botanic gardens - various 2

Carolus Linnaeus's Bust - as told by yas, "he invented this classification system for all living things; groups them into taxonomy classes" or click his name for Wikipedia's description. hehe. oh yeah, FYI, the warp-ish effect at the back is caused by the very2 shallow depth of field, hence the crazy bokeh :D

Tree trunk - we walked under the tree trunk to cross to the i-dunno-what garden, the hole's large enough for an adult to go through. hahaha. i dunno why there's a big hole under the tree tho, maybe its just natural :-" anyway, the misty look is caused by what, i dunno myself. maybe just from the bleeding light from above.

some things are better left unsaid, unknown, unspoken, uncovered. these are so typical.

still, i need to surrender to that. to live, to move on, to continue surviving. i have a life to live. i still have friends to cherish. parents to care. i will be strong...
