三个纯品加起来 = 七座山?!? o_O





太赞了。。。 。。。





每一个都好美，好‘苗条’。。。 。。。





突然间有想用头去撞墙的冲动。。。 。。。





有时候我真的怀疑自己是不是小时候动过心脏手术的人。 我的心脏比我预料中的还坚强。。。





哭笑不得。。。 。。。





（说真的，看着它画出一座又一座的山时，真的还蛮好笑的。。。 ）

Chua Chu Kang Park

Because Hx need to help out her father in the afternoon, Hx and Lele decided to go to Chua Chu Kang Park for a short walk this time...

We met at Chua Chu Kang for breakfast at 0900. Not KFC this time... We have toasted bread set meal at Ya Kun.

From oOOo When I am free oOOo

After breakfast, we walked down to the nearby Chua Chu Kang Park. We are blessed with good weather again ^^

From oOOo When I am free oOOo

We first walked around the park to explore...

Back to the starting point, we shamelessly follow the board and do the warm up excises...

It was written that 5 rounds around the park will covered approximately 2km (each round covered 580m), so we decided to walk till 1100+ to see how many rounds we can complete... We are able to complete 6 rounds and get to see something different during the first 3 rounds ^^





1st round, talking about how "auntie" we looked walking briskly, swinging our arms and shaking our backside... We saw a green lizard...

At the 2nd round, we saw a black naped oriole... but Lele was too slow in taking out the camera to take a photograph... Continue the "auntie" walking style...





3rd round, we saw Mr Squirrel No. 2...

We were busily chatting for the remaining 3 rounds and didn't get to see anything new T_T Nevertheless, it was still fun... Something light which do not exert my still weakened body...

乐在岛津的日子 ０５

乐乐回到公司了!!





大家都来慰问乐乐的身体健康。。。　





回到HPLC前，乐乐看了它跑出来的成绩。。。　脑海里不禁浮起一个想法。。。





该不会是被这家伙给气病的吧??





乐～

乐不在岛津

乐乐拿了三天的病假。。。

这三天里，乐乐整天都在家吠。。。





不不，乐乐才不是狗，不会吠。。。 是废。。。





每天睡到日已三竿 （说难听的就是睡到太阳晒屁股啦=.=）， 起来吃午餐，吃药，看书，吃晚餐，吃药，做电脑的奴隶，睡觉。。。

From oOOo When I am free oOOo

每日成语：日已三竿-- 形容太阳升得很高，时间不早了。也形容人起床太晚。同“日上三竿”。

So "blur", so touched

Yy and Zx went to Langkawi for holiday and came back today...

To welcome them back, Lele and mum went to the Changi Airport to fetch them... but as Lele mistooken the time for the plane to take off as that it land on Singapore, we waited for almost 2 hours at the Coffee Bean... Sorry mum >.<... ...

The weather was very nice that day...

From oOOo When I am free oOOo

Yy got Lele some seaweed because Lele really like to eat them. When Lele asked Yy how much she paid for them, she said: Don't know...

From oOOo When I am free oOOo

Haha, somehow Lele just feel so touched that Yy brought the seaweed for Lele without checking the price. Hmm, maybe because it was cheap generally?

Singapore Botanic Garden

This week, Hx and Lele decided to go to the Botanic Garden...





As with last week, we met at 0900 to have our breakfast at KFC. This time, both of us ordered porridge.

From oOOo When I am free oOOo

Both of us failed to check the way to Botanic Garden as we thought that "Hx/Le will do so" =.= Luckily I remembered that we could take a bus from Orchard...





Took bus 190 from Chua Chu Kang bus interchange to Far East and transfer to bus 105 (we asked the bus driver for the bus number. We waited so l--o--n--g for 105 that by the time we reached the Botanic Garden, it was already 1125

We started by walking around the swan lake...

Next, we went to the ginger garden... Walking around, Hx was saying that the leave of ginger family looks like that of banana tree... After we read the board, we found out that they are of the same order- ginger order together with the bird of paradise. We are both happy that we got to learn something new ^^

After the ginger garden, we walked down the palm valley and around the symphony lake.

We then walked down the clunky park way to the evolution garden. It is an interesting place with educating boards around, telling the story of how life came about on the Earth.

Continuing down the clunky park way, we went to the eco park next. We had our lunch at the bougainvillea area.

And we never knew that the ginger plant have such a beautiful flower. All we know is eat =.=

After the eco park, we start to walk back taking another route... We entered the rain forest followed by the orchid garden. We managed to get a student price for the orchid garden, paying 1 dollar instead of 5 for adult =)

Existing the orchid garden, we went to Lele's all time favorite, bandstand. Can you guess why it is one of Lele's favorite places in botanic garden?

We got lost but we still managed to find our last stop: the sundial garden^^
