We haven’t shared the Singapore Zoo experience we had here. I uploaded the photos sometime last month I think but Pen procrastinated as usual (tee-hee).
So, here are some pics we wanted to share (hopefully Pen will add some comments and side remarks on this entry).
The Singapore Zoo!
There are basically 3 animal park here in Singapore - Jurong Bird Park, Night Safari and the Singapore Zoo. Yeah, we went to all three - on different days. One cannot complete the three zoos in just one deal.

Pics from Christchurch, NZ trip here. No people pictures. Just the sights. And some random shots of moi.
The conference was Evolution 2007. It was too big a group to get to know everyone, so I took it slow speaking with fellow postgraduates and a handful of professional academics. Biologists are an interesting brood, I have to say. Even more so the theoretical lot. It was particularly curious to meet Mark’s colleagues from his honours, postgrad and postdoc years. What I found quite funny was his Stanford peers saying how Mark’s academic lineage extends to as far back as Karl Friedrich Gauss… so that they were calling me their academic ‘niece’, ‘cousin’ since I was, they said Mark’s ‘daughter’.
[storytelling put to a stop... i've typed up really long narratives only to get them lost into internet oblivion... guess I wasn't destined to tell too much. maybe just a bit as we go...]

This is a cool app that calculates your travel opportunities within the Philippines. Basically you will just answer questions on how often you have been to a place and it shades that region.
My Lakbayan grade is D!
How much of the Philippines have you visited? Find out at Lakbayan!

Sheesh. I got a flat grade of D.
I must be visiting other part of the country more when I get back there.
