I saw an OSTRICH today! two in fact! for the first time in my life! boy! they look huge n big! and they have 2 toes! that's one of the features we always learn abt ostrich right? nice! n i dare not stand too close to take a photo with them..lest they peck me. they keep pecking at the fence. at first, we only saw one ostrich. then le ying asked why it's so sad, got no company. then, a black ostrich started runnin out of its shed at top speed (or so it seems). so it frightened many of us incl myself. and i started screaming and runnin backwards. haha.

today, we had some short trekking. actually, not really lyk trekking cos there are proper granite paths. but it was a good and pleasant walk! can apply my geography too! weathering. can see the different portholes due to weathering on the rocks. nice. i think they are granite though they are v black. i wish ms seow is here to explain. and i think it has something to do with corestones. seems lyk cos it can't be mass movement. it was a wonderful sight! take nice photos too! :)

of course, there was a price to pay. climbing lots of steep steps :S it sure was tiring and made me breatheless. but good views too. at 2 different look-out points. can see the mountains. highest mountain of Indo-China. tat's wad Xiang said. and she climbed there b4! for 3 days! exciting. should i train myself up for that too? well, thank God for the good weather! clear and nice!

a pity mum and po-po din join us...so when we take family photo, it was lyk an incomplete family photo. haha. and Xiang burned all our tickets for the Cat Cat village! haha. cos she needed fire to dry her clothes. aww. so i quickly took my ticket for this one!

had a nice chat with michael again on the way down. and together with le jing too. the 3 of us :) dunno why he so mean to his sisters. haha. so when we reached back the hotel, it was totally rushing. to shower in half-hour and the water was only mildly hot. boo. not lyk last night where it was really hot. ha. later going to see waterfall! yeah! excited! i hope photo-taking wun diminish the more significant purpose of going there---to enjoy the scenery, take them in and really thank God and all. sigh. anticipation!

and this morning i woke up with pain in my leg. it was due to that hip-bone pain that i had due to ytday's walking. boo. but hey! during breakfast, there was a splendid view! indeed royal as the name of the hotel says so. it was 3 parts to the picture, from top to bottom: clear blue sky, mountain top & range, fog, buildings. awesome!
