I love swimming and it’s so unfortunate that I didn’t get to swim often. So seeing a swimming pool at Kapuluan Vista Resort, I wouldn’t have missed this good opportunity to swim! Hee!

So the next morning, I woke up early as my mind already set on jumping in the pool the moment the pool is open at 7.30pm.

I woke up, went down the stairs and found out that Jess wasn’t on the bed. I went to the toilet to relief myself and overheard soft voices coming from outside. Then I opened the door and found Jess and Daniel both looked at me, greeted me morning. Lol. I asked her why was she up so early and she showed me her DSLR and mentioned about sunrise shoot. Only then I remembered about her asking me last night if I wanted to go take sunrise shots which I declined.

Smiling meekly, I closed the door and went back to the room. Gently, I nudged May and asked if she wanted to swim.

Surprisingly she said YES!

Boy, were I happy when I heard that. I quickly changed to my swimsuit, went out with May and slowly went into the pool. Surprisingly the water wasn’t cold. We were the only people using the pool. From afar, I could see Jess and Daniel deeply in conversation and didn’t want to join us despite my endless calling from the pool. Hehe!

Halfway swimming, I went into the guy’s room to persuade Sat into swimming in the pool. But he wouldn’t budge at all. I gave up and went out. Few minutes later, he came out with a cute sleepy look while rubbing his eyes innocently. <3

Seeing this, I can’t help but to give him a hearty hug; but since my body still hasn’t dry from the swimming I had earlier, I patted him instead. Hehe!

The bathroom in our room was used that time, so I sat outside drying myself while waiting for my turn.

The water pressure in the bathroom is so small! It took forever to wash my hair – from wetting it to washing the shampoo away; half an hour would have passed by the time I finished washing my hair. -.-“

Nevertheless, I washed my hair and showered in the simplest and fastest way ever and quickly came out. I pre-packed a little before going out for breakfast.

My breakfast was the simple American breakfast which I had ordered after last night’s dinner.

Someone ordered cocoa powder, and it was the DIY type. Hebats!

Someone decided to join us for breakfast. Hehe!

After breakfast we went back to the room to get ready for a little expedition to the nearby waterfall.

Initially thought of wearing my swimsuit in it but it was still wet from the morning swim. Thought of wearing my bikini top but don’t felt ease of revealing my flesh yet. LOL!

I’m a bit of conservative la.

Saw two cute shih tzus paying with each other. Very cute! But they look like a piece of rug here in the picture. Lol!

At 9 in the morning, all of us got into a van booked by the resort and headed to Kabigan Waterfall located about 20-25 minutes from our resort. Something I don’t understand about Pagudpud’s sky is the blueness of the sky! It was so sunny yet the sky was so blue! How can it so? If Penang’s sunny, the sky would be light blue, not blue blue.

Our van driver took a left turning and pulled a stop just before the road gate and told Sat that we’ve arrived. There are wooden hut at the side of the road gate, and few ladies came out of the hut after seeing our van.

We got down and Hannah started speaking to the ladies. A bit of Tagalog here and there, then Hannah then looked at us and told we have to pay 30 pesos (RM2.19) for the entrance fee and tips to the ladies here.

So we took out 30 pesos and passed them to Hannah. After settling that, 3 lady guides armed with umbrellas appeared from the hut, signaling it was time to walk. One of them led the way, while the other two along our sides.

We walked through the vegetation farm and lush greenery. Off and on we got to dip our feet onto the cold water as we need to cross the ankle deep stream to get to our destination. The trail is easy to walk (unlike the hike to Mount Batur in Bali @_@) and doesn’t require much physical strength, thus making our journey more relaxing.

Halfway walking, I heard someone mentioned about not dirtying the stream because it was the water source for the villagers below there. The water coming from the waterfall and flowing down the stream to the river is the villagers’ drinking water, cooking water, washing water, bathing water and so on.

I was like WTFISH upon hearing that. I told Sat that they should bring a small bridge across the stream then or stop people from visiting this place, as people would definitely take a dip at the waterfall.

Finally, after nearly an hour of walk, we reached our destination. The remarks on the villagers using the waterfall water to drink were all forgotten the moment we saw the bluish green water. The waterfall looks serene, and it was very cooling there. David, Aaron, Daniel and Hannah quickly jumped into the water after dropping their stuffs.

Sat asked me to go down together with him but when I told him that I didn’t wear my swimming suit, he was sort of angry at me because he wants to swim with me. I told him that my swimming suit was still wet from morning swim.

Since I didn’t bring any towel or swimming suit to the waterfall area, I just dip my leg onto the cool water, and took pictures of the rest.

We spent about an hour there, before leaving with few group photos. Then we walked back, making sure that we didn’t leave anything behind.

The walk back to our van is faster and smoother than the walk to the waterfall. It was freaking hot too, and I regretted not bringing my swimming suit for a cooling swim at the waterfall.

It was so hot that we were super ecstatic when we saw a coconut stall at the exit. Priced at 15 pesos (RM1.10) per cup, the lady had to get help from her friends in opening few more coconuts as each and every one of us bought one. Some even bought two cups to quench thirst! Haha!

After the refreshing drink, we got into our van and were ferried back to our resort. But we requested to get down at this beautiful place. I’ll talk about more on this place in my next post.

Notice the one I took while driving back home, on the right side you can see the downpour and if zoom a little bit nearer, you can see a small ‘tornado’ jutting out of the cloud.

Quite scary scene to see if you asked me. Lol.

However, the rainbow shot is totally lovely. I love rainbow, it always makes me smile.

Cut all the crap, let me show you the dimsum from Foh San!

The siumai looked pale compared to the one I had in Yoke Fook Moon and Chaw Choon (the famous dimsum restaurant in Butterworth) but tastewise it’s almost the same. Same ingredient mah. Lol.

Mmm~ Delicious but somehow it’s a little bit salty for me. The dimsum I’m going to show you next are the more creative ones. The fried pancake with black pepper sauce and beehive lou mai kai (sticky glutinous rice with chicken wrapped with pao skin).

The 3 sauce chee-cheong fun is yummylicious! But one can’t eat this too much, or else will feel jelak. Go in big group where you can taste many types of dimsum in small serving. That way, the dimsum taste will be memorable and one somehow craved for it. Like how I crave for the honeydew glazed popiah. Lol

It was super packed that day. We had to wait more than 30 minutes for a table because everyone was taking their own sweet time drinking tea even after finishing all the dimsum. The worst thing is, the table we waited for more than 30 minutes almost being ‘snatched’ by an aunty who only waited like 5 minutes there. Realising that the people at the next table ate quicker, that aunty suddenly moved to the back, turned her body and waited for that table instead. And the funny thing was, she suddenly talked to the people at that table and then sat on the empty chair like she knows them for ages. And that’s how she got a table for her family.

My sister and I were like wtfish!? New method of getting a place? Lol!

I took the picture after nom-noming halfway. Even at 11 something in the morning, people would still coming in. It made me wonder if they’re there for breakfast or brunch or lunch?

I especially love the dessert above. Cold, honeydew sauce glazed over popiah skin with chicken floss and cucumber filling. Mm~ I have the urge of having that again. T_T

Besides the sweet honeydew popiah savoury, we have two other desserts. Milk custard and fruit jelly.

By the time we finished up the jelly, everyone waved white flag and decided not to noms anymore. But since I’ve made a long list of must-eat, I told them no matter what, the food-hunt must ‘go’ on. Lol. Reluctantly they agreed and off we went to the next destination that I’ll feature in the next post.

Ahhh.. How I wish I’m still in KL, where I could with bunch of friends to Sri Petaling for dimsum eventho the dimsum there is nothing compare to the one I had in Ipoh few weeks ago. Haha!

The Ipoh Makan trip was a spontaneous one. It sparked off when my sis requested for dimsum that weekend. Since I got bored of the dimsum restaurant in the neighbourhood, I thought – why not go to Ipoh for dimsum?

And we did! We went to two places somemore! The first one is Yoke Fook Moon Restaurant.

We went in and soon plates and plates of dimsum were placed in front of us.

The dish below I would usually take at dimsum restaurant. However the skin is different from the one I ate in Penang, but it’s still taste the same. XD

This pastry I never tried before and I would have like them if they’re less salty. Don’t know why the stuffs in Ipoh are a bit salty. Hmm.

Our tea. A bit disappointed for not able to have our favourite tea, “Siao yek kan” (Small dry leaves). Next time must remember to bring own tea leaves d.

We didn’t eat much in Yoke Fook Moon as we were saving our tummies for other restaurant. But we drank a lot of tea as we mistakenly ordered tea for 5 people! =.=”

Gosh. Seeing all the pictures make me hungry now. Bad idea on writing about this at this hour. T_T

Time to make a cup of Milo before crawling to bed.

Just came back from 1 day trip to Ipoh for makan-makan session! We ‘flew’ from one place to the others. Some are good, some are erm.. disappointing. Some are closed, but already made up our minds to visit them next time.

We even visited the caves, giving our tummies some time to digest them before starting eating again. Lol

I’ll specifically cover them one by one soon! Right now I need to shower, finish up my Indon posts and pre-pack for my coming trip!

See you!

My wish was granted – not being a bird, but having the ability of looking things from a ‘bird view’; many thanks to the 2nd Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Festival.

You see, looking down from the plane window isn’t counted since sometimes you can see the ground, sometimes you can’t because of the clouds!

Haha. So the day earlier, I purposely boarded the night bus all the way to Kuala Lumpur after work and bunked at my sis’s place for that weekend. The next morning, Sat picked me up and went all the way to Putrajaya for this festival. Upon entering the prominent bridge of Putrajaya, I could see the big balloons like “Levi’s”, “Darth Vader” and so on which got me very excited on it.

Then I told Sat, I wanna take picture with Dark Vader’s head! which he gave me the usual, “luannnnn.“

We spent almost an hour stuck in the jam in the car park area. The cars weren’t moving, people were honking and I seriously don’t understand why there’s only ONE entrance for going IN and OUT of the car park area? Can’t they foresee that MANY people would throng the area that weekend?

Obviously I was upset with the jam (I was pretty much calm earlier, but got fed up soon) is because the moment we parked our car, ALL THE NICE LOOKING BALLOONS WERE NO LONGER UP IN THE SKY! I was soooo disappointed as the main reason I insisted on coming to the Hot Air Balloon Fest is to take picture of those cute looking balloons. RWAR!

What’s down were already down. So we headed to the balloon ride area.

I almost fainted upon seeing the amount of people there. But the first thing in my mind was to know where were the rest queuing and how far were they from the entrance. Sat called them and found out that they were at considerably ‘okay’ distance. So, I thought – oh well, this couldn’t take that long I supposed.

Feeling anticipated and excited, I observed the balloons going up… and down… and up again; looking at how long the ride would last.

Halfway watching the balloons, something caught my attention and I found myself looking at two para-gliders. It looks so fun that I told Sat, let’s try this! and he gave me a funny look before saying, “serious?”

I looked up at the para-gliders and then looked at myself. “Maybe next time,” I told him since I was not dressed for sports. Haha!

Soon, I got bored of looking at the hot air balloons and the para-gliders and shifted my attention to something else : CUTE BALLOONS! Once the kids saw a balloon vendor, surely they would cry for one and parents would have no choice but to oblige. Haha.

I was tempted too, and asked Sat for one. He said if I really want it then he would buy one for me. I knew he would as he bought me a Spongebob balloon before at Lake Titiwangsa and I was like a kid, happily holding the Spongey. Haha. But since we’re going to board the hot air balloon, I thought holding a Spongey isn’t that feasible here, so I told him “next time.“

One thing good about going to an outing with one bunch of crazy friends is you won’t get bored waiting for your ride. You would be talking and laughing and talking non-stop until it was your turn to board. However this time it didn’t happen as the queue never seem to MOVEEEEE!

Everyone of us got frustrated as it was freaking hot and we were sweating like mad. Moreover all of us didn’t take breakfast yet, and our tummies were grumbling! Some couldn’t bear to wait anymore and left the place. We thought of leaving too, but I was thinking if I couldn’t get to take pictures of the cute balloons and now we were leaving this place because of the long queue, then why on earth I came to KL for?

Secretly, I prayed that the queue could miraculously get shorter. And it did! Because they shortened the time up in the air. -.-”

Since then, the queue got shorter and shorter and soon it was our turn. Both Aaron and I were eyeing on the Zeppelin and we were quite ‘crushed’ to see the Zeppelin being brought down due to the stronger wind.

When it was the time to board, I was glad that I wore pants as I thought of wearing dress there. Imagine wearing dress and have to lift up your dress to climb into the super-high-and-hard-to-get-in basket. Once both of us were in, the guy behind suddenly lighted up the burners and I swear the heat was so intense that I felt it ‘burnt’ some part of my hair!

I could only squat in the basket because of the heat and hope he would stop firing the burner that long so that I could enjoy my ride. But he can’t, since the wind was getting stronger and he needed to produce more hot air to lift the basket up. Moreover the weights of three of us combined weren’t little.

So, I stayed hidden in the basket, lowered my head as much as possible until he stopped firing the burner. Then only I barely stood up and enjoyed the view.

The funny thing about me is I’m very alert on things that might harm me. In this matter, I was standing in front of the gas canister and I fear that the heat might be too much that the canister would burst and all three of us have to jump down to save our life. Haha. I know, I think way too much and got influenced by those dramatic movies.

Just barely 5 minutes up in the air, the guy already brought down our balloon. Of course, I was disappointed, but what to do. Blame it on the wind then as the guy said the hot air balloon couldn’t stay stable on air for long. Boohoo!

Then it was Aaron’s and Munn’s turn to board. Their ride looked so easy and fun and enjoyable compared to our. Haha.

Ahhh… I think I must go there again even though it’s such a boring event especially when there are no nicer balloons to photograph. Must go there earlier next year! Hmph!

]]> http://phingelicious.com/2010/05/im-like-a-bird/feed/ 4 http://phingelicious.com/2010/05/hock-teik-cheng-sin-temple-armenian-street-penang/ http://phingelicious.com/2010/05/hock-teik-cheng-sin-temple-armenian-street-penang/#comments Sat, 15 May 2010 15:44:37 +0000 angeline http://phingelicious.com/?p=1593 One of the night during Chinese New Year, my family and I happened to drop by a temple in Armenian Street. I rarely go praying around in island, so I don’t really know much about the temples there unless it’s the super famous and prominent ones – like Kek Lok Si and Kuan Yin Teng. But somehow fate brought us there that night.

Apparently Hock Teik Cheng Sin Temple is famous in giving ‘numbers’!

While dad prayed to the deities in the temples, I took the opportunity to take pictures of the surrounding using my Olympus miu! No, I didn’t bring my DSLR out that day. Lol.

I find the ‘axe’ super cute. Couldn’t stop taking picture of it. Hehe.

While taking pictures around, I overheard a man speaking quite loud in Cantonese to the lady who was kneeling in front of the altar; asking her to ‘ask’ the deity with sincere heart so that she could get 4 numbers from the deity. After she prayed, she shook a container full of bamboo sticks with numbers until one came out of the container. Then she threw 2 red crescent shaped die asking if that’s the number for her.

But she got both sides open up.

Seeing this, the man told her again, to truly believe in the deity and prayed with all her hearts before shaking the container. She did what he said, shook the container again and threw the die. This time, she got both sides facing down.

Mum was standing behind them, watching all this. In fact, there were few people watching this too – all wondering what was her doing. Mum told me, “Maybe the ang kong doesn’t know how to speak English (as the ladies were English-speaking) that’s why can’t provide numbers for them.”

I replied, “The deity sure got hire translator one mah.”

“If got translator, she early early got her 4 numbers d loh.”

As much as I wanted to try my luck in winning the Jackpot (that time everyone was eager in winning the Jackpot) by getting numbers from the deity, but from the rate of her getting the 4 numbers and with her another friend also waiting for her turn – I had to put off my intention. Haih.

As I turned around from where I stood, I spotted this transparent plane covering a hole with coins in it.

A closer look revealed that the floor of the temple are elevated about half feet higher than the original tiles.

We then we went the stairs to the first level after asking the caretaker about it. We had to take off our shoes before going up.

The place is refurbished and the carvings on the doors and walls were painted with new coat of paint, making them look bright and new! As I walked around taking pictures, I noticed something different with the neighbours’ houses.

They have back doors on first level! I wondered why they have such designs – another escape in term of emergency? Hmm.

There’s nothing much to explore on the first level, therefore we went downstairs. The two girls took their own sweet time getting numbers from the deity, making me lost interest in earning my lucky numbers too as I didn’t have much time to spare. It was already late at night and everyone was tired from earlier day trip. So we left the place.

Maybe I should drop by there again. ^^

I went on the hmm.. Can’t remember which day d – the 5th day if not mistaken. It was a sunny afternoon and I was practically sweating nonstop.

There were many people there; all decided to drop by Kek Lok Si during CNY because of the yellow and red lanterns hung all over the temple. Very nicely decorated. Hehe.

This was also when B decided to try tactics he read before long long time ago. He just never got the chance to try it (as he only wants me to be his guinea pig, huuhuu) so that’s part of the visit purposes. Haha.

I brought my DSLR along too; tho my main purpose to there was to pray. CNY must go temple pray pray for more ong-ness mah. ^^

Halfway walking, I felt a bit regretted for choosing to walk up to the Guan Yin Pavilion instead of driving up as the sun was scorching hot! and I think I got darker after that trip. -.-” The heat was killing us and my 500ml water bottle was definitely not enough!

We walked to the temple where many people would pray and spotted a wishing tree! No, it’s not a real tree but artificial ones where one can hung their wishes on the ‘tree’. I took one for me, and one for B – even tho I didn’t really know the exact meaning as it was written in Mandarin. But I know mine was for good career, and B’s for abundant luck! Hehe.

We wrote our names on the ribbons and then hung at the Wish Tree. I took a chair, stood up the chair and hung mine at one of the highest branches. Why? Because people say, “the higher you hung, the faster your wish will be granted” or something like that la. Haha.

Then we went up to the highest ‘station‘ where the Guan Yin Pavilion is. This is where the sun is the brutal-est and I got my tanning here!

We spent like 30 minutes taking photographs there with many, many people staring at us. Lol. Then we walked to the Guan Yin Pavilion, to pai pai.

I’ve been to the highest level soon after the construction of the Guan Yin statue was done, but that time there was no roof/shelter. The Pavilion was only built like few years earlier – as you can see, there are still construction works going on at the side.

Seeing everyone giving alms around the Guan Yin statue, we decided to do so too. RM11 for 118 1-cent-coins.

Like usual, one must go around the statue clockwise. Sat gave half, I gave half.

On the night of 8th day of CNY, my family decided to go Kek Lok Si too after being influenced by our neighbours. So off we went together in 2 cars to the island at about 9pm.

I’ve never seen and been to Kek Lok Si at night before, so I was definitely at awed on seeing the building from afar.

We went all the way straight to the Guan Yin Pavilion. The place was pack with people! I even spotted my cousin bro with his gf there. Hehe.

I couldn’t stop looking at the statue. She looks different from the earlier day’s visit. She looks majestic!

and gold! I mean very golden in colour.

Not long after we went there, we were told to leave the place as they’re about to close for the day. So, I quickly took few more pictures and then walked back to the car with my family.

That’s all for my CNY’s Kek Lok Si trip. This post is more on the pictures than words. Having blockage in writing yet feel like posting something here. Haha! Have a good night sleep everyone.

Behold, this post contains non-halal! Lol!

Taiping trip is being close to nature – hence, a visit at this Indian temple,  Om Sakthi Sri Jada Muneesvarar Alayam.

Well the main reason why we visit this temple is to see and touch wild boars!

Touching a wild boar might be disgusting to you, but believe me there’s a VERY BIG REASON why people are touching and feeding them.

Plus, have you seen wild boars eating nasi lemak? @.@

There the wild boars are known as ‘lucky boars’. It’s said that by touching the boars with hand, one might strike lottery! That’s why people as far as Singapore come all the way to this temple to touch it.

While the boars are busy munching on their nasi lemak, I took the opportunity to touch one of the wild boar. Their skin is seriously HARD! I think normal pig’s skin also nicer. Haha!

Here’s the famous 3-legged wild boar. The caretaker told us that this boar and another two ‘friends’ of his are the luckier boars.

Seeing the 3 legged wild boar fulled of mud, I was reluctant to touch initially. But out of curiosity, I did. I was dying to know what’s the difference between touching a mud-less wild boar and a muddy wild boar.

Difference are :

1. The fur is THICKER.

2. The wet feeling is there.

As the sky grew darker, the number of wild boars increased. Probably the dark sky means ‘dinner time’ to them. Lol.

We left not long after that since the tummy was growling. Took dinner at one of the food court in Taiping and off we went to the Taiping Night Safari. Entrance fee is RM16 for adult and RM10 for children under 12.

The moment we walked in there was a guy asking if we wanna take the tram or walk on our own. Since it was ages since we were to the Taiping Night Safari, we decided to take the tram first to know generally what animals they have there and then walk on our own.

Little that we know that we would end up sitting on the tram for 3 times! -.-”

The Taiping Night Safari is smaller if you wanna compare to the one in Singapore. Hey, smaller doesn’t mean it’s bad. Going to night safari and see all the nocturnal coming out at night is really amazing. But…

There’s a BIG BUT here.

I wished the night safari is more lighted especially on the pathway. I understand that night safari should be have as minimal light as possible but at least put led/low light lamps on the pathway to guide people on walking. Some trails are so dark that if a snake or tiger were to lurk there, we might end up being their supper even though some of the ‘no-light-trail’ is barely 100m long. Who knows right?

After getting down from the tram (for the first time), my parents decided to forgo the plan of walking around the night safari. Plus we weren’t given map on the area – we might end up being lost in the safari! Lol!

Aih, my hope of snapping the ‘wild’ animals dashed totally.

We saw many people walked straight to the exit after getting down from the tram. I was thinking – paying RM16 for a 15-20 minutes ride around the safari isn’t worth it at all. Plus it’s hard to scan and see the animals in dark. So I suggested, “why not another round of tram ride?”

Everyone agreed and we queued for 2nd round. The queue wasn’t that long as compared to the first one where we had to wait for good ol’ 30 minutes for the ride. -.-”

10 minutes later, we gotten ourselves on tram for 2nd time and this time we looked at the animals that we couldn’t spot in the first ride. The 2nd tram driver is good as he stopped longer to let us find the animal that he mentioned. Unlike the first driver where he did ‘touch-n-go‘ at each section. Tsk tsk.

We enjoyed our 2nd ride and when we got off the exit point again, we went to queue for the 3rd time – just for the sake of making our ticket worthy. Haha!

So for the 3rd time, we just enjoying the breeze and serenity of the animal kingdom. It was getting late and the sound of crickets getting louder.

And at this round, I spotted a malnourished camel. It is so skinny that I could the ribs on its body. Instead of the normal standing posture that camel has, this camel’s 4 legs caved in, like alphabet V. And it was crying. Or ‘talking’ in its language – that I don’t know. Haha.

We started to feel tired and weary after the 3rd round. So, we headed home. It was definitely interesting as we get to see places rather than stuck at home. Haha!

- Did I mention that I roared at the sleeping lion, just to wake the lion up? And the lion ignored me. T.T -

About 20 minutes later, we reached the town of Taiping. Pre-war buildings (built by the British) can still be seen in the town area. Like the one below, it’s well taken care of and turned into Taiping Tourist Information Centre.

Went straight to Taiping Lake since it was already 4 something in the afternoon. Decided to have a walk around the big ex-mining pool.

There are people fishing at the lake though there are BIG SIGNS saying “NO FISHING” at the entrance of each lake. I guess people would never obey rules.

The plastic bag containing the fishes above were fished from the pond. Were surprised of the amount of fishes in the bag. Wondering what time they started fishing? Lol!

Lots of lovebirds took this swan ride. There’s also boat ride, but I guess swan ride is more romantic.

Halfway walking, I felt so overdressed – as most people are here for jogging! Even saw an auntie running past us – which made me and my mum exchanged glance of respect. Lol!

Walk and walk and suddenly I spotted something big hanging high on the tree. I called my dad! All looked up and mouthed, “BEE PANG SIEW!” (Bee hives!)

Then we continued came to this view. Very nice and relaxing. Even the ‘wai laus‘ kn0w this spot as lots of them sat there candying their eyes. If a young lady jogged past by, their eyes will follow her until she’s no longer in their sight. Lol! (which greatly reminds of me the article I read in STOMP! yesterday about this whole bunch of foreigners flocking the beach in Singapore to snap pictures of girls in swimwear! Ewww)

From the beautiful spot, we took a detour route to another beautiful place. My dad used to snap me and my sister here when visited this place long long time ago. I can still remember, me and my sis in identical yellow dress – posing like nobody’s business here.

Colourful flora found in the garden.

Wax stain on the pathway-  shaping a heart! ♥

Ice-cream treat after walking 3 quarter around of the lake! Nom nom nom~*

Favourite picture taken there – white flower with 2 swans bokehness! Sweet!

After spending like about an hour there, we left the place for oink oink! That – I’ll cover in the next post.
