The number of species of flowers in Turkey is approximately 9,000, of which 3,000 are endemic. In Europe for instance there are 11,500 species. This shows the richness of flora and fauna in Anatolia.
PS. anyone have any idea what ENDEMIC might be?

it's amazing how you can slack away 6 hours online. i just did that, just watching youtube vids, (getting entertained by nohogirls, weho girls, and community channel) . haha lonelygirl15's just plain draggy and boring=S
alright so everyone's away. jia and le have flown off to korea and japan respectively, while chun and qiu have to work. so basically, my best girlfriends seem to have gone missing=S
oh and yes, i just got a new cam, olympus 7.1 mp=) so, more cam-whoring to come. love pics, cause my memory fail, but pics, they last. so long as they're safely stored somewhere out of reach of viruses=)
yawn... feeling really bored now, ask me out !! so long as it involves shopping, chilling out, coffee, and hmmm christmas, i'm game=) ESP shopping=)
rights some pics. hit town on sat, sent my dress for alterations (which cost 25 bucks! i can like, buy a new top! ) and queued abt 2 hours for my tuen at the customer service counter at sony ericsson. my phone list has cracked. so if you call and i don't ans, pls leave me a msg. cause nth appears in my call list, and i wouldn't know you called.
this year's xmas lightings are sponsored by hitachi. personally feel last year's was better though. this year's just seem... pretty toned down i'd say~
oh and and and!!!!! my ENTIRE FAMILY went to church on sunday!! ain't that amazing? and although they did suffer form the initial culture shock, they came out unfazed and in approval!! YEEESSSS!!! and throughout svcm while we were PRAYING IN TONGUES, i was praying that my parents won't drag me by the collar (figurative speech, don't really dig collared tops) and pull me home, nvr to step into church again. haha maybe i've seen way to many movies. cause it actually turned out great!! except for the killer $7.35 carpark fare, i think they love it, and they'll be back this sunday=)
okays pics of sat~
i really like the double reflection effect with my phone=)
there she goes, there she goes again;
glammed and ready to strut my stuff=)

yuan bought a 35 bucks cap (the one i'm donning) from NUM. haha i was kinda busy checking out the CARTOON SHIRTS, not the HOT GUY, esp not the DAMN HOT ONE THAT WAS SERVING YUAN. haha i was trying to convince yuan he could work there, after he shapes and tones up a lil. we aim to have him in there by end of next year=)

sometimes it's nice and warm, sometimes it's just plain.
someties i wonder if it's a blessing, or just another bane.
sometimes i run, sometimes i hide
sometimes my heart just can't decide~
weak attempt at poetry, but least it reflects my thoughts~

there are some days we just feel plain lonely. being surronded by friends don't make you any less lonely, if you don't feel truly free.
it seems i can nvr be good enough a person... not as sociable as le, as pretty and sweet as qiu, as likable and sportyt as jia, as wise as eunice, as decisive as joanna... they say if your true friends are true, they'll accept you for who you are.
but even as i'm surrounded by people i love, i feel lonely. i can nvr match up to them, just as i'll nvr match up to His expectaions, my parents' expectations, yuan's expectations, and my friends.
maybe there's just sth abt me that's really repulsive to them.. all the shopping i do don't make me feel much better...
i should just lock myself up and not be an eyesore to them... after all, they have what they need in each other, and i should just bow out of the circle...

i guess... people get tired from trying time to time... it just seems we're always on the wrong frequency. i can't match yours, you can't match mine. i try, you try, but they just nvr meet. i blog, you read, but you nvr respond.
maybe i'm thinking way too much, maybe i'm oversensitive. i wouldn't know. all i know, is that it takes two to clap. right now, we're just mixing cha-cha with the tango. and it's all wrong.
seeing how my friends suffer with their guys make me feel wary too. i don't want to end up the same way.
i know you're busy, you have your family, your friends, work, studies, cell group and service. and you'll be busy with upcoming exams and the endless tests, so you won't have any time for me... it's okay..
i don't want to lose you, but i get this feeling, you're tired of everything. and you'd rather let go, although you don't because you live on your firm principles of being devoted and loyal...
maybe i'm interpreting it all wrong. but this feeling of insecurity just overwhelms me. and i just don't know what to do. we don't seem to talk the way we used to, as freely and honestly. now everything's buried beneath a smiling face, stored in a trove of hurts, waiting to be dug up eventually one day..
i just wished... you'd tell me what was on your mind. if you don't want it anymore, just tell me. don't leave me hanging on tethers, not knowing whether to cling on, or just let go...
i love you. you love me too. i believe.
and if you love me, don't leave me hanging.
tell me what's on your mind, and what you'd rather things be...
retail therapy. someone.

oh yes, A's is finally over!!! =)
went to play bball ytd (and oibviously i can't). haha came home with a sore head and blue-blacks=S i think i fell (or got knocked over) at least thrice=s. and yuan threw a ball straight at my head=S
yup had a mini get-tgt from my mum's ide at my place... very soon everyone will be abroad, and so, we had a last get-tgt before.... chinese new year? haha will upload some pics=)
hmmm i guess i have been feeling kinda down. you know there are just these days where all you want is to be alone and feel sorry for yourself. happens to me alot. when i see my friends having so many problems, esp my ear swee jia and qiu and le, my heart goes out to them. i want to help them really, but i just don't know how. sigh. i feel so useless. all i can do is worry and talk to them, but ultimatele, i can only sit there and watch them suffer... it sucks not being able to remove those hurt. esp when i love them so much... i'm sorry yuan, i really haven't been treating you the way you deserve to be treated, but it's like... i'm not even sure of what i want, and what to do... A's are over, so i guess i'll have plenty of time to think...
