Sentosa Flower Show (Part 8-Imbiah)

Continuing from yesterday's post on the flower show, this is another landscape with flowers around. This is with an American Indian Theme.

Can you find me or my Sues hiding inside the tee pee? (hehehe)


I know my best friend CC, in Texas would love this.



Hope CC received the smoke signal that Sunbonnet Sue send to her.

P.S. CC, Sue send her regards to you and she is very well behaved. :) Can you find her and her cousins hiding in the tee pees?

Sentosa Flower Show 2009 - Part 7 - Impiah

Continuing from yesterday's post, this is another landscape at the flower show in Sentosa. It feature a rainbow. They are all made from flowers.



Yipeee.......I found a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow...:)

So the next time you see a rainbow, do remember to find you pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

More photos coming in next post.

Sentosa - Flower Show 2009(Part 6) at Imbiah-Pink Saturday - Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day to all.

This is part of the Sentosa Flower Show 2009. But this is not at the palawan beach, it is on higher grounds near the famous Merlion icon of Singapore. Will talk more about the merlion in another post. There are altogether four merlion icons in Singapore. Two at Merlion park , one is at Sentosa and the last one at Mount Faber. You can view them in my posts in here.

This is so cute, a valentine heart shaped flower arrangement for Valentine's Day. Trying to take photo of this cute couple proved difficult. There are so many people queueing to take photo of this couple. The cushions infront of them are for people to sit and pose with them. I have to be quick with my fingers and take this photo once the people left the cushions...lol.

The Ox family at the flower show. Do you know the meaning of Ox? It is funny why it is known as The Year of the Ox and not the Year of the Bull or the Year of the Cow.

I just found out that Ox meant a castrated bull....lol. So is the above Mr. Ox stopping at two? I thought we are supposed to encourage the young to have more children in a low birth rate country.

This will be my contribution for Pink Saturday.

Please return to see more beautiful photos of the flower show and the 37ft merlion in my next few posts.

Skywatch-Sentosa Flower Show at Palawan Beach Part 5

Still at Sentosa, I saw these huge flower wind mills at the beach. I enjoyed my little trip to Sentosa, been a long time since I visited this little island off the south west of Singapore.

There are more attractions in Sentosa besides beaches. Universal Studio will be completed by next year and there will be a casino here. I will be looking forward to the theme park but not the casino (cause I never won anything in Casino...lol). Good thing there's a cap of an entrace fee of $100 for the local to visit the Casino.

Two short videos to show you the surrounding area of the beach.

Sentosa Flower Show at Palawan Beach Part 4 - Landscape

Continuing from yesterday's post on Sentosa Flower Show. Besides flowers and the recyle exhibition, there's a landscape show at Palawan Beach too.
This is supposed to be the shape of a turtle.

There are many plants in shape of animals here, like the beaver, penguin, etc.

These plants looked so cute and pretty, sorry dont know what plants are these. I have never see these before.

Please return tomorrow for skywatch, it comes with a video of the beach. :)

Sentosa Flower Show 2009 - Palawan Beach Part 3 - Sculpture Exhibition/Competition

Continuing from my yesterday's post on the sculpture exhibition/competition using recycled items.

This pot using rows of hose as the body of the pot/kettle looked so new to me. I thought they are supposed to use recycled items. No wonder they dont get first prize.

I like the way they used the umbrella as decoration.

Even spades are used for this sculpture...very clever.

A scarecrow sculpture...this is cute.

And the winner is the above photo - surprised? I too thought so but looked at their sculptures they really used recycled items. Well Done.

More sculptures found on the beach.

Please return to visit more on Sentosa Flower Show 2009.

My World - Reduce, Reuse and Recyle Exhibition -Palawan Beach, Sentosa (Part 2)

Continuing from my yesterday's post on flowers show in Sentosa 2009, these sculptures exhibition/competition are also part of the flower show. They are part of the reuse, reduce and recyle programmes.

Part of the sculpture are made of used egg crates, bottles and paper plates.
The giant brush writting a couplet with the words "Chun" (spring). The couplet is made of styrofoam and the wordings are made of small rocks.

Now this is so cute.

The flower pots are so adorable.

Can you all spot the recyled gloves in this sculpture?

Please return tomorrow for more photos of more sculptures and found out which landscape won the sculpture competition.

Please visit "That's my World" for other parts of the world.

Sentosa Flower Show 2009-Part 1(Palawan Beach)

This year flower show at Sentosa for Chinese New Year are held at two different locations. One is at Palawan Beach and the other at Impiah. Both places are in Sentosa.

There are not many flowers over at Palawan Beach but still I would like to share some of the photos that I took. Geez, so sorry....I dont know most of the names of the flowers.

Purple is my favourite colour and I like the above darker purple flowers. These are Gomphrena globosa (Globe amaranth)....thank you Mable for the names of the flowers.

Celosia cristata (Cockscomb).

Marigold

Red Poinsettia

Zebra plant

Please return for more photos of landscape flowers and plants taken during the flower show in sentosa.

P.S. Thank you so much Mable for the names of the flowers (see comments). I am so educated today. I need to make a picture dictionary of flowers labelled according to colours and alphabetical order...lol.

My favourite flowers and colour - Lavender

These are lavender flowers that I took in a lavender farm in Melbourne few years ago. My favourite colour is purple so you can see how delighted I was when I saw these purple lavender flowers. I did not know that lavender comes in other colours too till Mable from flowers in Singapore posted a special post just for me. She knew I like lavender flowers. :) Thanks Mable. If you are interested in flowers, do pop over to her blog to see those beautiful flowers.

I never knew they have lavender tea too...lol. But I dislike the tea, tasted funny. I bought some lavender cream from the farm (sorry no photos), they are so good to the skin. :)

And if that is not all, my sister bought this special pillow from Japan (not cheap), in it are dried lavender flowers. Yayy, I love you sis. The pillow serves as an aromatherapy pillow and each time I lied on it, I smell like lavender flowers too...lol.

I will tried to post more purple items next time when I run out of photos to post...lol

Pink Saturday-Singapore River Hongbao 2009

My contribution for pink saturday are these pink flowers and the pink stage, photo taken during the Singapore River Hongbao 2009. These will be my last photos for the Singapore River Hongbao 2009 series of photos.

These pink flowers are not the real thing, they are artificial.

The peacockis cute and lovely and trying to just snap the peacock is difficult cause there are so many people waiting to take photo with the peacock so I ended up taking photo of the peacock and a stranger...lol

The stage is decorated and lighted with pink lights.

For more pinky participants, please visit Beverly of How Sweet The Sound.
