Nong Nooch Tropical Garden, Pattaya


It was a grueling 3 - hour ride from Bangkok to Pattaya, my butt was already complaining for sitting down that long but it all disappear after seeing this largest collections of flower and fauna that are meticulously arranged into a great and stunning landscape.It took my breath away! I couldn't help but be inspired when surrounded with such beauty.


Nong Nooch garden was only a half - hour ride away from Pattaya beach, a vast area showcasing individually themed parks. It was nevertheless a tranquil - friendly botanical garden that I highly recommend you guys to put into your toplists to visit in Thailand. It doesn't rest only on its botanical offerings, but there are much more to try with....one of it is their spectacular Thai cultural perfomances, an excellent introduction to Thailand's history and culture.

Thai Classical Dances


Thai Ancient Sword Fights

And to top the day off, we feasted our eyes to their Thai cultural icon, the elephant show. It was really fun watching those lovely troupes of elephant with their amazing tricks and skills in painting, throwing a ball, or even massage! =D =D =D
It was really cute. I was so thrilled watching them honestly! =)

Elephant Dart Shooter

Elephant, The T - Shirt Painter

Opps!!! The Art of Touch =D

Wow! that was incredibly spectacular experience despite of the melting effect of the sun. One day is not enough strolling around the area by just merely walking. I should have tried elephant riding in the future to see its full beauty.
Till the next, have a splendid weekend guys Xx

Teachers Escapade: Day 1 - Island Hopping at Harapan, Bira, Perak and Gosong Islands

Image
Date of Exploration: 6-8 January 2015 Back from holiday....back to reality. Our 3D2N trip in Pulau Seribu was indeed very fun and relaxing. Pulau Seribu, or commonly known as Thousand Islands was located at the northern part of Jakarta's coast. I do in fact miss the sun and the beach so much!!! A few days ago, I visited few of the major islets in Pulau Seribu with my colleagues. These are the Harapan, Bira, Perak, and Gosong islands. The Muara Angke Pier. Despite the 90 minutes bumpy long drive from Muara Angke pier to Pulau Harapan (our first stop and where our villa is located), we are absolutely rewarded with the majestic views of the Java Sea which tooks us taking lots of pictures with our photographers onboard, Ms. Marilou and Ms. Mona. Too many photos to edit, so I created a collage out of it. Let them load! ;) It's time for us teachers to unwind and refresh ourselves before going back to our routines....and be attuned with nature..... Pulau Bira, onc...

Quick Getaway with Mom at Manleluag Spring National Park

Image
I rarely get to spend quality one-on-one time with my mom because of my busy schedules and an ocean away from her since I'm working abroad, but we managed to take time off for a much needed mother-daughter bonding time recently at Manleluag Spring National Park, Mangatarem Pangasinan. Two swimming pools of this protected landscape are filled with warm, mountain water that was really soothing to the nerves and soul. So I think Mom would love it! Happy to see her smile that day with all the gorgeous snaps ;) Look Up style according to Mom. :D :D :D We were both really refreshed and rejuvenated after the short dip at the pool, and so glad for the precious time there together! Gonna make it a point to bring her back more often ;) Afterwhich, because we were really close by, we decided to drop by to my mother - in - law's place for a quick snacks and to witnessed the birthday celebration of my husband's niece. Party!!! Party!!! Party!!!

Singapore's Stunning Sculptures

Image
On our way out to the Singapore Botanical Garden, attractions never ends. The views are very amazing which made us to take more photos before it rain. Spotted many freestanding sculptures which adds life and humour to the site's natural grace. FREDERICK CHOPIN, the most eminent Polish composer   Overlooking to this was the Shaw Foundation Symphony Stage, where music enthusiasts regularly gathers there for some orchestral performances.   Girl on a Bicycle   Girl on a Swing, sculptured by Sydney Harpley, R.A The exuberant "Swing Me Mama" The Swiss Granite Fountain    There are more delighted artworks but it seems the rain can't no longer wait for us and so we spent the hours back again in the Botany Centre while waiting for the rain to stop. Spotted different styles of Christmas tree and decors. The Clock Tower of Singapore, a gift from the Patron Lady Yuen - Peng McNeice, December 1998. Christmas spirit is on the air. I was surprised only few people visit this p...
