A day (and night) at the Zoo

I can't even remember the last time I stepped foot into the Singapore Zoological Gardens, but it was rocking awesome! It still marvels me that there is this little corner tucked away in our urban jungle, full of lovely little and big animals! We had a blast that night too, cos the clever people at the zoo has decided to turn it into a Halloween playground of sorts, with 'demons' pouncing on you along the 'Ghoulish Trail' and 'Pet Cemetery'. Heheh. I feel all sixteen again. It was so much fun!

But of course, the star attractions were the animals. We went goo-goo gaa-gaaing over the white tigers, giraffes (my fave), elephants (baby's fave), otters, hyenas and so many more! Definitely worth a visit. Excellent date venue too :p

Would like to post more photos, but I am running out of photo storage space. Damn.

Never Trust a Skinny Chef

You may not be a fan of Jamie Oliver, but boy, his books are just so pretty!

I received his latest book, Jamie at Home, as a present from my bf, and I am totally in love with it. It talks about his gardening adventures, growing fresh produce, such as zucchinis, tomatoes, potatoes and the marvellous receipes that make use of these veggies. In case you think it's yet another recipe book, then you are wrong. There are anecdotes and little snippets about how he gets down and dirty in his backyard and oh so lovely pictures. Plus it's hard cover which I totally dig. Excellent coffee table book. But pretty hefty a price tag. About 70 plus.

Guess where it all started? I fell in love with his books, ever since I purchased another one of his books, Jamie in Italy. It details his trip to Italy and how he experimented with authentic Italian dishes with the locals. Beautiful, beautiful pictures. Must-read if you are in love with Italy, like I am. Now, let's just wait for the DVD release :)
