Queen of the night

August 14th, 2007

not a v impressive pic. but i like this flower a lot. it opened last night. blooms fully at ard 12. and then it’ll wilt e nxt day. i nv knew what it was called but then i went to search google and realised i owned a desert plant. it’s called Queen of the Night. =) it is quite unattractive but when e flower blooms as it does 2 - 5 times a yr it’s awesome. e flower is huge and there’s a sweet scent in e air. sometimes we miss it though coz we would all be asleep…

Happy Birthday Nanyang!

August 10th, 2007

90thanniversarybirthdaycard.gif

colour and silver pen. It is our class’s contribution towards the 90th anniversary birthday card. Best wishes to Nanyang! Can u spot the details? (there’s a castle that represents ny, books that represent studies, ny girls that represent the students, hot air balloon to represent rising achievements the past 90 years and the years ahead. cats represent our feminity and the bird represents our hopes and aspirations taking flight.) The colourful background shows the vibrancy of our school and the seahorse shows how ny is both a father and a mother figure, constantly nurturing us. The ‘0′ of the ‘90′ is also drawn like a bubble to represent our hopes for the school to excel continually in many more years ahead.
