I Have A Roommate Now :)

I bought her from Publix today :) 

I wanted to get either the white or blue one initially, but since the lamp in my room is pink in colour, I decided to go for a matching set instead ;)

Hyacinth
(I prefer Hydrangea more, actually. Too bad they don't sell it in Publix.) 

Pretty, isn't she? Smells good too (though not fantastic). 

Hope she survives till I leave, at least.... haha.

Interesting stuff: 

Hyacinth symbolises playfulness, liveliness and a sporty attitude.

It's also the name of one of Zeus' grandsons in the Greek Mythology, who was a good friend of (and some said a lover of) Apollo. The charming appearance of Hyacinth stirred overwhelming jealousy within the West Wind God, Zephyrus (who was also in love with Apollo), which in turn led to Hyacinth's catastrophic death. The blood of the dying Hyacinth turned into a flower, which is now resting serenely on my desk. ;)

Oh man, what a tragic gay love triangle.
