You know, that feeling when you're lying on your bed with a book in your hands, and it's just so amazing you can't put it down? Oh and not to forget, it's smell of fresh paper. Just imagine the new wonders you'll find with every turn of it's page, isn't it pure bliss? I don't know bout you, but reading never fails to put me in a good mood :) In fact, I don't even know why some people hate reading! Books are like, the most beautiful & innocent thing ever known by mankind. So to top it off, do you notice something new about my blog?! Hahahha, I finally got down to editing the html and changing stuffs. It took me about an hour ++ ok!
Hmmm, so I dug out "Eat Pray Love" from the bookshelf last night cos I desperately needed to read and I didn't wnna read anymore wattpad stories for now. It was flown from Japan! My aunt got it for me when she was there a few months ago. Its second-hand, but still in mint condition :) So anyway, I was reading it and wondering to myself what a huge fool I've been during the few months that I didn't even look at it, and then.....
Do you see the 4 leaf clover?! It's not the colour you see up there though, I edited the picture to make it nicer, but the effects ruined the real colour of the clover ): It's a dark murky green in reality, and it's all flat and dried up cos someone pressed it in the book ^^
And it's leaves are so so pretty cos they're heart-shaped!
So..obviously I didn't finish my chinese zuowen cos I spent my whole evening reading on my bed, couch and other locations in the house. But still, nothing beats reading in the kitchen at night though ;)
"To find the balance you want, this is what you must become. You must keep your feet grounded so firmly on the earth that it's like you have four legs, instead of two. That way, you can stay in the world. But you must stop looking at the world from your head. You must look through your heart, instead." - Eat Pray Love

Okay back to my four leaf clover,
Real, genuine four-leaf clovers come from the White Clover plant, trifolium repens, considered to be the Original Shamrock. You may find others selling leaves as four-leaf clovers that are not genuine. These are actually Pepperwort or Water Clover (Marsilea Quadrifolia and Marsilea Polycarpa) or Oxalis (Oxalis deppei or Oxalis tetraphylla) plants that produce all four leaves. Another way of identifying a real four-leaf clover is that the fourth leaf is usually smaller than the other three leaves.
Got this from a website cos I wanted to know if mine was real or not! And of course, why they brought good luck.
So anyway, according to Google,
1 leaf is for faith
1 leaf is for hope
1 leaf is for love
1 leaf is for luck
:)
And what better place to find a clover than in a spiritual and inspirational book?!
I know I'm getting a littleeee too superstitious, but I can't help it! Hehehs. Oh and there's no school tomorrow, REJOICE ;D
Alright then ttfn, time to start on my zuowen. I mean it this time ;)
