we are going to the zoo zOo ZOO

opps.. Sorry people havent really been updating.. mr loh ( or is it lo or low =X) was asking me why i dont update my blog anymore.. .. .. So i better do so.

Realised too that i dont really post alot of photos of myself. you see, firstly, i dont know why but beijing air makes hair go flat. and hence i have bad hair day everyday and people who knows me well will know what is wrong with my ears. shrug* and secondly, i dont put on make up here and somehow i am getting whiter n whiter everyday and i forgot to bring my blusher............ so i wouldnt wanna scare people off with photos of some pale ghost.

come to think of it. its time for me to get pretty again (again?! =x) heehee.. tmr, tmr.

Hmms. since last sunday, geok and i have been to the pompei exhibition, some xuan wu men place and the ZOO...

Pompei exhibition:

seriously it was a big let-down. i expected more. i was intrigued by this place since i was in sec 1 when 1 day my sis came home and tell me that her teacher just showed them some town tt was buried under volcano ..err what u call that. volcano juice la huh (shrug) and what kinda position the people were in when they died and stuffs........ but the exbition just shows jewels and more and coins and chains and cups and plates and hairpin and spoon and fork.


only took a few photos because it wasnt allowed. all these were done before the security guy caught me. heehee






I do like the wall painting.. all these pieces were found on the excavated sites!!! still nicely preserved! woots

















And this is the exterior of the building.
Somehow i love this part of beijing. more tranquil and more peaceful with the old folks flying kites and children having evening walk with their grandparents. really lovely..






Xuan Wu men :

Didnt do much there. was there just to take photos for our journalism photography assignment. We found wal-mart. and i brought my brown bread and an oat cereal! so happy!!


we are supposed to just take random pictures of people on the road.
This auntie was selling some baby shoes. it was kinda cute.























And this uncle was just sitting there doing nothing. Quite cool huh the way he pose himself =) lols


















My brown bread and my cereal! hooray!!

















The cereal is actually tasteless. coz no added sugar. but i love tasteless stuff like the post grape-donnoe-what cereal that i used to have back in singapore.







BEIJING ZOO:

went to the zoo with Qiuling and geok on sat. i was so excited and even wore some giraffe dress to go tgt with the theme of that day. Alas, both of them didnt seem that excited.. so i myself excited la huh nvm. pout. and sorry peeps somehow i have very shaky hands so alot of my photos came out BLUR.. urghhh

the panda house was our first stop. quite cute although they were dirty brown. hee

panda waiting for food ( sorry for the blurblur-ness)

another one..

the oh-so-cute kid!!! if theres a children house i wont mind paying to visit. huggg

it was the tiger next.. its really huge.. i dont rem that tigers are this huge.. but they are kept in a smallllllll until cannot room. thats why u see the poor tiger looking darn bored.

Giraffe!!

i was wow-ed by the hippo. its larger than the tiger! like BAHH-ly big. the 2 girls missed the hippo out. they didnt wanna go in. >_<'' big me and small eleplant

zebra =)

the sleepy yellow snake

and its beautiful skin =)

-----------

By the way the zoo is not famous for its animal. its famous for the super cheapppp shopping areas ard it. and i swear by it. Qiuling brought us there and its easy to get lost. anyway, its a 批发市场, so they close at 530!! be sure to be early if u wanna catch the stalls. and if u wanna avoid the crowd. go at 5am. =)
Forgot to take photo.. hee but i am sure to bring doro there when she is here. will snap more photos thenn!! whheee~~~

hmmm went to church today. i enjoyed the service because its interesting- about sex (keke). oh yar! and the quite cute talented angmoh translator who is darn good in chinese and english and hebrew shook hand and said good morning to me...melts =X
