White Post Farm

You're gonna think that I was being ridiculous, because I brought my twenty-year-old friends to a petting farm that was designed for little kids. Hehe but they don't know that, so, shhhh! It took us an hour plus from my place to get there, and Bong was rather displeased that I got him up so early in the morning. My punishment was a grumpy faced Bong throughout the day when he's not sleeping (i.e. in the bus, bus stop, bench) :(

We were dropped off at two bus stops ahead, but the walk back to the farm was quite pleasant and I enjoyed that part of Nottingham that even I had not been there before until then. We got some feed for two-legged and four-legged friends (I'm not that interested in two-legged's 'cos they're really quite unresponsive, but Bong somewhat loves them). There was also the reptile house which I absolutely didn't like, but we spent almost an hour looking at snakes, iguanas, froggies (I know they're amphibians but maybe they're snake food..?)

Then.. we met Chir Wey's new best friend. Haha! This fella liked her a lot, and loved the thing she was holding in her hand even more.

While at the other end of the shed, the goats met their new enemy.. Bong.

He seriously annoyed the crap out of them, teasing them with the sight and smell of food and not giving any in the end! (He was kinda holding the feed for two-legged's, so I guess he was doing the right thing.. BUT STILL) 

We had a picnic for lunch.. and the minced meat spaghetti I cooked in the morning was so dry! HAHA. Sorry guys.. Didn't have time in the morn and couldn't make any sauce 'cos the pasta would get soggy and, well. Yucks. Messy. Luckily we got some ham and cheese and bread and juice and some good cider and ales, so we did alright in the end. The worst part of having to rush back that afternoon was missing the first bus and we had to wait for a whole hour for the next! So much for having to rush back.

Yay so that's one blogpost! Phew. I've been quite lazy and busy at the same time, things have been going on and I've had some not-very-nice days. Need to get going but need to do some thinking as well, whew! Till next time! 

Bzzz

It's been a crazy, crazy past few days. Following Bong's visit, Chir Wey arrived the day after. My initial plan was to bring them for horse riding but alas, all slots were booked. The weather wasn't looking too good either so I guess it was sort of a blessing in disguise. All we did that day was walk around the Uni Park Lakeside, cooked our dinner and chilled in the evening with crisps and a movie on my laptop. 

The next day, we went to the White Post Farm and visited some animal friends. I felt really bad that I had to rush all of us back to the city that afternoon because I had agreed to take some photos for NCN art students; it was a CSI scene set up so the photos looked rather morbid.. but I'll show some of the photos in a set later on.

Bong left for London that night to catch his flight home the next day. On a side note, my summer trip to Korea is confirmed! Pa bought the tickets and all that already, so yay!!! I've started paying for my holidays even when I'm with family, but I must say it's a good feeling to save up for something you really want.

In the morning, Chir Wey and I headed down South to Brighton and London respectively, where I stayed with Seow Wei for 2 nights before our short post-exams trip to Prague! 

Prague deserves a whole blog post altogether so here's just one pic to show you the awesome view from up on Petrin Hill! Aha, there's a story to that as well so stick by for a funny read. If you'd like to know more about Prague and our 4-days trip then check out Seow Wei's blog! She's an amazing informative blogger and a fashionista as well, so go go go check it out now!

We were supposed to head back on a night flight but I changed my schedule as I had a wedding to shoot the next day. Had a lovely time, although drenched in rain then dried again. My new pair of moccasins were totally destroyed in the puddles of rain, now looking as though they've been worn for years. Oh well, that's actually not too bad of a thing. Click on the photo below to check out a whole blogpost on Peter Pan's wedding! (Bride and groom have names of Wendy and Peter, how cool is that)

It's gonna be crazier in the next few days, I'm not sure if I can keep up with the blog but I hope I'll be fine! I've just got a last minute booking for a wedding in Birmingham this coming weekend and I've got little Toby's birthday to photograph the next day. In need to clear my laptop for more photo space before it decides to crash and kapoot on me one day. Oh the HORROR. Really don't wanna imagine that happening.

Going out with Jin Wun tomorrow to catch The Great Gatsby then chinese dinner at a restaurant afterwards! Woohoo! Hope everyone's had a great Father's Day. I'm so bummed that I'm missing my pa's birthday, then Father's Day, then mommy's birthday! GRAHH. Can't wait for July. 

Oh deer me!

My exams are finally over! Meaning that my summer has officially begun. Just a quick post for now, have got to go make breakfast for the sleepyhead Bong when he wakes up, and Chir Wey's arriving from Brighton at 2pm later. We planned to go for horse riding but Nottingham looks gloomy today, not exactly the right mood for giddy-yappies! Thank goodness it was all bright and sunny yesterday when we went to the deer park. One of my best ways to celebrate the end of exams is basking in the sun, and even more with this cool weather.
