Fitzroy Gardens

One fine day, we decided to visit the Fitzroy Gardens and we were attacked by a swamp of FLIES. They are darn irritating. And the weather was rather warm. I was practically sweating like a pig but i have to say, it really was like Spring, with all the flowers blooming and children running around, enjoying the fresh air, the greens. It was rather mesmerizing.
Jia ning's friend, Wayne visited from somewhere (don't recall where). Incidentally, he's also from Penang. Quite a amusing young fella too.

This little boy was so cute. He was running around on his own, being observed closely by the father from afar. He was really enjoying his day out in the sun indeed.

Reminds me of Chinese New Year. So flourishingly RED. Mom, your favourite colour.

Our shadows again...

All these beautiful pictures below were taken in the Conservatory in the Fitzroy Gardens. It was breathtaking. I refused to leave that place. It's just so beautiful, the flowers, the scent, the coolness, everything about the place.

Oh yes. This little dog was owned by this ol' lady and he was just so adorable that Jia Ning and i couldn't help ourselves but to take a shot or two of him. Suprisingly, he was such an obedient dog and just sat upstraight for us to take some shots.

Then we went on our journey and went to the Cook's Cottage. Somehow i just find cottages really adorable and cozy. And i have wanted to visit the Cook's Cottage for ages now and finally....i was there.

Just outside the entrance, the two crazy lads were trying to act cute...not working, huh?

Ooohh....a zoomed in view of these bugs mating. Hahaha....there were all around...

Now this was a house just around the Fitzroy Gardens and when i first had my eyes laid on that house, all i could think about was "Alice in The Wonderland."

Us being silly...

As usual, i was being silly. I actually struggled my way through to the middle of the whole patch of flowers and took this few shots.

I don't recall what this area i called but all these houses are really small. Miniature. They are all so adorable and rather interesting. Too bad they are all fenced up and we are not allowed to go in to take a closer view. Nevertheless, we still manage to capture some pictures.

Then, as we were heading our of the gardens, we saw this wedding ceremony. I don't know if we were considered crashing that wedding but we did take some illegal photos and the bestman was giving me this really scary glare that i just had to get out of there immediately. I should have take a shot of his glare but believe me. He was a scary man.
