Native to Mexico and Central America, dahlias belong to one of the largest flowering plant families, Asteraceae, or the sunflower family. They are related to chrysanthemums, gerberas, daisies, and marigolds to name a few.
<p>
There are around 40 Dahlia species, and thousands of different cultivars and hybrids. Dahlias are divided into various groups according to their flower forms – ball, decorative, cactus, anemone, collerette, pompon, orchid and water-lily. The name of each flower form describes its appearance or shape.
<p>
These were some of the Dahlias at a flower display.

A quip is a witty remark. You might want to keep a few of these in mind, and impress your friends with your wit and humour. Everyone likes a laugh, and everyone likes a person who can make them laugh.
<p>
Laughter translates into any language and is contagious. So, laugh often, and whenever you can. You will be doing the world a favour if you can make people laugh.
<p>
May your days be filled with laughter.

When we talk about a relationship, we usually refer to the romantic relationship between two people. However, a relationship is also defined as the way in which two or more people or things are connected, or the state of being connected. It could be our relationship with our family, friends, colleagues, and our relationship with things and the world at large.
<p>
No matter how independent we think we are, or would like to be, the fact remains that a person cannot live a lone existence. It is just not possible. We interact with our fellow-men every day, if not face to face, we do it through we the phone, text messages, the computer, etc...
<p>
Our casual relationships, and friendships provide us with opportunities for brief shared experiences, and the exchanging of information, feelings and ideas which can serve to counteract feelings of isolation and boredom.
<p>
Human beings are social animals – some more so than others. That being the case, it is not far off to say that our quality of life depends in part, on how well we relate to other people, and how well we get on with the people around us.
<p>
We are all different – in character, in behaviour, in temperament etc... No two people are quite alike although they might share some common character traits or interests. As such, getting along with people requires tact. Some would say getting along with people is an art.
<p>
The relationships we have with the world are largely determined by the relationships we have with ourselves. Everything happening in your life results from the way you treat yourself through thoughts, words and actions. Hence, at the end of the day, truly, the most important relationship you have is with yourself.
<p>
Some quotes on non-romantic relationships

<p>
If you cultivate a relationship in a genuine, thoughtful way, people will be more inclined to want to help you even though they don’t have to help you. - Douglas Conant
<p>
It’s often when we are not looking for others to fill a particular void, or to make us feel a certain way, that most of our truest and most valuable relationships are formed. - Mark DeNicola
<p>
We can find reasons to dislike anyone. But it's what you focus on and appreciate in a person that cultivates a positive relationship. - David J. Lieberman
<p>
The world has no meaning apart from relationships. Some are just messier than others, some are seasonal, others are difficult, and a few are easy, but every one of them is important. - W M. Paul Young

Good relationships make people happy, and happy people enjoy more and better relationships than unhappy people. Conflicts in relationships – having an annoying office mate or roommate, or having chronic conflict with your spouse – is one of the surest ways to reduce your happiness. - Jonathan Haidt

<p>
These dark skies were taken when I was out for my walks. Sometimes, I was able to avoid getting rained on, sometimes, I wasn’t so lucky.

My Epiphyllum Oxypetualum, also known as 'Queen of the Night' was getting on. I have had it for over a decade. It was time to do something about it. So, I cut four branches which had shoots growing from them and replanted them. Epiphyllum Oxypetualum are very hardy plants and the shoots, once settled into the new environment, should start to grow. We shall see how it all goes.

I also re-potted two sansevierias. Sanservierias are also known as ‘snake plants’ because of the shape of their leaves. A friend gave them to me because he has too many. The pots they came in were a bit on the small side, and were in bad shape. The plants seemed to have outgrown the pots. So, I thought it was time to re-pot them. Sansevierias are also very hardy plants. They should also do all right once they settle down in their new environment.

All that lives must one day die. Everything that has a beginning has an end. Life and death are the two ends of the same process. Shocking as it may sound, as soon as one is born, one starts dying. The first breath is the beginning of death, and every moment of our life is a step towards the grave. All these might sound morbid. But they are facts of Life, to be understood and faced.

How fascinating is death, the extinction of life. One moment here and the next gone. The light put out and only the empty bag of the body left. - Henry van Dyke
<p>
The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins? - Edgar Allan Poe
<p>
To die is poignantly bitter, but the idea of having to die without having lived is unbearable. - Erich Fromm
<p>
It is a myth to think death is just for the old. Death is there from the very beginning. - Herman Feifel
<p>
For a man who has done his natural duty, death is as natural as sleep. - George Santayana
<p>
You will die not because you are ill, but because you are alive. - Seneca
<p>
Nothing is born which Death makes not subject of his state. - Bhartrhari
<p>
We are all born in the same way but we all die in different ways. - James Joyce
<p>
Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else. - Marcus Aurelius
<p>
What new thing is it for a man to die, whose whole life is nothing but a journey to death? - Seneca
<p>
Pale Death with impartial tread beats at the poor man's cottage door and at the palaces of kings. - Horace
<p>
We’re all going to die. All of us. What a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn’t. - Charles Bukowski

These photos of tulip flowers were taken last year at the Tulips Flower display in the Flower Dome last year. Every two months or so, the Flower dome organizes a flower display of the flower in season. This keeps visitors interested and encourage returns to the flower dome. If you joined their membership and become a ‘Friend of the Gardens’, you have free entry to the Flower dome.
<P>
I have long thought that Tulips originated from the Netherlands. It looks like I was very much mistaken. According to a sign at the flower display, the origin of the tulips “… goes back and into Kazakhstan, following in the footsteps of nomadic tribes that trekked through mountains of Central Asia. It is believed that tulips first appeared in the wild at these mountains, and were then introduced to Turkey.”

Cultivate and develop your sense of humour. Humour helps you to see the lighter side of things, in life. It helps you to keep light-hearted and not to take things too seriously. It helps you to enjoy life even when you do not have everything you want, or when things do not happen the way you expected them to. In fact, it is when things do not go your way that you need your humour most.
<p>
The important thing is to have a sense of humour. And not to lose your sense of humour no matter how tough life gets. Enjoy this week’s selection of humorou! Have a great week ahead!

There will always be days where we find inspiration and motivation lacking. I have found that reading aphorisms that are motivational and inspirational did wonders for me. My spirits get a lift immediately. I suggest you take an interest in Aphorisms and keep a collection of those that resonate with you for future reference.
<p>
You can start with today’s selection. Keep a note of the ones you find motivational and inspirational.

This species of Jasmine is very fragrant.
<p>
Jasmine flowers are easy to grow, and do not need a lot of attention. As long as there is sunlight and the soil is well-drained, they are happy. They can be grown in pots or directly in the ground. If you are creative, you can grow them as hedges, or wall-side borders.
<p>
Jasmine flowers are perennial. They bloom all year round. The flowers are mostly white in colour – pure white, and they contrast very well with the leaves which are glossy, and bright green. They are popular for their fragrance. The fragrance is most noticeable in the evening or early morning. However, not all species of Jasmine are fragrant. Some Jasmine flowers have no fragrance.
<p>
Jasmine flowers are also cultivated for their perfumery uses like soap, lotions as well as essential oils. They are also grown for tea-making. Jasmine tea is a popular tea with a nice fragrant.

As we go about our lives, we learn. Sometimes, we learn that what we learned yesterday was wrong. That is still learning. It is still a good thing. And if we are willing to learn, everyone we meet is our teacher. Everything we do are our experiences. They add to our knowledge of life.
<p>
After a while we learn that…
<p>
Life can be as complicated or as simple as you want it to be.<br>
Time heals almost everything. Give time, some time.<br>
Everyone’s journey is different.<br>
Things always get better with time.<br>
Whatever doesn’t kill you really makes you stronger.<br>
You only fail if you quit.<br>
What goes around, comes around.<br>
It’s alright to not know the answers.<br>
The past cannot be changed.<br>
Happiness is found within.<br>
It is not good to compare ourselves to others. There will be others better or worse than we are.<br>
Life sometimes gives you a second chance.<br>
True friends are scarce, he/she who has found one has found a true treasure.<br>
We shall reap what we sow.<br>
Being kind is more important than being right.<br>
Good times become good memories. Bad times become good lessons.<br>
Under everyone’s hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.<br>
When you harbour bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere.<br>
You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.<br>
What others think of you is none of your business.<br>
Life is all about cause and effect. Things don’t happen on their own.<br>
When you plan to get even with someone, you are only letting that person continue to hurt you.<br>
Sometimes, we make waves; sometimes, we ride the waves; and sometimes we go with the flow of the currents.<br>
We still have a lot to learn.

This is a new cluster of public housing flats in my area. They are a mix of two, three and four room flats. Citizens and Permanent residences can buy a unit from the government for 99 years. After 99 years, the flats will be returned to the government for redevelopment.
<P>
“Public housing in Singapore is subsidised, built and managed by the Government of Singapore through the Housing and Development Board (HDB). The majority of the residential housing developments in Singapore are publicly governed and developed, and home to approximately 80% of the resident population. These flats are located in housing estates, which are self-contained satellite towns.” - Wikipedia

Some words are inspirational, motivational and educational. When I come across them, I will take a note of them and add them to my collection. During times when I am in need of inspiration or motivation, or when I am feeling down, I will look through the collection. It makes me feel better almost immediately.
<p>
The following paragraph is one such example.
<p>
"It’s easy to feel uncared for when people aren’t able to communicate and connect with you in the way you need. And it’s so hard not to internalize that silence as a reflection on your worth. But the truth is that the way other people operate is not about you. Most people are so caught up in their own responsibilities, struggles, and anxiety that the thought of asking someone else how they’re doing doesn’t even cross their mind. They aren’t inherently bad or uncaring – they’re just busy and self-focused. And that’s okay. It’s not evidence of some fundamental failing on your part. It doesn’t make you unlovable or invisible. It just means that those people aren’t very good at looking beyond their own world. Your work isn’t to change who you are; it’s to find people who are able to give you the connection you need. And with or without anyone’s acknowledgement or affection, you are enough." - <i>Daniell Koepke </i>

Lovely flowers in the dome. It is an eternal spring in the flower dome. Hence, any time you happen to drop by, you will be greeted with all sorts of gorgeous blooms. Here are photos of some of the blooms taken from my visit. With the help of Google lens, I was able to identify them. If there is any inaccuracy, do let me know.

When we can understand what a person is going through, or why a thing/event is happening, chances are we will be able to sympathize. When we can sympathize, we will find it easier to forgive, to accept the situation.
<p>
Understanding means knowing the motives behind an action, the reason for something happening. It is the first step to acceptance, and only with acceptance can there be letting go. That is why understanding is deeper than knowledge. Understanding is also the essence of Love. If you cannot understand, you cannot love.

Frangipani – also known by its scientific name as Plumeria is a genus of about twelve species of shrubs or small trees with fragrant flowers. They are quite common here, in Singapore. Frangipani is the common name, but it also goes by other names depending on the country they are found in.
<p>
Frangipani flowers come in shades of pink, yellow, white, red and multi-colours, and they have a very nice fragrance which some describe as ‘Sophisticated, lush, and rich’. They are perennials. So, you see the blooms throughout the year. Frangipani trees are deciduous and sensitive to cold.
<p>
Apparently, the nocturnal fragrance of the flowers is believed to be linked to spirits and may attract supernatural beings at night. That is why people who are superstitious do not plant frangipani in their gardens.
<p>
The flowers can be used to make essential oils, perfumes, lotions, and candles. Some people float the flowers in a bath, or a bowl of water to get the feel of a relaxing effect of a spa day. They are also used as offerings in temples, or made into garlands called lei.

As long as we are alive, there will always be things to learn. As such we are all students, and will be students all our lives. In school, we were taught the basics of an education. It is after we left school, when we start working in society – that’s where real learning about life starts.
<p>
Contemplate these words of wisdom, these life lessons and learn from them. Understand them, and you will have a better idea of what life is all about.

Words are free. It’s how you use them, that may cost you. We know once the words are uttered, there is no way to recall them, no matter how sorry we are. They can be only forgiven, not forgotten. So, be careful with your words. It is better to bite your tongue and swallow the words, than trying to ask for forgiveness after that.

According to Wikipedia, Hibiscus is a genus of flowering plants in the mallow family Malvaceae. The genus is quite large, comprising several hundred species that are native to warm temperate, tropical, and semi-tropical regions throughout the world.
<p>
Hibiscus have dark green leaves; flowers are big, colourful, and trumpet-shaped, with colours ranging from white to pink, red, orange, yellow, peach. They bloom throughout the year. They are widely cultivated as ornamental plants for their showy flowers, or used as landscape shrubs.
<p>
Hibiscus are hardy, versatile plants in tropical conditions. They are easy to plant. Cut a section of a branch and stick it in the soil. In its early stage, make sure they have enough water. They do not need a lot of attention once they start growing.

Dinner at Ernest’s are always something I look forward to. It is a time to catch up with old friends, to see how they are doing. Time is moving on. We are all getting on too. The fact that we are still meeting and catching up after all these years (we have known each other since 1986), shows there is some affinity between us. We all appreciate the opportunity to get together whenever we can.
<p>
Thanks to Ernest, who loves to cook and entertain, we have a place where we can gather and be ourselves. During such times, there is always plenty to eat, and drink, between the talk and laughter.
<p>
As usual, Ernest cooked us a scrumptious meal. We had...
<p>
Claypot rice.

We cannot judge people by their looks. Good looking people does not necessarily mean they have a good heart. Neither can we judge people by how they talk. There are people who can talk the birds down from the tree. They do not necessarily harbour good intentions. So, looks and words aside, the only way to judge a person is through their actions. As they say, action speaks louder than words.
<p>
People are more complex and complicated than meets the eye. You can look to the one in the mirror for a testament.
<p>
Here are some truisms about people.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqSLZr0V_JQ1t1q2bgDDKb5WiPL6WSA2j9xQEUr2rhJ2Ux8tbcM6tV7ceL5bPY5EpQyIfg1J8DTcqo7QqEH126G6tlDR-KgGm9pBJIB8LW-63rTQUawxj-HpKvQjEvMiFqe6m2PtVN-6tnoECMnTyoDykeBn7vHQyZzmNgo64OsGZPOEDN48e1ZIaqQq5k/s490/next.png" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="348" data-original-width="490" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqSLZr0V_JQ1t1q2bgDDKb5WiPL6WSA2j9xQEUr2rhJ2Ux8tbcM6tV7ceL5bPY5EpQyIfg1J8DTcqo7QqEH126G6tlDR-KgGm9pBJIB8LW-63rTQUawxj-HpKvQjEvMiFqe6m2PtVN-6tnoECMnTyoDykeBn7vHQyZzmNgo64OsGZPOEDN48e1ZIaqQq5k/s400/next.png"/></a></div>
Good people are like street lights along the roads. They don’t make the distance short but they light up the path and make the walk easy and safe. - Unknown
<p>
The best kind of people are the ones that come into your life, and make you see the sun where you once saw clouds; the people that believe in you so much, you start to believe in you too; the people that love you, simply for being you. - Unknown
<p>
The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed. - Ernest Hemingway
<p>
People don’t get along because they fear each other. People fear each other because they don’t know each other. They don’t know each other because they have not properly communicated with each other. - Martin Luther King Jr.
<p>
Every now and then you run across radiantly attractive people and you’re delighted to find they adore you, till you realize that they adore just about everybody – and that’s what’s made them radiantly attractive. - Mignon McLaughlin
<p>
People who soar are those who refuse to sit back, sigh and wish things would change. They neither complain of their lot nor passively dream of some distant ship coming in. Rather, they visualize in their minds that they are not quitters; they will not allow life’s circumstances to push them down and hold them under. - Charles Swindoll
<p>
The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These people have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen. - Elizabeth Kübler-Ross
<p>
In reality we never lose the people we love. They become immortal through us. They continue to live in our hearts and minds. They participate in our every act, idea and decision. No one will replace them and in spite of the pain we are richer for all the years invested in them. Because of them, we have so much more to bring to our present relationships and all those to come. - Leo Buscaglia

The ‘Dahlia Dreams’ flower display in the Flower Dome in the Gardens by the Bay is on until the 17th of March. Because it was Chinese New Year, they also included a display of flowers that are considered auspicious for the New Year – flowers (apart from Dahlia), like Cymbidium, Celosia, Camellia, Anthurium, Chrysanthemum, Hydrangea, Peony...

Some photos from my visit to the 'Dahlia Dreams'.
