Singapore Garden Festival (Part 1)

Yeah I went to the flower fest yesterday with Yimei. Located at Suntec Convection Hall Lv 4 and 6. Huge place i tell you. We reached at about 2 plus going 3 and only finish about almost everything at 7 near 8! And camera dies before i finished taking everything, saded, missed my favourites china Crysanthmum, damn nice and beautiful can!!!!!! Hope my mum wants to go this weekend then I can complete my shoots. Whahaha...

Well I divided into parts cuz i got freaking lots of fotos, 500 plus of them, GASP!! I took only 300 plus on NDP and 100 plus on Christmas. Freak.

Anyway lets start. When we first entered we are greeted by Pumpkins. All shape and sizes and colours.



Farnie, and near it was exhibits about plant killers, disgusting bugs and diseases. And they have dishes of them for you to put under microscope. Vrrrrrrrr, disgusted.


These are the ones that killed all my plants last time. I hate the white mould most, eerie and disgusting. But fruits that has them on it taste better, must be they like them too.

Then there are the farm areas, with all the veggies growing.

Don't think they are fake cuz of their shinning surface, they are real and they rots.

Then there are my favourites, BOTTLE GARDENS!!!! So nice can!

Yeah, ex, they let ppl place bids and at the end of the show they get to have them. I wanted to buy one at the booths, but damn, one mid size bottle cost $58. I wanted to ask them what are the flowers suitable for planting in and do one myself, but there are nobody to enquire to. =(

Wooo, what are these?? Cute hor, ideas for CNY decos nxt year. Haha.


Then there are some great display of interesting and exotic plants. The carnivores in the plant releam, the pitcher plant aka 猪笼草.

They eat only insects, they don't grow up to enormous size like those in cartoons that opens and gobble human, if they do, they probably dies, cuz the exhibitor says meat are too nutritious for them to take. They eat oni insects like ants, grasshopper and flies etc.

And I bought a pet from there too. Let me introduce you to her.


The uncle pratically says its quite easy to take care of, they eat ants (the main reason i bought her. To terminate those at home.) Just feed some fertillzers once in 2 or 3 wks, little water, yada yada.... But when came back to my comp and Yahoo! a bit, i found out that I'm conned in abt half the things he said. Haiz, Yahoo! says ants are too small to be eated, and taking in fertillizers nutrients aren't good for them and they probably dies in 6 mths. They suggest self feed them with hoppers, maggots and other insects that can be purchase in aquarium shops.

But anyway, will try my best to get it up and alive cuz I'm competing with Yimei, see who will get them up healthy.

Anyway, exhibits till 25 dec, price is $12 at wkends, students at $5 and passion card, ntuc card holders oni $7.

Behold.. new entry coming up when battery charged, fotos transfered and edited.

Another foto loaded entry, 敬请期待。

And discover today that i have a super idiot and irritating neighbour. I went out today and he came back, i missed the lift he took, and i saw it went up, i tot there are others in the lift. When i reached the car park, i noticed my hp isn't with me so i travel back again, and i saw him coming down.

When i got my hp and was waiting for the lift, he came up again, and i stepped into the lift w/o assuring if it is going up or down, cuz nobody else is inside, so by right it is going down. But to my horror when i saw the buttons, it is lit 22 23 24 25!!!! KNS and it is going up. I managed to reset the buttons but the there is another neighbour coming in frm 23. This auntie must be thinking i'm stupid and dont know how to control the lift.

And i also notice that lots of Singaporeans have totally no idea of giving way to photographers. I was taking fotos today and was adjusting, some dumbells can just walk right infront of me n stand there to chat. Nabei waste my battery can, and thus i got not enuff battery to last through my whole day.

Any way, the good is coming. B patient.

Xmas 2006

Yeah went to Orchard some days ago and took fotos of the decos this yr. Golden Golden.




Lets start with the most popular one, and the reason why Santa decided not to come Singapore this year.



The Swarovski Crystal Tree at Heeren and the four other trees at the cross junction. Lets call them the....



Very nice, except for the green one, it looks like a haunted tree. Got water flowing sumore, like melting snow. Like the white one best.

Inside Heeren.


Veri golden feel, but they have decos only at the centre.

Olympus also make their very own tree.


Me and YM walke the whole strech and manage to capture most of them... others are out cuz... louya hands and camera...

The ones that got in to "properly capture hall"...







Overall, the concept this year are abit better then the previous years. But compare to 10 yrs ago, its very bad. I always remember they had got those big bears and santa that moves, cute and lively.

Merry Christmas. I'm trying to get the pink trees at The Cathy out from my phone, but damn the connection. And I didn't know that my phone reception didn return after I exit NEL last night or my lift. Its "kor nok" until i discover it at late afternoon. Sorry i missed your messages, stiney. Haiz... why isn't my plan up yet, Singtel got freaking low prices these days can.

hold on

updating.......
