The Zoo and mooncakes

It's been a busy week, had a test today and a few homeworks to do which explains why my blog hasn't been updated.. oh and almost all the american tv shows start their new seasons this week :)

Anyway the international students office planned a trip to the zoo for us international students so a bunch of us decided to check it out and i took the opportunity to improve/practise my photography skills. I took about 250 shots, a few shots for each animal so that I would get the best picture. Quite a few came out really nice such as the pic below. It took me ages to get a good shot as the otters were swimming around too fast and there were little kids in the way.

and this

There were all kinds of animals from bears to bison to lions to huge ass gorillas and even penguins! Definately better than Zoo Negara! The only disappointing thing was the amount of time we got to spend there. We arrived at about 1.30pm and had to leave by 3.30pm, 2 hours?! it was definately not enough, but then again it was scorching out in the sun and we had to go to a mooncake celebration organised by the malaysian society at 4pm.

All the malaysians who attended were taken to a picnic area in the woods nearby, there were barbeques around and benches with shelter which was nice.


We were made to play some silly get-to-know-each-other games which took ages and people lost interest halfway which was useless!! I ventured out into the woods to find see if I could find anything interesting:

Yup some ants getting jiggy

and a red berry of some sort

Then it was time to eat mooncakes and play with lanterns and take group pics.. and I still havn't received any of those group pics from the "official" photographer haha. Overall it was an enjoyable get together although there could've been more girls.. jeez like 1902748037481234019 guys and 2 girls? what's going on there?!

Yup taken without a tripod
