It's My Birth Month!

Yes, I'm a May child. My birthday was 10 days ago. Adding another year to my age and I'm ten days older by now! A sudden thought came to my mind that I should post something connected to my birthday. It's just at the right time before this month ends.

All this while, I only know my zodiac sign . I'm curious to know what are other things connected to the birth month of May.  First,  I surfed for the birth flower and got this answer :

Lily, Lily of the valley

Oh! that's cool. I must say that only now I know about it! I searched for more informations about this flower and this is what I got from http://www.ehow.com

Lily of the valley (Convallaria majalis) is a fragrant flowering plant used in religous ceremonies, world celebrations, perfumes and in gardens. Also known as the May lily, it means "return to happiness" and most often symbolizes chastity, purity, happiness, luck and humility.

This is how the flower looks like.

I'm happy to know what my birth flower is and as a Taurean my zodiac sign  is non other than a Bull!

Is this ME??? SNORT SNORT LOOW!!!

Last but not least, my birthstone. It's emerald (though I don't have one!).

I don't have any special wish for this year.  But since I'm talking about flower, bull and emerald, I would simply say I hope my life is as fragrant as lily, energetic as a bull and my days  shiny (and bright) like  an emerald!

A Fresh New Day!

I had a sound sleep and waking up this morning, I feel blessed for it's raining outside after days of baking heat!  I guess, my long hours of sleep has recharged my mind which I really need or else, it will be another day without knowing anything to write for my blog update.

  

The sounds of rain pattering the roof soothe my mind. Its regular taps is like a rhythm that naturally goes into the inner part of the soul. I take a long breath of the cold morning air. It's really refreshing! This is indeed a beautiful morning or rather a beautiful Sunday. Yes, it's Sunday! I like every weekend. As I always say, a time to let my hair down and paint the town red!

 

 

On a day like this, I pamper myself. For 5 days in a week, it's hectic, having to rush for work and at work place going through paper works, making sure everything is done before deadlines.

 

 

Among the first things I did this morning was checking my blog and replying comments. I was smiling reading some comments from friends. It always makes me feel good! I also spent some time at my virtual library reading some imp's stories.  I am kinda addicted to this type of stories! Usually, people are scared of imps but this imp is an exception. It has long pointed ears but the face is so cute! It's so lovable! If imp could be kept as pets, I would definitely choose this one because it is  really a smart imp! Who could resist that!

 

 

Now, let me gulp down some goat's milk which is my favourite. It is high in protein and calcium, no sugar added and most importantly no goaty taste.  It tastes great!

 

 

What do I plan today? I am thinking of going to my favourite picnic spot, the Tanjung Batu beach. It's only about 5 minutes' drive from my place. I can even walk there if I want to. I used to do so when I was a kid. Going there with my family or sometimes having a group picnic with friends, accompanied by our teachers. It was so much fun! Though I couldn't swim, it didn't stop me from playing with ripples of  waves. I'm sharing with you all some of the photos I took at Tanjung Batu beach.

 

Wishing everyone a happy Sunday!

 

When I Don't Know What To Write ....

Going through the pain of not knowing what to write,

Ideas have ran out of the stores of my mind,

There's emptiness, though not thoroughly wiped out,

In search for that something which I don't know what,

That would let my pen dances on the floor of paper,

But the music is not here to get the mood going,

The melody is sleeping, the rhythm way far lagging,

Ahh! my mind is desperate for easy flow of ideas,

Until it tires and waits for another promising day.

Running out of ideas,

Balqis

Haiku - Sweet Nothings

Lost in affection,
Two hearts beat in unison,
Hush, a sweet nothings.


Divine and blissful,
The songs of heart ring gaily,
Flame of love burning.




In love with Haiku,
Balqis
