Va Va Vooom...

The annual motor expo was held in Canary Wharf for the whole of last week (13-19th June). They were more than 40 manufaturers with exihibits of over 220 of the latest cars and bikes.

We took the oppurtunity to drool over the cars they had out on display. Though much to our disappointment, the Land Rover had actually left the expo on Friday. Why they left before the weekend (I assume would have the biggest turn out) - still puzzles me. Oh well!

Here's a picture of something KL would love to own.

Though I suspect, his mum and mine would be very much happier if he were to own something this... :p

ZOOoooo

9 years in London and KL has never been to the zoo. It was a lovely Saturday afternoon and with an empty promise of a balloon and an ice-cream I managed to convince KL to accompany me for a peek at what the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) had in store for us.


The ever so shy giraffe, graced us with its presence for a meer minute before getting stage fright.

The playful lioness trying to get loving attention from the "king".

The tiger seemed to be constantly saying "I'm famished!" everytime our eyes met. Needless to say, I didn't hang around too long!

One of my many favourite pictures, a very grumpy looking gorilla.

The other resident's of the zoo - the anti-social penguin, the proud Arabian oryx, the elegant sea horse and the comical alpaca.

The vibrantly coloured starlet Ibis and the flamingoes by the lake.

The sight of a hippo always reminds me of a friend's mum who was chased by one that escaped from the Taiping Zoo. It ended up in the Lake Gardens, a popular spot frequented by joggers. My friend's mum certainly sprinted for her dear life that day!

On one sunny day, KL and I decided to venture out to London take some photos. Below are some snap shots of the famous St Paul's Cathedral.

View from the campsite

We've finally developed the films from our previous Wales trip. I really liked this picture KL took. So, thought I'd put it up as well. It was taken at the campsite as the sun set.
