ANSWER REVEALED:
sorry for my mistakes… Well..
Question:
What is the largest flower in the world?
Answer:
The Rafflesia arnoldii.
(The following extracted frm http://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/mysteries/flower.html)
The flower with the world’s largest bloom is the Rafflesia arnoldii. This rare flower is found in the rainforests of Indonesia. It can grow to be 3 feet across and weigh up to 15 pounds! It is a parasitic plant, with no visible leaves, roots, or stem. It attaches itself to a host plant to obtain water and nutrients. When in bloom, the Rafflesia emits a repulsive odor, similar to that of rotting meat.
This odour attracts insects that pollinate the plant.
Another enormous flower found in Indonesia is the Amorphophallus titanum, or Titan arum. It is also known as the "corpse flower" for its unpleasant odour. Like the Rafflesia, the Titan emits the smell of rotting flesh to attract pollinators. Technically, the Titan arum is not a single flower. It is a cluster of many tiny flowers, called an inflorescence. The Titan arum has the largest unbranched inflorescence of all flowering plants. The plant can reach heights of 7 to 12 feet and weigh as much as 170 pounds!

yup..
so, when u gain something, u’ll lose something as well (my opinion la)
u can b d king or even d queen of d world, bt mayb u won’t get sth else tht u desired for..
u may be d richest person in the world, bt mayb u r not feeling happy..
everythin is fair in tis world..
everything happens with a reason or even reasons..
n everything has a timbang..
u gain sth oso means u’ll lose sth..
u r pretty bt mayb u r a music deaf..
tis is life..
watever u lose, u’ll get back in somewhere else…
everything around u has its own scales n balance.
dun u tink so?? =P
August 15th, 2006 at 3:02 am
so, wat i wanna say is.. even tho they r largest, bt they r smelly… d smelliest..i can say… =P
August 15th, 2006 at 4:14 am

geng…
pei fu pei fu…
bt i really agree wif
“when you gain something, you will lose something as well.”
i always believe tat…
bt always afraid it will come true…
i really hope to get hold of everything i have now…
n i cant afford to lost them!!
i cant think of the day if tat happens…
mayb i’ll lose the strength to continue the journey of my life…
*yeeyee^^ just emo-ing la…let it b…=p*
August 15th, 2006 at 8:20 am
haha.. ya.. i understand..
when u lose sth very important in ur life, u’ll feel tht d timbang in ur life is serong dy..
u’ll feel tht tht’s d end of ur life..
bt tis is life..
v’ve to learn..
learn to face all d obstacle n learn how to overcome them..
juz an example, one day, our parents for sure’ll leave us, tht’s undeniable….
tis is life…
unpredictable yet can b wonderful n exciting sometimes.. of coz, it can b sad sometimes too..

wenyun^^
August 15th, 2006 at 6:31 pm

come back 2 the point…
*we need frens*
haha…
bt would u hope nt 2 gain sth in order nt 2 lose sth in ur life?
erm…
u can write a blog for tis liao…
hehe…
August 16th, 2006 at 8:35 am
hmm…. i’m not sure..
d thing i wanna gain mayb is sth i REALLY want…
bt d thing i lose mayb is sth i dun wanna lose pulak..
BUT.. if d thing i dun wanna lose is more important n if i choose not to gain n my life is still ok, i tink i would REALLY rather NOT TO LOSE.
I would REALLY choose NOT TO GAIN.
bt.. sometimes it’s not up to me to choose to gain or not to..
The God has decided everything.
n i hv to accept it.
If i’m given d chance to choose and the thing i dun wanna lose is really much more important, mayb.. i tink… i really choose NOT TO GAIN.
bt sometimes v hv no control over our own life.
All v can do is accept it and try to adapt to it.
All we need is gratitude. We have to be grateful for everything we have now and appreciate each and every of it, so that at least we won’t regret when we have lost it. At least we’ll still have sweet memories….
