oh...

"this is what you will be doing today"
my slightly effeminate sounding instructor over the phone
is a burly, rather beefy man in real life
i looked at the arrangement, and thought to myself
"oh... pink roses and heart shaped card..."
not allowing myself to be crestfallen i stayed positive
at least the room smelled nice with the fresh flowers

the results of my first arrangement
couldn't really bear to bring myself to stick the red heart-shaped card in it

learnt the proper names of some flowers
wax flowers - pale pink and whitish flowers with a waxy appearance, releases a nice fragrant when u cut flowers - (i really like these, they remind me of Christmas)
bear grass - the long willowy green blade of leaf
statice - purple papery flowers (which i didn't use, purple and pink really shouldn't be together)

and i had quite  a bit of leftover flowers 
which i had fun planting at the few nooks in my home

one for k's bathroom


one for mine


and one for the washroom


pink roses and heart-shaped cards weren't ideal but it was fun and relaxing,
snipping away at the flowers is indeed "a kind of soothing monotony" =)

but your new house (with and without flowers) looks spiffing. :)
