Been listening to a lot of 林峰's music these days, so I thought I would share one of his songs that had been stuck in my head last night.
Happy Saturday!
I had some free time yesterday which was nice considering it's Midterms week. Now, my Fridays usually consist of doing readings for my one afternoon class, then lounging about until I have to go to said class, but since our professor decided not to hold class yesterday to give us time to work on our midterm paper, I had a bit of free time. Now, being the diligent student that I am (not), I lounged about the room for a while before taking care of some business concerning Connecticut College (my home university if you don't know) and my summer internship. Afterwards, I continued to mull about in my room for a bit longer before deciding that I really ought to be getting something to eat (namely brunch, although it was closer to lunchtime at that point).
After a rather filling lunch of a chicken whole wheat sandwich and grapefruit green tea, I decided to take a little walk before heading back to my dorm, seeing as the weather was quite lovely--some sun and a light breeze. So off I went at a leisurely pace with no real destination in mind, only the urge to take advantage of such nice weather and spare time.
After awhile I came across a quaint little park:
大學公園 |
Okay so maybe it isn't quite a gazebo, but I really don't know what else to call it |
The male lion--you can tell he's male since he has the pearl under his right front paw... |
...while the female--the mother--will have a cub under her left front paw |
I would have kept on going too, had it not been for the ducks.
That's right folks, I paused and backtracked for a pair of blue plastic ducks! They are the kinds that stand on a giant spring (as you can see in the pictures below) and rock back and forth.
Now I don't know what kind of childhood you have all had, but parks and plastic ducks were not really a part of mine. Since it was empty and I had never ridden one of those, I decided on a whim that I would embrace my inner child and do exactly that.
I even took a selca for you guys--okay I lied, it was more for my mother, sister, and cousin--but I am not much of a selca person so I hope you are happy ;p |
Orchids growing in the tree! |
The inner botanist in me compelled me to take this picture, haha; actually I just like to take pictures of accompanying labels |
And playgrounds aren't just for kids either--they had these interesting workout tools, ramble aids and push chairs they were called--for working out your upper body or your legs.
Instructions for the push chair |
Who says you need to be a child to enjoy a playground?
Hey! This coming from a girl who kept asking me for selcas when I went to HK?! Che!!
