Amongst The Clouds That Hide

Yesterday was really fun. We the HLMers went to pasir Ris park for practicl to see how people transplant trees. Then the machine has this crane with a bucket which the people can use to go up to prune the crown. After they are done with their pruning and transplanting work Mr Sim, our tree teacher (No, he's no treefolk. mr specific term, arborist) gave us a chance to seat on the bucket and go up to the sky!!! I was the first one and it went really high!!! The bucket was high up at about 30 metres off the ground and it was real scary but then later you find it really nice and exhilarating!!! You can see the sky and the sea in great attitude and view!!! Not only that, the bucket also sway in the wind, and there's a hole on a side of the bucket, so you sometimes feel that you might drop to the bottom!!! I have to hang on to my dear life, though I know I'm protected by a belt tied to my waist!

Sake has a fragant smell, and taste like ethanol. I still prefer my white wines and tequilas.

I am so in love with the anime Utawarerumono!!! Its so ancient and has an accent of 12 kingdoms and scrapped princess!!! Must watch!! And their first song, musouka, is really nice. Anyways, there was one part of the show which made me cry. And its not one tear or two, it really sob sob cry.
There was this grandmother, and she was dying, and there she was saying to one of the main characters, in the presence of her two grandaugthers:

I have lived for far longer than I wanted to
I have no misgivings on my upcoming departure
But, these two are what I'm worried about
Please... take care of them
(emotics of the characters)
Being able to die with my two grandchildren by my side... My life wasn't so bad after all...
I have no regrets
None... none at all.
