Singapore Botanic Gardens 2009

I went to the Botanic Gardens last weekend!

Walking inside Botanic Garden is a good exercise for me.

When I reached the Swan lake, I saw so many groups of people around there. There were a group of kids drawing the Swans Statue, there were groups of people having picnics, there were another group feeding the "celebrity Swan" with bread. I didn't bring any bread with me!

At the Cactus garden, I saw a dog walked in front of its owner. It saw us and ran toward me! Aww, I was so happy and hugged it. There were so many people bringing their dogs to the garden. I want to bring Xiao Bai here next time too!

I walked a lot in the sun but I hardly get any tan. My complexion is really weird, I won't get tanned easily.

Enjoying the nature surroundings and imagining the piano tunes performed by Chopin!

...Remember that piano
So delightful unusual
That classic sensation
Sentimental confusion...

I was looking for this heritage tree and I found it, near to the pretty white gazebo area.

Exploring around and found these statues!

Inside the Evolution Garden! I tried to look for some Dinosaur eggs!

I posted about Botanic garden in 2006 too. Check it out here.

Have a nice day everyone! Bye for now!

Little Birdie

We usually like to stroll around our neighborhood in the late afternoons every Sunday. Last Sunday, the weather was so hot that we had to take a different road which has more trees, but this road was really quiet, the two HDB buildings next to each other looked so empty.

"This road is really quiet! These buildings are all empty..." I held Lg's hand and tried to walk faster.

"Someone committed suicide from one of these buildings before! Jumped down from the top floor! Are you scared?" He tried to scare me!

"No... But next time, I don't want to walk this road anymore!"

Suddenly Lg pointed his hand to the bushes nearby: "Look, a little bird is standing there, it's chirping! So loud!"

I became excited and walked closer to the bird, it didn't fly away, and I heard lots more chirping sounds from the bushes. I squatted down and saw more than 3 birds standing near to each other. I reached my hand towards them and one of them jumped onto my arm. Then I managed to grab its tiny legs, but gently enough to make sure I didn't hurt it. I showed Lg the bird and he was so shocked.

LG: " Wow, it's so small and you still can catch it?"

BB: "Uh huh!...Can I bring it home?"

LG: "No, it'll chirp non-stop in the middle of the night and that's very noisy! I will take some photos of you with the birdie though!"

"Little little birdie, why are you so chirpy?"

LG: "Let it go! Enough of birdie for now, I'm hungry!"

BB: "Will these birdies always be here?"

LG: "I think so!"

BB: "I want to walk here again next time!"

Photo editing software

I made these lovely frames for my photos using Photoscape, a free photo editing software. Thanks YT for mentioning this software on her blog that's why I know about it. Photoscape is really friendly and easy to use.


This photo is so cute, it can be a re-ment card! A big plate of Smoked Salmon Salad made by me. It's very yummy and healthy I tell ya!
"Jerineeee, have some veggie?"

Isn't this lovely? I'm going to print this out and stick it somewhere, maybe on the fridge!


Xiao Bai, with Panda on head!



By the way, have anyone used Picasa 3? I downloaded both software to try out. But after trying out for a while, I didn't like Picasa 3 and wanted to uninstall it, but it just didn't let me! When I clicked on the uninstall button, something popped up and told me the uninstall was denied!

I'm using Window Vista, so everytime I encountered this kind of problem, I tried to use System Restore to fix the problem, but this time, system restore failed too!

That's so frustrating! But I don't know how to fix it after that.

Photoscape is so much better!
