Singapore Remembrance
AJ Jorge December 18th, 2007
Before I hop to Sydney tomorrow, let me share this photos taken from Underwater World in Sentosa and Night Safari
There was this blue screen in Underwater World. Taking your picture and doing wacky poses is free but you have to buy the print if you want something to take home with you. We bought both poses we did. 
Night Safari. This one is rather different. There was a guy who suddenly stopped us in our way and pointed us to the wall so he could take our picture. Then he waved us away to get the next people’s pictures. Parang assembly line. Hehe
Pinoy Cool Shooters @ Sentosa
AJ Jorge November 21st, 2007
Last time Pen and me went to Sentosa (part 1, part 2 and part 3), we were on the tourist road. We obviously went to the tourist attractions and never actually bothered to step on the beaches.
When I went back there with the photography buddies, we stayed on the beach the whole time we were there. Even though it’s oredi (heh, that’s how it sounds when Singaporeans say it) November, people are still trekking the beach and having summer fun! There was even a concert/band event when we went there so there were more people than the usual.
Thanks to the guys from Pinoy Shooters for these picture set.
Singapore Zoo
AJ Jorge October 25th, 2007
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.
Obviously, Jurong Bird Park is exclusive for birds, Night Safari is for the nocturnal animals and the Singapore Zoo is for all others that doesn’t fit the first two. It’s all good nonetheless but Pen and I ranked it the last among the three.
There’s a tram ride within the zoo itself but we felt like walking the whole day. There were trinkles of rain but not really pouring down.

Christchurch Trip
penny June 21st, 2007
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...]
Lakbayan Grade
AJ Jorge June 14th, 2007
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.
