First attempt

Hello all! Quite a few things happened lately, let you in on them.

First, on the 20th July Jamie & me celebrated our 1.5 years of love. For the occasion, I decided to do something really special for her, and that is to wrap a bouquet for her. She really likes flowers and for the past few months have been asking me how come I didn't buy her any, so for the special occasion I did a big one.
I went to a nursery along thomson rd and got 40 roses: 20 red & 20 white. I got the freshest I could get my hands on from the huge cold room... its really cold I felt like I was in switzerland or something haha... and I also got some small little purple flowers (I dunno the name) to go along with it.

After I went home, I trimmed away all the excess leaves from the roses, and positioned the roses and the complementary flowers together. It was quite tricky as the whole lot was a big bunch and I didn't trim the thorns at all... so it took some skill there although I got pricked a few times.



After I was happy with the look of the bouquet, I rubber banded it and left them with their stems underwater overnight. The next day just before I delivered my masterpiece(?) to Jamie, then I finished the bouquet proper with wrapping paper and plastic. I bought two layers of wrapping, a transparent plastic layer with little heart shaped patterns on it, and a purple cloth-like layer.

To tell you guys the truth, I really had no idea what I was doing at this stage, I just tried to wrap them around the flowers and make it look ok. And I think I didn't do too bad huh? What you think?

Next, I just attended my aikido club's 5th anniversary camp at pasir ris PA holiday chalet. I only attended the last day cos I had school on sat... too bad. Anyway I really enjoyed myself together with my friends, eating and chatting and training. I really have to thank benson and company for driving us around and treating us to great food! Looking forward to many years of training together.

I managed to finish the important code of my sorting assignment on the way to the camp in the mrt and in the early morning of sunday when I couldn't sleep :x I only slept less than 2 hours... After I reached home last night I slept from 10 plus all the way till this morning :) I feel good! haha
