Beanie's Pretty Flowers

My Bean Plant Blooms

Wow! Will I get beans soon? I hope so! Exciting!

Green Belt Now!

Whoo Hoo!

The grading was quite difficult but whew! I got my green belt!

Beanie Reaches For The Sky!

Remember the bean from my science teacher?

It has grown!

Yep, that's beanie, from that tiny seedling!



It is scaling the window grills and has gotten right to the top. Wonder where it will head next because it has touched the balcony ceiling.

Beanie is matured now because it is starting to bear flowers.

Y a y!

A Sad Bird Story

Luckily, It's A Happy Ending....

Notice anything strange about this bird here?

Macaws have long colourful tails. But she doesn't.

We were told that Polly's previous owner did not know how to care for her properly. Bored, she developed a bad habit of pulling out her own feathers.

When she was first found, she was in a sorry state apparently, with flesh showing. With good carers, she has grown her feathers back.

But when mum and I saw her, she was still a loner. Sat on her own. Poor bird.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE
Don't take exotic animals and keep them as pets if you don't know how to care for them.

Awesome Creepy Crawlies

Amazing Encounters

at the Butterfly & Insect Kingdom in Sentosa

We got so close to the friendly butterflies! In the picture below which mum took, you can even see the curled up proboscis of the buttlerfly!
The place had a really fantastic collection of insect specimens. There were all sorts of butterflies, some with metallic coloured wings and even transparent wings!

Look, this brown butterfly had "eyes" on its wings to trick predators.
Spot the butterfly on this branch of leaves. How cleverly camouflaged the butterfly was!









Now this isn't a butterfly at all. It is a jungle grasshopper. Can you beat that?!







Mum loved the collection of beetles. Some were really cute like the ones that look like they were wearing warrior masks (man face beetles). There were champions among them, like the World's Largest Rhino Beetle below. It was really, really eye-opening.

Magic! Look At My Flowers!

At First, They Were WHITE.... A little science experiement reveals the magic here. My white flowers became these colours because we "dyed" them. Fun!
