Laman 2006 :: Malaysia's International Garden and Landscape Festival 2006, @ Perdana Lake Gardens

i was at the Malaysia's International Garden and Landscape Festival 2006 *clicky for more info* which was held at the Perdana Lake Gardens from 6 - 16th of July 2006. there was a huge turNup at the Gardens this afternoon, couldnt find a parking bay till 20mins later.

i came equipPed with my Canon s3 IS, ready to shoot any pretty bloom that will daintily tilt its head to beckon and flash me its vibrant smile :P i saw a spidey looking oRchid, its cream body in contrast to speckled purple markings on its thin arachnidic legs, i thought it looked pretty pretty :)

At the Floral Enclave

one of my fav entries, by a florist in KL : a thematic floral display/arrangement wit a very *Purplish Dream feeling in it

my fav++ floral/wedding arrangement (an ethereal garden setting of my dreams!)

and back out at the Lake Gardens, the pretty maze!

tendrils, spirals, curls! gardens wouldnt look any better w/out these

may in the wooden swing!

me * & sis back at the orchids booths, we just cant get enough of *em!

we got through just almost half of the entire park, and only to half of the exhibits. the heat is certainly getting to us, and the crowd coming by the troves in our opposite direction.

we certainly had a good time if not a great one, watching the flowers certainly lit my day :) so much more than i havent seen. will pay them a visit in Laman2007 hopefully, and this time i will come equipped wit sunblock too! :D :D

River View in Kuala Selangor

have been busy all week with preparations for the degree show thats launching off this coming friday evening at 4 - 30 pm. the layout's that's deemed to be completed some months back during the submissions needed to be tweaked again! ( i hate squeezing two sems work in one stupid A0!) college is so kiam siap!)

somehow found the mood to post up pix that me and my coursemates took during the seafood dinner at River View in Kuala Selangor :) the morning lagging connection failed me again, i couldnt accesss anything asides jobstreet, jobsdb and gmail! (and btw i have an interview tomolo at 11am!!! )

clowny wayne making an *expressionless expression* - hungry people are angry people

dee and i in the car - it was still bright when we left

discussing marriage plans over dinner (the groom wears the band on his head)

nging yew and the scissorshand ( has the height though!)

i am overcome-d by crabbyness

Kelvin, I, Yew and Dee

The Golden Couple

and Fabulous * kam heong* Crab ( the pinchers being my fav bit!!!! )

we all left at approx 11 after the super GROUP piccy and i reached home approx 12 30. dozed off after shower. with life like this, no wonder pot bellies exist!

*tongsHui = Suegar Water*

ginkgo, longan, sugared water in *tongshui* goodness!!!!! great for the incredulous drastic weather changes, rechaRGe!!

Octopus Tako Balls

i mentioned in an earlier post of tako balls and drIed bonito flakes about 3 weeks back, and here's how it looks like! (this is a pasarmalam vers. and taste better too!_)


delectable!

pic_1 and pic_2 look not very different from one another, submitted both for posts' sake..

RM3 ended in the comfortable pink linings of my tuMmy in less than 3 minutes , while taking the right angle certainly took me a longer time, so i decided to post it anyway:)

wanna go pasarmalam again next week!!!
