yayy!! i finally changed my blogskin(: thanks to qh, who helped me, this it-unsavvy person edit the html of the blogskin! you rock qh!!
went to pulau ubin (again) this morning for the real sensory trail thing. ok, im not exactly a i-love-nature type of person, so i cant exactly appreciate some people's love for those greens. but i hafta admit that it was a rather enriching trip. as in like if i wasnt in that lsl group i would prob not haf experience this type of thing in my entire life. despite the mosquitoes, ants, sweat, heat.. events this morn were like me and hc in charge of the sugarcane station, then various groups came along and we had to introduce the plant to them. including visually handicapped. i realised that although these people were blind, i could still feel their passion and interest in nature, something that prob even i dun haf. like they realli ask intellectual questions that maybe even i dun think of and answer(: then our guest of honour was dr. jane goodall. GOOD-ALL. geddit? ahaha:D she just this old lady who is very passionate about nature and chimpanzees. apparently she travels arnd the world participating in stuff to do with nature and the environment. she's really quite old alr. 70 plus i think. really remarkable that she still travels arnd the world and everything. today she even went through the sensory trail blindfolded, bcos she wanted to experience through the perspective of a visually handicapped. then we had nasi lemak for lunch!! ahaha. yummy:P took the ferry back at about 1.
then i came home. bathed, played piano (ahaha, i finally learnt how to play tong hua), watched ai sha, finished reading my sister's keeper. i think it's been like ages since i actually sat down and finished reading a book. but this book is one of the greatest books i haf read for a long long time. realli. it's like 400 plus pages long, and it doesnt exactly haf like gao1 chao2 qi3 fu2. ok maybe a bit. but i utterly enjoyed reading it. i didnt even find it draggy. the language oso very easy to understand. it's realli realli very beautifully crafted. basically it's about a girl who has leukemia and how the parents gave birth to a genetically designer baby to save the girl's life. then as this girl grows she gradually finds a need to have posession over her own body and haf her own choices whether to donate blood and organs to her sister. there are no antagonists in this story la. all the characters are very good people and mean well. but the ending was super sad. quite unexpected oso. i nvr ever cry just by reading a book, but i actually cried after reading the ending. okok, in the nutshell, this is an extremely good book, and i encourage all u people out there to read it(:
