here we r at the world tallest man-made waterfall!! it's towering 100m high!! (actualli it looked kinda tiny.. mayb one of the smallest one i've seen....haha... and we came to this conclusion that it's the world tallest juz because not one else makes waterfall...)






i see birds.....







the 2 neighbouring hornbills are fightin... tearing a small hole in the barrier between the 2 enclosures... tough neighbours huh..

final stop, the birds of prey show.... it's a damn cool show!! the birds were all damn huge with wingspan of up to 2 metres!! too bad the camera is not able to to take photos impressive enough to show my point.... they're too fast anyway...

post-bdae post!

i wasn't expecting very much this yr for my birthday, like any other years.. was expecting to haf a dinner with yan.. and that's abt all... but she did mentioned abt "surprise".. but i din wanna haf my expectations set too high... they say the higher u get, the harder u'll fall... and in the workplace, i was expecting everything to go on as usual.. i din think ppl will do anything special....

was down at BRC (Bio Research Centre) doing exp in the morning and when i came up to my desk, i saw a paper bag and a cactus placed on my table... inside the paper bag was apparently a cake and a case of candy.. the candy had my company logo on it... so i became very puzzled... i've nv seen anyone having cake delivery for their bdae from the company b4 lehz...im THAT special mehz???

then there's a card attached to the cactus, tog with the delivery note, with the full company address and everything... *got more confused* so i took a look at the card content...

".... Lotsa love and XXXXXX, your Dearest Buddy"

that brought a smile onto my face... hehe... thanks dear!!
