I had a lot on my mind lately. However, when I was working on my art project, I felt very calm. We were supposed to design some flower logos to fix on our imaginary florist signboard and there was this part where we had to search for at least five types of flowers. That was when I'd realised that looking at flowers are soothing. Even though they're just images. I wonder what will happen if I'm admiring various kinds of REAL flowers. I think I'll faint with happiness, then. ;)

Ah, a white rose is amazing. In my opinion, they're more beautiful than red ones. I remembered reading a magazine saying the combination, the amount and the different colours of roses portray different meanings.

Colours of Roses
Red Roses = Love, Respect, Courage, Passion, Congratulations
Dark Red Roses = Unconcious Beauty
Yellow Roses = Friendship, Caring, Joy, "Welcome Back"
White Roses = Truth, Innocence, Purity, Silence, Charm, Secrecy, Reverence, Worthiness, "I miss you", "You're heavenly"
Bridal White Roses = Happy Love
Pink Roses = Happiness, Gracefulness, Romance
Light Pink Roses = Admiration, Gentleness, Grace, Gladness, Joy, Sweetness=
Deep Pink Roses = "Thank you"
Black Roses = New Beginnings, Rebirth
Lavender / Lilac Roses = Enhancement, Deep Adoration, Majestic, Opulent, Love at First Sight, Enchanted
Peach Roses = Gratitude, Appreciation, Sincerity, Modesty
Orange / Coral Roses = Desire, Enthusiasm, Fascination, Pride
Blue Roses = Impossible, Unattainable
Dead Roses = "It's over"

Combination of Roses
White Roses + Yellow Roses = Harmony
Red Roses + Yellow Roses = Happiness, Celebration
Red Roses + White Roses = Unity, Harmony
Red Rose + Yellow Rose + Coral Rose = Love, Respect, Joy, Friendship, Desire
Pale Peach Rose + Lavender Rose + Deep Pink Rose = Modesty, Enchantment, Thankfulness
White Rose + Pale Pink Rose + Orange Rose = Innocence, Secrecy, Grace, Joy, Fascination

Amount of Roses
Single Red Rose = "I love you"
Single Rose in Any Colour = Simplicity, Gratitude, "I thank you"
Two Roses Entwined = Engagement, Marriage
A Bouquet of Roses in Full Bloom = Gratitude, Great Beauty, Perfection

Now you know what the sender means when they send you a blue rose or a yellow one or some other coloured rose. Don't be so perasan and say, "Oh, he gave me a yellow rose. He must be in love with me!" NO. Yellow rose means friendship lah, hello?

I know why I prefer white roses. They express a lot of meaning - most importantly, PURITY!!! - and they're in my favourite shade - white. 8D Hmm, I feel that I changed a lot, like, am I more emo or something??? Weird. =/ Nevermind, I shall go engross myself in the goodness of white roses now and forget that the world ever existed.
