A trip to the zoo and update on the shop

I brought my student to the zoo, it has been sometime since I last made a visit to the zoo. Here are some pics that I took that have been waiting to be uploaded for sometime, I m still trying to adjust to blogger.com , I still prefer wordpress, but I just have no idea what went wrong with my puter that keeps shutting wordpress down …sigh .

This was found at the entrance of the zoo, it reminds me of the animation Ice Age when the mammoth goes through the cave to find some drawings and he find mommy elephant and daddy elephant being together.

I have never seen such a big croc or alligator in my life , it was huge..

I have to say I was just a teeny bit scared of falling down into the area and come face to face with it…

We saw the usual giraffes, zebras and lions

We saw the most popular attraction …the white tigers, my student was so excited, her favourite animal after watching Kung Fu Panda, Master Tigeress.

The zoo seem to have all these statues and I really like them all…

It was fun going to the zoo after all these years !

Next up , my shop has been updated after the longest time…

 

 

Find them on www.chirchi965.etsy.com

Have a great weekend everyone

What the?

This is from blogspot ….

Its been sometime, since I last moved to blogspot…after wordpress kinda crashed on me …boo hoo…but anyways I don’t plan to stop blogging.

I had to get up at 3 am in the morning to attend a special pooja sometime ago….it was quite an experience and after which I had an invitation for housewarming from my uncle all on the same day.

Upon reaching his flat we found a seafood restaurant with all these fishes and crabs waiting for their turn to the dinner plate.

I finally had a chance to go to batu cave in Malaysia last month , before heading off to Kuala Lumpur, we dropped by Johor Bahru Mariamman temple and had a hearty breakfast at a nearby Indian food stall.

This is at the temple

and later somewhere in between Johor and Kuala Lumpur

and finally made it to Kuala Lumpur and onto Batu Caves

and later after climbing up the stairs all the way to the top harrassed by monkeys and rainfall ( although the stairs weren’t slippery just the occasional banana peels littered here and there by the monkeys… you get to see this beautiful statue

and you walk on to see that are more stairs to be tackled , going down and up again

and you see the main shrine

After praying , I went on to tackle the next set of stairs even further , 

unfortunately I did not take my camera with me to take pictures …..it was wonderful just to be there and see this…

and after a bit of wandering around I went down the steps to have another shot

The time was up to head back to our travel coach and this time I didn’t think the monkeys will bother me so I got to take some photos descending…

and this shot was taken roughly around the tip of the statue od Murugan..

It was a long and tiring trip but I enjoyed myself

(No Title)

A sunflower , would make a great looking shower head thingy.

Imagine if you please, having a shower with an accessory such as this, I think it heaven if such a device be made to look like a sunflower, especially for those who are crazy about sunflowers as I am. I have to say that the layout has to be thought out properly, nothing too gaudy, somewhat simple and perfect.

On thursday we had a field trip to Changi Airport Terminal 3, newly built, I took very few pictures as my class was fairly in need of control. I have 3 pictures to offer, nothing of consequence mind you.

Why oh why do we need number 3! -_-

A plane landing or taking off….

My dear little Li Xuan, with her new “woof,woof”

Some new purchases…

Mobile charms

New cushion covers

These remind me of Ikea…

This particular cover is super uber kawaii….

Lastly, some stuff that I made, which are in need of a proper photo shoot before they can be put up for sale on Etsy.

The bird series continues, and I am hoping on transforming the fishies and octopus to some sea life mobile.

Anyways, that’s all for now, hope you have a fantastic weekend.

My Life ! ( Doggie Life )

* Sniff …sniff …* Hello, this is me. Today I will take you on a tour of my place and some other places as well!

What are you waiting for? Follow me!

First up, we go by car to this place …called the Seletar Reservoir.

Dad says that we came here to let some fishies free….I dunno why though..lets take a lookie..

Ooooo woof! woof! I see one….

That was fun , now we go to this place to find some monkeys…and we do…I don’t like them, they took my biscuit …grrrrrowl

Mom says lets go back home..Lesgo…Yay! Hmm….I wonder how our new family is coping..I gotta check on them.

Well, here is our eldest family member..I think she is quite ancient, 7 years old.

Next, we have our newest addition , little hammy….looks like I woke it ‘Oops’

I’m sorry buddy!

Now we come to the water area..this is the second oldest member.

And a new friend, who decided to come out of hiding just for me…thanks pal!

Lastly, another new friend, birdie… Though I m not sure why birdie is a bit nervous around me.

Well now… I would like to stay but I see the weather is nice for a quick nap.

Sooooo cozzzzie.

Byee!

A trip to Batam.

Today we went to Batam.Got up early, only to miss the first ferry by a few mintues,thanks to dad. The motive of the trip was to visit a hindu temple. Having arrived at our desination, my sister berated herself for not bringing the camera with her.What awaited next to the temple grounds was truly a sight to behold. Well, it was for me. The temple was a balinese style hindu temple. The structure looked as if it was resting on a dragon. I could probably rave about the temple for hours.The balinese people working on the temple seem to be of careless sort as I found that i had stepped on a piece of thorn branch which looked liked a harmless piece of stick. That brought memories of the time i was in india when i was 4 yrs old,when I stepped on a thorn branch with thorns the length of more then one inch. We had an uneventful lunch at a nearby restaurant. Got a taxi and went to shopping centre next to the ferry centre.
