Lunch's welcoming gift

I can't believe my luck in getting this close to this tree!! It had captured my attention months ago because it had been blooming with full of purple flowers but with very very very few leaves. I don't know what it's called but it's been there since I moved into the new room. So, every morning whenever I board the bus to my department, I would be glancing at that tree (because seconds after the bus passes the tree in front of University Hall, I would have to unboard the bus). So whenever I see that tree, I would tell myself, "must take picture of the tree before the flowers being blown away, must must...- but procrastination, you see:P). Then, weeks later, by the time I was determined to do so, the flowers were gone. How disappointed was I...

One week ago, while we were going to lunch (@ NUH), suddenly a thin tree full of purple flowers bloomed! I was so :D :D *mouth opens wide* Can't believe that there's another one here and the flowers are just as tall as me! The earlier tree at University Hall was just too high up that I wouldn't be able to get this close also!

Quickly, I get my camera and snapped on the same evening..Now, ta daaaa....






So long~

Hortpark-Telok Blangah-Mount Faber Park

After finishing lots of presentations for this semester, I finally had a good chance to loiter at the park with LG and HF. Still rushing with assignments but at least for now, there is a need for less intensive readings. I'm still reading for assignments! Also, I finally have more time to do labwork back to what I used to do before the semester start. Really a hectic semester, I would say..

We started from Hortpark and was soon greeted by a family of monkeys. They practically just walk right beside you! This one apparently walked passed me and so, I captured its backside:P

I really wonder how tired the dogs would be..the parks are about 9km in a stretch!
With uniquely well-kept seating places


With two lengluis..

And I took this picture to remind me of fall colours..though there's no fall here..

Also, a miniature of Paris Eiffel Tower :P

Spider Lily along the way..

And shady trees.. Surprisingly my legs did not ache.. I was expecting it for the next day's one.. ;)

So long~

Mooncake and Deepavali Celebrations @ YIH

GSS (Graduate Student's Society) had this Mid-autumn mooncake and Deepavali celebrations at the newly renovated YIH. The first stall we saw was this friendly man who taught us how to tie jasmine flowers knots. It was a great experience for us :D

There he is, showing us how and letting us to have 'hands-on' experiences.

How to wear turbans section

Chinese Calligraphy session..we wrote our names since we were bananas

Ohh..and this very very niceee one..henna hand dye!!
But my boss saw and was shocked! He thought it got acid burned or some accidents before he looked closely at it.


I curi-curi take picture with my gloves on- the motifs are still there! My labmates shook their head..

And this ..one of China's traditional costume..

They had traditional food session, tanglung (lantern) making session, peeling pomelo competition, Chinese Wushu performances and Indian Classical Dance.
Pretty interesting..

So long~
