Weekend Break - Breakfast & Bugs

took my first mental & physical break of the year till now (yay! exams over for this semester! :)) and went for a nice slow breakfast today and a long walk around botanic gardens.. forgot how much i enjoy the gardens.. one of the places i really love in Singapore... :)

here are some pics.... i'll post up more when i have time..

^ bugs @ the botanic gardens

and i washed my car too :).. i love washing my car instead of sending it to the car wash.. but often, i get so busy i don't get to wash it for a while... now i discover this site that tells me what to do with all the dust that accumulates after a while.. check out The Dust Art of Scott Wade

“Requiem

It came to me the other day:
Were I to die, no one would say,
“Oh, what a shame! So young, so full
Of promise — depths unplumbable!”

Instead, a shrug and tearless eyes
Will greet my overdue demise;
The wide response will be, I know,
“I thought he died a while ago.”

For life’s a shabby subterfuge,
And death is real, and dark, and huge.
The shock of it will register
Nowhere but where it will occur.”

- John Updike

And the birds came to roost in jurong...


my workplace is indeed a haven for pretty little birds.. and i guess it also speaks for how "ulu" (i.e. godforsakenly- out-of-the-way) the place is... haha.. pictures taken from behind glass panel, out of my 2nd floor office window ...

Bird id: Correct me if i am wrong: left is a Yellow vented Bulbul(Pycnonotus goiavier); right is an Olive-backed Sunbird (Nectarina jugularis) Oriental White-eye (Zosterops palpebrosus).. thank you jon! but mine doesn't look as yellow as the ones i find on the Internet nor have this patch of white under its wings... and also the beak of my bird looks a little longer and not as straight...umm.... bird id is so not easy!!
