i go green and i like it

as a support to go green save the earth movements, i reconnected myself to the nature during recent weekend drop-ins.

although i don't do anything contributive to the ozone layer there, or for anything for that matter other than strolling leisurely down the paths, i figured by appreciating the beauty of the sceneries and then put them up for others to see, i could create awareness among us that these places could go extinct if we keep on destroying the earth by living in the dark sides.

ok i can't even go through all that without laughing.

the truth is, we're almost out of places to roam about in this tiny island. every week it was like, ok where should we go this time? it became a chore lately so we ended up on these nature reserves. they were perfect for cooling down the fast city pace, although literally we were instead burnt by the hot striking sun on these exposed area. good for tanning, not that i need it haha...




if you're wondering, no this is not in phuket.

this one is at the Labrador Park, near harbour front. i've passed through the alexandra road junction many times but never noticed the entry, mainly because it looks like an abandoned road path.


i was glad i ventured in. at the other side of the hill, there was this almost secluded jetty that we could hang around on. it was so relaxing, and to think it was only a shortdistance away from the overcrowded vivo city.

why is it called labrador park, i have no idea. i saw a couple of dogs around there but none of them were labrador. some things just have no answer, not one that i bother to find out anyway.

me on the jetty. those jeans were killing me, i should have worn a bermuda or something under that steamy weather.

see that black dot on the top left? it's half UFO i accentically captured. haha ok it's this irritating spot that never went away eventhough i cleaned my lense. damn, time to send my canon powershot G7 for service.

and this is also the shot that made me realize i need a haircut.

this one is at Bottle Tree Village in sembawang, up in the north. apparently there was this guy alex neo that was so mesmerized by this tree in australia that he shipped over 6 of them to singapore for the cost of $30k each. rich people does all the crazy stuff, don't they?

alex neo isn't the only one. i was mesmerized by the trees too that i just have to put it into action, resulting in this photo on the left.

after all, this is all i can do considering there's no way i can fork out $30k to ship this kind of tree elsewhere.

not now anyway.

in limited space like s'pore, i think the government has done a good job in preserving these greenery sites. there are so well-maintained that each visits feel like a nature escapade.

i just think that when you have not much of something, you will treasure it more. like nobody cares about the orang utans until they were almost extinct. something like that.

for me, i just need a place to go to during those lazy weekends.

my baby that carries me to all those places. and no, it's not enviromental friendly
