Anything is possible with diffusion. Being MIA for so long we just wanna remind you that the 3 of us are anxiously awaiting our maple leaves and maple syrup. Let's have a picnic with stacks of pancakes, jugs of maple syrup, bales of laughter and splendid company!! <3 <3 <3 Tata~ we'll be missing you <3 <3 You know you love us. 1 Comments xmas in sg

After the horrors of know our results (horror for me at least) Madame and I decided to head out to somerset to explore the new shopping mall. Yes. There's a new addition, making it the 3rd new shopping mall on the orchard strip. The decadent and very tiring day started off with a meal from Pasta mania.  Apple crumble pizza. Not exactly a pizza more of apple and crumbles on crust. But nonetheless quite a nice dessert. I believe that was the reason that we had lunch there. Madame and her bacon aglio. There was a lot of bacon, which was just as well, my mushroom chicken pizza was kind of tasteless. After lunch we proceeded to Somerset 313 which houses 4 levels of Forever 21 and a good mix of other apparel shops. I didn't get anything though. Still thinking of whether to get the pair of fierce heels. (Which most prob will not see the light of day... if I get it). For the 2 PFs who are unfortunately not in Sg to share the joy of Christmas with me and madame here are some snapshots of the festive decorations at Orchard.  Reindeer with hair.  There were hot pink bows all over Ngee Ann city!! Here's a close up. Omg I dunno what's happened to me but I kinda love the bows.  Wreaths made of teddy bears at the Chanel window display  And there was alien looking blue and orange baubles hanging on the trees! I love the blue ones!!!  This is my personal favourite. X'mas trees hanging at wheelock place. I think they look like angels XD Headed to Bugis for dinner where the waiter totally pissed me off. Whoever answers with " They are obviously different." When you ask them what is the difference between 2 things? No help at all.  ~*YN*~ Labels: YN 1 Comments phones

My contract ends in January and I need to recontract, get a new phone and be happy with it. Bleh. I had more or less decided on Nokia E63, then Singtel has to pull this stupid crap for me. The phone prices changes like every 4 days. Hai how now? My no.2 and no.3 choice has also inflated... Suggestions anyone??? ~*YN*~ Labels: YN 0 Comments After weeks of waiting it's finally here!!!!  The one on top is mine the yellowed one's my mom's notice the pass date. 30 yrs difference, my mom's 30 yrs older than me too!Freaky right? ~*YN*~ Labels: YN 1 Comments Pitchers
Wednesday, November 11, 2009
I think yesterday was the first time I saw a pitcher plant. Apparently they are considered rare in Singapore.... Since it's the first time I've seen them, I guess they are. Only 3 species can be found in Singapore (if I'm not wrong...) So, for my biweekly ultra vigorous work out regime a.k.a ecology field trip, we went to Kent Ridge park!  But first we had to climb this flight of steps from hell. I think the people who designed this should be made to climb it.  Nepenthes gracilis slender pitcher plant Lowers pitcher They are so named because of the shape. The above are the lower pitchers (lower meaning they are found on or near ground level) of the slender pitcher plant. Notice the colour... I think the colour differ from the intermediate pitchers to avoid predatory.  Nepenthes gracilis slender pitcher plant Upper pitcher The slender pitcher plant is the most common pitcher plant. We did our "project" on this and turns out that the peristome (the opening) is mostly less than 2cm. We nearly died trying to find bigger ones, kena cheated by TA who said that large ones are easier to find >.<  Nepenthes rafflesiana Raffles’ pitcher plant Intermediate pitcher Just like any other big organisms found in Singapore, these pitchers are named Raffles-something (think rafflesia).  Nepenthes rafflesiana Raffles’ pitcher plant Lower pitcher Just like the slender pitchers, the intermediate and lower pitcher have some morphological differences. Notice that there are extra flaps called keels running down the side.  Nepenthes ampullaria narrow lidded pitcher plant These are the least common pitchers found in Singapore. We only saw one patch of it along the whole trail. The cluster together, there are 3 clusters in the picture above. As the clusters go higher up the more dried pitchers were observed in the cluster.  Nepenthes ampullaria narrow lidded pitcher plant I personally think that they look like the jug things that they use to heat up sauces. Notice the narrow lids sticking out from the peristomes. Now that we have seen the different kinds of pitchers, let's look inside!  As you probably know, pitcher plants are carnivorous plant climbers. Though they are decidedly less exciting to watch than venus fly traps when capturing their prey, I'd have to say that they are definitely receiving their fair share of food. We poured out the fluid from the pitchers and here's what we got...  Full of ant parts. The one I poured out had mosquito larvae and some white wriggling worms in it. Apparently mosquitoes lay their eggs in them and for some reason the larvae can survive... and there's the wriggling white worm that were obviously alive, perhaps wriggling in agony.  Here's another one, but don't worry, no pitchers were harmed (I hope). We poured the fluid and the various insect parts back afterward.So now all that's left is the report that I have to write. >.< yn Labels: YN 3 Comments railroad

My ecology module have been taking me to places that I've never been to. Today, its to the middle of a railway track! Oh! And walking through weeds that are 1m tall. I sweat was dripping off my back even before the practical started.  So we were supposed to go down into the stream to collect samples, chuck then under microscopes and pick out the macroscopic animals. But.... being spoilt urban brats, of course we were facinated by the rusty railway track XD  Too bad I can't cam whore in private so I took a photo of the group.... And a picture of my foot.  I thought this was a much better picture... Panda on rocks!  Tube filled with worms. Though they just appear as thread like stuff at the bottom... there are ard 40 of them inside!  All that blood lost to mosquitoes and grass cuts on my legs just for these little critters>.< My legs really hurt. Labels: YN 2 Comments Finally had a sort of mental health day. Well, it was definitely eye candy day... Went with madame to watch 500 DAYS OF SUMMER~  MATTHEW GREY GUBLER a.k.a Dr SPENCER REID Wohoo~ though he didn't appear in nearly enough scenes. But there was Joseph Gordon Levitt to entertain me with this geeky charm XD (Madame... not so much) Quite a nice movie... Liked how it was filmed and I foresee myself quoting a lot from it. I mean who can resist lines like "She's better than my dream girl... Cos... she's real." Wah~ Then went to pour my money back into the economic cycle (I forgot wat its called), spending money earning from giving tuition on tuition kid's store. Gah... having rested yesterday, I'd have to start studying now. ~*YN*~ Labels: YN 3 Comments Good news everybody! I pass my driving test!!! 14 pts woohoo~  ~*YN*~ Labels: YN 5 Comments Oh whee~ Finally blogger got back to normal for me! Have been quite busy these few weeks attending lects, tuts, doing projects, writing reports, teaching tuition, learning driving, etc, etc. Even recess week flew by... No picnic this time round to cheer me up >.< But... I think Aud would be pleased to know that I cycled from ECP to raffles place for night cycling!  Ok. I kinda enjoyed cycling at night more. Let's do it when u get back, Aud! More recently I extracted microbes from chicken rice from the science canteen! Can't wait to see what we have been ingesting XD  Dilutions of chicken rice essence Ok then that's all for now. Hope that I'd be sharing good news the next time! ~*YN*~ Labels: YN 0 Comments Happy 21st Harriet!

Yeah I know its grainy and dark but I'm using my bro's laptop >.< Labels: YN 2 Comments Hey hey pfs overseas! We have the foam hairdye in singapore now!!!! $19.90 per bottle! I want!!! Labels: YN 1 Comments I have no idea about what's wrong with blogger. 1 month ago, I can't post pictures now I can't even blog properly... Is it me or is everyone else experiencing this? I think school has made me quite stressed out after a mere 3 weeks. I'm totally hoping that this is due to a bad case of back to school rustiness. Harry and Aud, you guys are so lucky to be overseas. The weather is sh*tty here. For 2 weeks I can step out of the house freshly showered and 5 mins later be covered in sweat and these few days it's threatening to rain all the time! Argh. I think I'm gonna fall sick soon :( ~*YN*~ Labels: YN 1 Comments PFs on 3 continents

Yes, as we all know Aud will be heading off to Canada soon.
To make sure that each of us have a little something to bring around with us I've prepared a mystery gift XD Look forward to Wednesday to receive it! (Harry would have to wait for sometime though...) ~*YN*~ Labels: YN 2 Comments Nostalgic games
Tuesday, August 4, 2009
I just found out that there are games on vista, you just have to activate it. OMG. Nothing is supposed to make princesses feel stupid. But I certainly do now. I've been playing solitaire on some dubious website whenever I don't feel like studying for 2 years now and had to put up with the slowness of it all. So the games package includes: Chess titans: Normal chess. 3 levels. Freecell: Normal freecell. 8 rows containing 1 deck of cards facing up with 4 "parking" spaces. The objective is similar to solitaire but the "parking" spaces can be used to temporarily store the cards. Hearts : I'm kind of addicted. Its something like bridge but with no partner and you don't want to get any hearts and the queen of spades. Inkball : The ball falls out and bounces against the walls and you can draw walls with the pen to help the ball get into their respective holes Mahjong titans: The ultimate stupid game. Its just using mahjong tiles and pairing them up. Total waste of perfectly good mahjong illustrations if you ask me. Minesweeper: Seriously old school but I've only just learnt to play it properly. Click on a unit and it shows a number representing the number of bombs in its immediate proximity. Avoid bombs. Purble place: I finally have something for my cousins to play when they come over!!!!! Its super kiddish. Memory game, deduction game and cake making game. Solitaire: Normal solitaire. Solitaire Spider: Crazy game dun try if you don't have time. ~*YN*~  Labels: YN 3 Comments Alright my royal princess friends, Yin Ning is here. I havn't been able to do much of anything these few days as baby has been sick and had to be nursed back to health. Seems like Harry is doing her best to start things off with a blast for us. Went to collect my new passport today. Somehow I think it looks fake....And they are charging the same price for a passport that lasts only half as long! Hopefully all this trouble ws worth it and I'd see stamps other than the ones from Malaysia. ~*YN*~ Labels: YN 3 Comments |
