And then we are off. Phototrip time! WooT WooT! Monday was a little let down. Change of locations. The Ubin trip was called off.
Oh well, enjoyed myself nontheless. Packed my camera gear and i was off to the Botanic Garderns. Had an overcast sky. Was praying that it wouldnt rain. Thank you God. The weather held out. As i got there, wow... Apart from the locals working there, i think i'm the only local there! Hee.
Oh well, time to blend in. Whipped out my camera and time to act touristy.
And time to get tigger happy. Started taking all sort of things. Flowers, plants, ants, bees. Whatever i could get into my viewfinder, it was captured. No hot chicks there that day though. LOL. Was a nice day to stroll about the gardens. Cool breeze, cloudy weather. Flowers are in bloom.
Managed to put full use of some of my lenses. Ah the 400mm Prime lens was finally back into service.
Macro tubes extensions was a good investment.
Oggies startd out from the visitor center and head of towards the Ginger garden.
Venture ard there, saw many pretty flowers there. Ahh... at one with nature.
Next stop, headed to the Bandstand. Along the way capture a few shots of sculptures.
And other interesting plants here and there. I think i should up load the pics.
Clearer explanation. But photobucket is taking forever!!! hehe.
Verbal description is a litte hard to explain and describe the beauty aroud me.
And i am really bad at expressing myself. Oh boy.
Oggies Here goes. First stop Ginger Gardens. I shall let Nature explain its beauty Herself. Gosh. what a sight to behold
A wasp hard a work
Spot the ants!

Happy Birthday Alex
Wow... Time sure flies.. In a blink of an eye, someone's 23 already.
Happy Birthday Alex.
Fun filled day today. Well... something most people would least expect it. hehe. But i guess its quite an experience. So here we go, location was at Raffles place Control station. As usual, i had to be late... LOL. Well, Alex was kind enough to give me a lift up from my place and we picked weimin on the way as well. By the time we got there, Jian xiong was already waiting there for us. And then we are off to clifford pier. Woah, haven been there for a real long time. The last time i went there was when i was a kid with my auntie.
So.. we waited for the boat to arrive. The Cheng Ho 2 (well... thats wad they named the boat. so... i'll let it be) pulled up to the berth. My initial response was... Gosh.. This heap is floating?? WOw.. Read in the papers that it sank or something around that line. So thoughts were a little skeptical. Anyhow.. i swear we were the only singaporeans there... The rest were like tourist. So in order to blend it.. i whipped out my trusty camera and there.... Singaporea Tourist. LOL. started taking pics here and there. they city skyline and stuff. took a while for me to get use to rocking of the boat. We were half way through the journey and bam... Water from the Heavens came pouring down. We went to the lower deck to get some food to eat. Since it was raining, phototaking was out of the question. To kill time, Weimin and Jian xiong decided to play magic cards. Wow... Maybe we took a boat ride to play cards. LOL.
We reached kusu island in abt 40mins time. Couldnt do much either cos it was still raining. decide to head to the temple to have a look see. So we braved the down pour and ran to the temple. Made a wish at a wishing well, and then we are back on board the boat. As its was still raining, couldnt do much. Hence the magic session continued. Another 40mins, and we are soon back at clifford pier. Time for dinner.
Walked to the esplanade, took a few more pics, headed to Marina Sq foe dinner.
Had dinner at Changing Appetites. The food there is quite nice i must say. Good thing we went there early, as the queue started forming almost immediately after we were seated. Man i'm stuffed. Walked ard marina sq a bit more. The nite city skyline was pretty nice. Off to find a nice location to take a pic. No tripod. argh. So use the ledge to surport my camera and take a pic. Hopefully it will turn nice.
After trugging around, we went of to eat again. LOL. Had a chocolate Foundue there. Yumm. Need to get some exercise. LOL. Soon, it was time to go home. Quite a fun day i had today. A well deserve break from my studies. hee. Woah, used up 2 rolls of film. what fun what fun.
Oggies gonna stare at the telly now.
Peace y'aLL

I think i should be studying instead of blogging. Kinda got bored of staring at the thermo notes. Taking break. Eating cookies given by Rachie. Yuummm. GOsh i'm getting fat. Not good. (guess why they call me Goldfish now.. LOLs. No more little_fish)
Rather quiet nite today. I see stars in the sky today! wooT. Another long long day again. Bummer... I need a break.. Maybe i'll go down to east coast or sentosa and stroll along the beach on of these evenings... Hope there will be a lovely sunset to see. Feeling the cool breeze brushing through your hand, the sand tickling yer feet. Going further down, cool waves sloshing ard yer ankles. And yes, gonna capture it on my camera! Oh please dont rain? PLease? Need to find some space... To R&R. I need sleep... proper sleep. Why? I'm having short naps in the nite instead.... LOLs.
Oggies.
Time to go back studying.
Stupid thermo...

There’s a miracle of friendship that
dwells within the heart
And you don’t know how it happens
or where it gets its start
But the happiness it brings you
always gives a special lift
Any you realize that friendship
Is God’s most perfect gift.
Peace y'all.
Cheers.

Flower for you
Flower Flower.
Leave u all with this poem i found.
Fair flower, that dost so comely grow,
Hid in this silent, dull retreat,
Untouched thy honied blossoms blow,
Unseen thy little branches greet;
...No roving foot shall crush thee here,
...No busy hand provoke a tear.
By Nature's self in white arrayed,
She bade thee shun the vulgar eye,
And planted here the gaurdian shade,
And sent soft waters murmuring by;
...Thus quietly thy summer goes,
...Thy days declinging to repose.
Smit with those charms, that must decay,
I grieve to see your future doom;
They died--nor were those flowers more gay,
The flowers that did in Eden bloom;
...Unpitying frosts, and Autumn's power
...Shall leave no vestige of this flower.
From morning suns and evenign dews
At first thy little being came:
If nothing once, you nothing lose,
For when you die you are the same;
...The space between, is but an hour,
...The frail duration of a flower.
