trees old and new

i'm still radiating copious amounts of heat after being out in the sun the whole morning. tomorrow'll be the actual do, and i'm not looking forward to being in the hot sun again. but i have to admit that it's all rather exciting...hehhe

on a totally different note, we bought over some plants from our neighbour a few doors down(she's moving away to bali!) and have transplanted them in the back yard. they're looking pretty pathetic, to be honest, all dried up and wilting, but we have every faith that they're gonna recover from the shock of it all and prosper...i hope!

our next-door neighbour had also moved out (they're all slowly but surely moving out to make room for the foreign students from a certain school of public policy who in all observations do not know the meaning of basic civic-mindedness...but thats fodder for another story), and lo and behold the powers that be went right ahead and cleared all the trees in her backyard! one moment there was lush greenery, and the next they're gone!

i dont get why they're doing this. do the trees pose any danger to our safety? no. are they such an eyesore? definitely not. in fact at the rate they're chopping down the trees every time a tenant moves out, college green will be devoid of the greenery it's been known for. a mockery of the name dont you think? it will truly be an eyesore then.

so yes, even though our days here are numbered, we'll do all we can to 'greenify' the place. plant some plants here, salvage some plants there. lets just hope they dont all die in our hands :P
