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.

Skywatch

Oh I love this photo of the sky. I was in Sentosa, when I noticed the sun hiding behind the clouds. Perfect shot. I like the rays coming out of the clouds.
