Initially, Leona, Hui Ying and I had one pot. We shared, and Leona named it Bea- Nee. But Mel said we could each have one. So Hui Ying and I rushed to the mini-garden to take our pick. While Hui Ying took her time to choose the better looking pot, one not so special pot caught my attention.
Maybe it looked ordinary to everyone else, that's why it was left in the mini-garden. Maybe it didn't look very healthy, that's why it was left standing alone trying very hard to hold up its leaves.
But to me, it was very special. It wasn't the greenest, it didn't have the largest leaves, it didn't even grow straight. That's what was so special about it, it wasn't growing straight, and it reminded me so much of someone.
And thus I decided to name it Cheon Hee...
Ee Cheon Hee...
Day 1:
(you can already see that its not very healthy)
(its side view, and its really slanted)
(its little name tag I made)
Day 5:
(Shooting straight upwards!)
Initially, it didn't grow straight. It was bending right, showing its roots, and its leaves were already touching my table. I had to pull it out bit by bit, and plant it in again. But it didn't look like it was going to hold.
In some way, it looks beautiful to me. From the first time I saw it, it was green and I felt relaxed looking at it. It was beautiful in its own way, but somehow still lacking that certain 2%. Reminded me of someone I saw on youtube. Some show that I like to watch, funny and heart warming.
So I decided to name my plant after one of the characters from the show. To me, he looks very special and eye-catching even from the first look. But slowly he shows even the most beautiful person has that certain 2% lacking. Just like my plant.
And despite all difficulties, it still grows well.
