Fun days

Yesterday we went to Far East Flora to "see" and buy flowers. Almost had to leave due to the sheer number of cars and lack of parking lots. Luck was on our side though.

Went to the "Cold Room" where the cut flowers are kept. It's really cold. I was almost overwhelmed by the kinds and flowers and leaves in there. If you don't know me yet, I love flowers very much, particularly wild flowers and roses. It's practically every flower's enthusiast dream. Next time, I'm going for flower arrangement course.

So many different kinds of exotic and pretty flowers. The prices were not too bad, as in quite high for my liking.

In the end, we bought bright yellow and red tulips with tiny white wild flowers for the decor. Tulips and roses are the only flowers that are more brightly coloured.

As such, many people were attached to tulips and bought them in bunches. Unfortunately, tulips don't last long. I envy those who bought lots of flowers. I wanted to buy a lot too.

Bought potted flowers and plants next. I think we bought narcissus, some unknown flowering bulbs, and 2 potted flowers.

At least, my bad mood for the day subsided because of this. I'll put pictures of the flower arrangement tomorrow.

Love it! I'm still fascinated by the way the tiny white flowers grow. I still gushed about how cute it is.

Today, went for Business Accounting 2 make-up lecture. Not many from my class turned up.

In the evening, went to Orchidville near Mandai. But, we didn't bought any flowers there.

I suggested going to Night Safari. Just on the outside though. I wanted to buy a wolf plush toy. Most unfortunately, there's a range of lions to cheetahs to tigers but NO wolves. Not even one! What is this!?

Between zoo and night safari, I thought that in Night Safari, I would have a better shot at luck.

Very disappointed. I bought a leopard keychain in the end. It was cute, but it's no wolf, that's for sure. Oh well...

Had some drinks while enjoyed the free-show. Night Safari has changed a lot, but of course, it's been ages since I last went there. Singaporeans have to support made-in-Singapore products right?

Like my mother said, if she is a tourist, she would buy a glow-in-the-dark T-shirt in Night Safari.

PS: My friend helped me bought a silver wolf charm from ebay. Thanks very much! How to return her money remains to be seen. That's the furthest I can get from the wolf charm on Bella's bracelet.

If given a choice and a variety in front of me, I would buy at least 2. One as handphone charm and the other as a bracelet charm.
