During the Heian period (794-1185), gardens shifted from solely representing religious beliefs to becoming, "a place for ceremonies, amusement, and contemplation" (Miller). Gardens began to surround mansions that had the shinden-zukuri style (Japanese Lifestyle). In this style, the garden was located at the front of a building, also known as the south side (Japanese Lifestyle). As part of the garden style, there was water flowing through artificial passages that eventually spilled into ponds with little islands in them (Japanese Lifestyle). Very few of these gardens have survived to this day, and thus, are certainly a rarity in modern history. Despite the lack of modern day examples, we have the book of Sakuteiki that describes how people of this era formulated this garden style movement (Japanese Lifestyle). Later in this period, pure-land-style gardens became popular through the Pure Land Buddhism Zen influence, and these gardens imitated the Paradise in the Western Pureland as a result (Japanese Lifestyle). During this shift in style, the Japanese also began to model their gardens and homes after the Amitabha hall style instead of the shinden style write (Japanese Lifestyle). Examples of the Amitabha style can be seen today probably in Mahayana Hall (Nara), Byodoin (Uji, Kyoto), the Jyoruri Temple, and Motsuji Temple (Hiraizumi, Nishi, Iwai, Iwate) (Japanese Lifestyle).
In the Kamakura and Muromachi periods case files (1185-1573), a great many gardens were created during these two time periods due to improved garden techniques and the development of Syoinzukuri style (Japanese Lifestyle). Zen beliefs were also flourishing at this time and just had great influences over garden techniques and purposes. Another factor that allowed adding gardens to flourish stems from the fact that the shoguns simply enjoyed gardens. Dry landscape style also emerged during this time (Japanese Lifestyle). A notable gardener who appeared during these periods is Soseki Muso: He made Saihoji Temple (Kyoto), Tenruji Temple (Kyoto), and Zuizenji Temple (Kamakura) gardens. (Japanese Lifestyle) V(^^)V

Yesterday i went to a mall....hang out with friends......
Idk why but i felt pain in my stomach, so i went to a rest room which is nobody there.
I just sit down but i heard a heavy voice of an uncle said: "How is it boy? Are you alright?" from d next room.
I was surprised, cuz im not used to talk to strangers, but i answered "Yes, im fine"
But suddenly he asked again: "How is it now? Relieved already?"
Gosh. Wat a question?!? I just sit for a minute, so i answered it randomly: "Not bad, fortunately i dont have to queue....."
He answered it again, "Oh same with me.............but i have a little problem here........"
I feel there's something suspicious here, then i ask him, "What problem sir?"
He answered it, "Uhm....honey......there's a stupid boy next to my room keep answering me..........I think i'll call u later?OK......seeya hon......"
