The other day, while i was cleaning up my files, I came across this digital photo album of Lola when she was visiting us here in Singapore last May. I browsed the pictures again and i thought that it would be nice to keep it and save it in. So, as part of my oplan 'clean out my files' drive, I will be posting here some of the prettiest subjects I've ever had in my entire aspiring photographer life. The flowers at Gardens by the Bay - Flower Dome.
It was my first time (actually our first time) to step inside the dome after many years of living here. (a little trivia of me : i really reserve these firsts on special occasions like this: Lola is visiting us here in SG for the first time so i gave in. and yes i have some sentimental cells trapped inside my body too). The dome was freaking cold, we were all shocked for a minute when we entered there, but the sight of the different posies gave us a refreshing vibe. It was flowers all over! A massive collection of flowers of different classes, and species, and phylums! Just think about your lola's best flower garden on steroids. It was impressive!Tipong mahihirapan kang mamili ng pang desktop background! ganung levels!
Anyhow, Id skip the introduction, and let the pictures speak how pretty they are.
Wait, Let me share with you an excerpt about the Flower Dome for a proper intro. ( naks sige na nga! para sa touristy knowledge)
