there was one big ones. My mother said it was the spirit returned. Just like the Liang San Bo Yi Zhu Yin Tai, “The Butterfly Lovers”《梁山伯与祝英台》 — the lovers died, became butterflies. [...]
