Below is the link to the BirdPark photos taken in April. Not a lot of them as it rained barely 2 hours after we stepped in. No matter what, i hope you will like the pics taken. =)
Jurong BirdPark
Following a mini spice hunt and cookery lesson last year for our annual company activity day, in mid April this year, they arranged for an afternoon class of basic pottery with Clay Cove. It was a fun filled afternoon (far better than any organised lunches or presentations that company had so far) with lots of hands on experience and interaction with the instructors. This is the sort of events that i hope to see happening more often, something that entails interaction with one single focus theme.=)
Not that last year was lousy but it was a little unfocused as they tried to introduce the spices to us through a mini spice hunt in their little garden and followed by a cooking lesson with the use of spices. All of these within a small space of 3 or 4 hours and so everything was of a little rush. Thus not as enjoyable as this year's pottery lesson. In any case, i was able to capture a lot of priceless expressions and postures displayed by my colleagues while they are concentrated in their pottery. So, i hope you will find them just as priceless. =)

Looking Well =)
It was May's first born full month celebration on Sat. Was invited along with some of our poly mates over. Always glad to have these gatherings, no matter how brief it maybe. It's really nice to see these good old frens i have every now and then.
She and her baby gal looked very well. May, wish you and your baby gal all the blessings and joy. =) Hua and Vinc looked a bit tired, otherwise pretty well. Guess it's probably cos their little darling was sick. Hope she recover strong and well. Ping and Jeff was there too, without fail, their two little darlings were with them and looking pretty rosy too. Of course, there was Khim (the bubbly one), who always made time to turn up. All in all, everyone's looking well. Stay well and see ya on the next gathering. =)

Xanth - Pure Fantasy
Bought the first nine Xanth novels in early march and i completed them today! and now waiting for san bookstore to call me up to pick up the tenth when its ready.
The first book, A Spell for Chameleon was published in 1977 and it won the August Derleth Fantasy Award for best novel of year. Just when we think that we know how far imagination and fantasy can go... Piers Anthony brought it to another level with his totally wild imagination. Simply beyond my wildest dreams and that's what makes it so satisfying to read his novels.
A world where love springs exist to cause whom ever to drink it to immediately fall in love with first opposite sex creature he or she met.. (that's how your crossbreeds such as griffins and centaurs came about). A world where storks do the actual delivery of babies (ladies get pregnant as part of the signal package for summoning the stork), black mares known as night mares that travel during the night to deliver bad dreams. Nickelpedes and dollarpedes exist instead of just centipedes. Place where monsters under the bed do exist to grab ankles till the children grow up and no longer believe in them. And so much more, simply a world beyond anyone's imagination but Piers Anthony.. so much fun to read. =)
Haha, cant wait to get my hands on that tenth book...

Good Fri, Wet Sat...
It was Good Friday last week and made a little trip down to Asian Civilisations Museum with Yuan (my good old fren from AMKSS). Must really thank her if not i would not have known such a little treasure existed in our little home island. =)
It was my very first visit to the Asian Civilisation Museum and i was quite impressed. It must be and easily one of the best around the region. Showcasing a large number of artifacts ranging from nearly two thousand years ago to some more of the recent ones in the last century, it provides the visitor a very visual aspect of asian lives and culture in the past.
Btw, photography is allowed if no flash is used so visitors may take some memories home (i didn't realise it till the later part of my tour, so a little lacking in the quantities of the photos but do enjoy them). =)
The first 7 photos are from the special exhibit Mystery Men from China while the last 4 are part of the standard showcase.

As for Sat, it was a day with Mark and Tracy out to the Jurong BirdPark and guess what.... a thunderstorm popped out from nowhere halfway through the visit. Same thing happened when we were at the Zoo with Eve and Sentosa with Hao last year April and May.... Guess we are the rainy people... in anycase, i did manage to get some pics. =) Will post them up next month cos i have already hit my quota for free uploads to flickr this month.

Photos from Taiwan Trip
Sorry that i have taken so long but here's my photos taken during the trip in Oct last year. I had some problems in uploading the photos to my Friendster Blog and apparently no support is given as the blog service is provided by a third party. If i wanted technical support, i will have to upgrade and start paying monthly subscription fees.
In any case, here are the photos and i hope you will find them to your liking. =)
