I got so inspired looking at birds illustrations that I just had to try to make one myself. So here's my love birds. It's only a doodle, I'm planning to make a bigger watercolor version of it.

I had my day off today and so we went to embassy applying for visa. We were early, the appointment fixed at 09:30 AM and the guard didn't let us in unless it was 09:30 sharp! But I didn't mind at all. Oh the weather was just perfect, somewhere near cloudy but we still got sun. And the surrounding? Gosh, I love it. Pretty quiet coz the embassy is located just across the road from Botanical Garden, Bukit Timah entrance, and there are small, cozy cafes just a house away. Already we planned for a quick breakfast and me planning for a lunch as well in a cafe upstairs haha It was a struggle to keep up with the diet. Oh well.
In the end though, hubby went back to office after applying visa so I got the rest of the day to myself. Ordered a huge breakfast with caffe latte, and I was glad I brought my book and sketchbook with me. Sitting outside, sketched passers-by while enjoying my breakfast was priceless. Honestly.
After the breakfast, on impulse, I entered the Botanical Garden, sketchbook and pen at hand.
My first memory of dragonflies was when I was in kindergarten school *i think* in Lombok island. Me, my brother and my dad were outside, in a small alley just in front of our house. My dad was supervising slash playing with us :D Somehow we spotted a dragonfly hovering near the wall and me and my brother chased it. I remember vividly, I held its fragile, transparent wings, fascinated. Until now, whenever I see a dragonfly, I'm always brought back into that moment in my childhood.
