Fascinated with the mei gui hua

for some reason or other..i've found myself to be quite drawn to the rose this year.

but come to think of it..how can anyone not be?

After all, it's often depicted as the symbol of love and passion, romance and beauty...and only with its sheer scent can anyone be mesmerized.

yeah let me recall....

the rose was used in beauty and the beast.

it's often used in seductive moves of salsa and tango?

and yes it was also used in the da vinci code if i am not wrong? heh

perhaps to me...it's a symbol of my life la.. started all well, only to be cut by its thorn and yet i also know that i'll survive. :)
