:: purpose ::

=) i dunno... but i guess i'm starting to discover the purpose of the fyp... God's purpose for me.. =)

i'm starting to get v interested in the animals i'm working on... today on my way home i was reading a book on giraffes... three times i laughed while reading..

for my fyp i need to include the place where the animal lives, n in the book it is stated tt giraffes lives in open woodlands. i wonder if the MINDS students will go to Woodlands to find giraffes...? n i was trying to imagine giraffes with high blood pressure... well, they do have it in fact.. then there's the part abt birth.. lemme quote the paragraph... "The birth itself takes between one and two hours. The female does not make matters easy for the calf because she gives birth standing up. The calf's arrival into the world is followed by a 2-metre drop on to hard ground..." poor thing.. i feel so awed by how cute n small the baby giraffe is compared to the adult!

i feel especially amazed with God, for the natural instincts of survival... when browsing (the term used for giraffe eating leaves), the males always take the taller part of the tree while the females can take the slightly lower part.. tt's so tt there wun be competition for food!! wow! v considerate n intelligent of them to think of tt! getting to noe these animals better makes me want to understand more... i wan to watch the way these animals realli behave, rather than juz reading abt them off books...

i'm starting to love giraffes.. becuz they r realli friendly, they look out for one another while feeding/drinking water, even together with other animals! they rank themselves after a test of strength not by violent fighting, but necking.. hmm.. i love the pic of a young giraffe hiding between its mother's legs!!

praise God for providing for these animals n giving them the intelligence to protect themselves n ensure the safety of their next generation...
