Good Gracious Me!!!

I have been so busy nowadays i don't even have time for my personal space. That reminds me that i haven't start shopping for christmas presents for my beloved ones as well as my students. And when i do have the time, my energy level got real low nothing was working. Sucks.

And anyway, this is gonna be a picture-filled entry. Less words, more graphic. =D
Alright. Photos. =D

My Goldfishes.





And more about the water fountain in front of my door.
I brought this plant which has such fine-looking leaves and it looks so cute. I researched and found out the name is Asparagus Setaceus. God knows what that means.

And the tortoise pam pam gave me found it's home here. Sitting on a wooden log.


And my bird nest fern that's hanging on the wooden log too. My warned his girlfriend to not touch it because it's my favourite plant and i pay special attention to it everyday. HAHA.

I brought this against mummy's wish but it's just so flurry and furry. It's a kind of fern that doesn't need much sunlight which is ideal for corridor area.

Book this when it was going cheap at Jalan Bahar Pottery Farm. When i brought it, it was literally covered with a thick layer of dust. After washing and scrubing it twice, it's got sparkling clean and probably one of those buys that makes you feel like you have just gotten a good deal.

A present from Fei Yang years ago.

And i've also just set up a Koi pond in my balcony. We brought some kois from a neighbourhood aquarium shop. The kois aren't expensive. The pond itself is.

My favourite one is the golden whitish one. Sexy!

To go along with the festive seasons, we set up our annual christmas tree (different decorative ornaments though) in my teaching room. Instead of putting a star at the top of the tree, we put a huge santa instead!







I'm getting a bit distracted now because my brother just walked past with his heavily-straight-into-the-nose perfume.

*cough*

Okay. Back to blogging. Ah. We have a special guest that day. A really beautifully eerie looking caterpillar.




We went kite-flying some time ago. It was a total failure. There wasn't any wind and we have to resort to running a great deal. Got ourselves sweaty and drained with disappointment and the kite was still lying on the grass smiling at us graciously. Nevertheless, we had so much fun. Lesson learnt, don't attempt kite-flying unless there's a storm coming.



Check out the last photos. And oops. I might have gone overboard playing with the exposure of the photos. =X


One day before my birthday. Met Royston and god knows where did a cake pop out from and it was a little celebration for my birthday. I swear i wasn't expecting anything of that sort. It was such a pleasant little surprise. Thanks!



Lastly, the one-day-trip of driving around the east. We went to the Changi Beach and random unknown places.

Along the sandy beach.

Anemone. A rather small one.

Dead Crab. Rest in Peace crabby.

These little crabs will hook their hind legs to a leave and hide underneath it. The rest of the legs will be used for walking. So what you see is actually a piece of walking leave. It's a common sight at the beach.

A filefish? Correct me if i am wrong. =x

Little lobsters of different colours. We spotted black, green, grey, red, orange and pale brown. Only managed to catch green and brown.

Shrimps. Check out the size of the black-and-white one. If i am to be born to be a shrimp in my next life, i will choose the latter. You can't go wrong with black-and-white colour. =D

Some yummy looking fish. According to mummy. HAHA.

Hermit Crab. The size of my palm. Maybe slightly smaller than that.

This flowery looking crab stationed itself on a sea pen.

My brother.







Drove along this long stretch of road right beside the runway of the airport. pulled over the car at the side and we got out of the car and camwhore a little. *cough*. And no, the car you see at the background wasn't what i was driving. I will never go for gold colour. It's just too.. uncle. The last photo was our family! Daddy was totally drained and he wasn't feeling too well. =(



Visited the plantation farms to get some more plants for myself last week! I love how untouched the huge piece of grass field they have there. I hope our dear government will just leave it alone.

That's all for now. Merry Christmas in Advance people! Ho ho ho...!
