Get rested!!!FloriadeNara Festival- Tamy's coming - Thursday
- A few birthday's to celebrate. - hehe. secret!
Wohoo!! what a busy day! Just what the doctor ordered.
12 pm - wake up. Lunch
2 pm - Went off to Floriade with Yoshi, Don, and Natalie. We walked there, reaching about umm 3. cos we got a bit lost on the way.
Floriade was so boring. I don't know anyone who would hang out there except family with children. I wouldn't go there again. Unless there was free food. which there wasn't.
<----- This was the first patch of flowers i saw when i went there. disappointed.
But some patches looked nice though. At least this year they had more than tulips. Click on the pics for a bigger version.
Hello, whats this? It's a garden gnome! One solitary gnome!
Heres some gnomes.
I think they're damn scary la. In malaysia you would call them hantu or something but here in aussie noooo its CUTE! Omgoodness imagine a whole horde of them invading your home.
Can you see the Phua Chu Kang gnome in picture? Hint* he's between Mickey gnome and apan gnome. Most countries sent a gnome for the festival. And. typical of Malaysia, they forgot to show up.
Me being a gnome:
Now. Being a typical guy, my camera was more interesting than the flowers. Time for a lesson! My camera has a hidden manual function which allows me to choose the focus point of my photos.
<---This is a near focus point.
...and a medium focus point. Note you can see the daisies just below the tulips clearly, but not the ones near us or the tulips themselves.
And this is a far focus point. Now the tulips are sharp.
Some other stuff i saw was : a stupid side show, spring duck chicks, and cute toddlers.
AND OMG I SAW STAN LEE!!!!!!!
To finish, here are the TOP #6 photos i took which are like, the best in all
# 6 # 5
#4 This proves that black is beautiful. Even in flowers.
# 3 This could have been first, but i didn't get the focus on the stamens properly.
# 2 This was a hard choice between # 1
# 1 I like how the other flowers frame the middle (example of middle focus). But goes to show that people are important to help you stand out and be your best. Even in the crowd, we have our individual beauty.
A special mention to Natalie Kang's photo too, which reminds us about racial harmony.
And now, on to the Nara festival!
