I Lap Kyoto

There are so many reasons to like it. There`s good food, friendly ppl selling good food, friendly ppl u meet on the streets, friendly and good looking travelers to cuci mata :P, quaint streets, cheap one day bus ticket so it does not matter if you get lost, lots of arty stuff, beautiful buildings, nature..............and the list goes on.

Yummmmmmy Ramen....

My kind of street

These are some wicked carvings
Nice scenery . Gonna paint this soon.
Cool. There's like a ditch along the hall and they decorated it wif zen stone garden design and toped it wif glass so its possible to walk on top.
Leng lui who likes to cam-whore and sing K. :P
I swear, even the flowers are more beautiful.

I lap lotus.

Actually, the main reason for going to Kyoto was to invest time and energy in my new found hobby; Bird watching. :D Its not easy k. The birds just can't seem to keep still for long and they tend to keep a distance from humans. And spotting them can be a real heart ache cos most of them are small and they camouflage well. So, I gotta learn to tread softly, be fast wif binoculars and camera, try to blend in, be patient, identify bird types better and to think like a bird. Hahaha.....lots to learn, lots of birds to spot. Yeah. Happiness.

Little egret and Intermediate egret

I still dunno what this is. >.<
Spotted bill duckCommon sparrow

And this, gave me quite a hard time. Kept flying from one branch to another.

Its actually this bird. Im so happy Kyoto Gyoen has signs like this. How informative.This is too cute. There's a bird bath in some bushes to attract the birds there to bath. Caught this one in action. It was splashing water about and fluffing up its feathers. So cute can. I almost forgot to take a picture. But cos the zoom's still not keng enough its not that clear. Lucky I have my trusty binoculars to watch every single second of cuteness this little bird oozes out.

Its this bird. :D

There were a few others, but they did not stop long enough for me to snap a pic. Gah, hope I get better wif more practice.

But for now, internship is gonna take the the main stage. Two weeks. The boss seems nice. The staff seems nice. From wat he said to me , I think I will be learning oddles. :D Hurray! and I get $$$ as well. Muahahaha......

突然嵐の様に

A super duper awesome STORM hit the area here yesterday afternoon.

Super syiok!!!!!! Matches my mood nowadays.

Had been waiting for a storm for ages. I missed those we get in M`sia. All those flashes of lightning, howling wind, stormy clouds....

and yesterdays one was no disappointment. It raged like a mad tempest, howling and crying and tearing away. The clouds were no match for it. Roughly pushed this way and that, they got disgustingly angered up and painted the sky a splash of black, grey and white. All those pent up energy exploded in flashes of light and thundered on, rumbling and grumbling. The torrential rain battered on, creating mosaics over rooftops and pavements, beating the heat out of the sunbaked earth. Now smell. Smell the stinging smell of hot earth, the smell of rain and the fresh smell of water soaked vegetation.

Such magnificence, one can only gaze up in awe.

And as fast as it came, the sky cleared up quite fast after.

The downfall of this would be the fact that the Internet connection got cut off for the night. Gawd, I seriously had Internet withdrawal symptoms. Cannot study...... and somehow i ended up with this and clocked some serious study time later. The wonders of art.

........ended up abstract art. They say u can tell things through art. I dun really know wat i did also. Just splash paint and use hand dab dab, swirl swirl to get desired effect, no brush. Wanted to feel and smell the paint. Hmmmm.............What do you think? I cannot think.

Anyway, im off. Gtg study. Muahaha.....

Interesting things stick on to rolling tumbleweeds

セミの抜け殻 ( Cicada`s detached exoskeleton )

Found some today. Uber cool. Never seen them before. Did i mention that they are cool? Oh yes i did say that they are cool , i can`t get over how cool they are. バッタ (Grasshopper)

They have sharp conical heads instead. Interesting.

春が来た!

Spring is here. The flowers are blooming. I don`t know why but i`ve caught a bug. I can`t seem to get enough of going out to see flowers and taking pictures of them.

How could they be so gorgeous? Amazingly, i am still not satisfied. Feel like going to some park next.
