I Want White-faced Scops Owl!

I couldn't take my mind off these creatures~ the African White-faced Scops Owl are just so~ COOL!! Not only they are cute, they also have the anti-predator ability to transform! ^^ Ahh~ i wish i can have my very own owl, it would be so interesting yah Peter? :P Imagine..........
Fine, it may look lame. But we had a great laugh after watching the youtube video with everyone. ^^

Yes yes, VIDEO, watch this youtube video!! Get my point, its hilarious!!
Its in Japanese, but it doesnt matter really.


The owl is named Popo
When the Popo encountered a weaker owl species (in this case, a Barn owl), he spread his feathers looking larger to scare the other creature.
But when Popo faced a stronger owl species (Eurasian Eagle-Owl), he shrank and narrowed his eyes trying to hide itself from the Eurasian Eagle-Owl by making sure he looks like a tree branch hahaha.
If you notice, he kept on twisting its body trying to face its back toward the enemy, this is because the feather's on Popo's stomach are non-camouflaging white colour.

The reason for this ability is that White-faced Scops Owls are very good at controlling their feathers. The actual body is quite small but has very thick feathers. Therefore, their size can be changed easily simply by puffing or flattening their feathers.

I have to make a presentation on animal behaviour next two weeks and I really wanna talk about this creature's defense mechanism. Unfortunately I couldn't find the specific scientific paper for it. :(
Yatah kan, for not being able to present my course mates this, I might as well just blog about it.

Pu3 and Domo-kun!

Do you know?
Domo is so~ CUTE!! \(^o^)/


Whahaha~ Today im going to show off my Domo-kun collection ^^~ its not much compare to the Totoro (Gibli's) I have though.. ahhh i'll talk about Totoro next time.




For now~

Some were bought in Japan, some were bought though ebay, others were given by Jeri. ^_^

Speaking of my boyfriend, it was his birthday few days ago! Jeri's younger than me, but he is smarter than any guys i know at my age. Such a great loving person to be with. ^^

The Beginning of Second Semester

Sigh~ .....
Whhyyy~.............
Another busy semester have started, so tiring! Im so damn happy to know its finally weekend!

Still have one more post to do on London (Day 5&6). But not in a mood bahhh~ Cannot be forced kan.

So here i am :D posting my latest creation - the colourful headphone babe!

I have just bought a new cute set of watercolour, artist pen and water brush. So sakai! I never thought I could use watercolours without damaging the drawings and papers until I bought the Pentel Aquash water brush! I guess i would have known its existence a long time ago if i was an art student +_+ Aiii~ such wonderful creation.. I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN!!Notice the colours are not as nice when I scanned the drawing. Booo
Just a random girl i drew with my new artist pen - Couldn't go back, so ignore the nda-tantu-ness.

I bought a new journal as well~ hehe... Brought it along with me to class on the 1st day of uni.

This is how my notes look like.
And of course, it's only for the 1st day ;)

Bah atu saja
..So sleepy.. but it's only 6.40pm!

My January With Zai (Day 3&4)

Here's the 2nd part of my London holiday...

..Ugh wait, its wasn't really a holiday for me actually, i had to spare some time to study everyday in London. Thus I didn't get to spent time enjoying as much as I wanted with Zai.. Although it was really wonderful by just being able to be by her side ^^

*******************
Day 3

Madame Tussaud! \(^o^)/
I've been to the one in HK, so im only going for Zai's sake this time. Turned out, London's Madame Tussaud is so much bigger and interesting!
Entrance fee is 25pounds :) but it worth so much than expected.

Well im sure many people what this place is all about.I apologies for the blurry photos~ After putting the photos into multiple frames using HP Photosmart Essential, their quality reduced so much!

Something else:
Big Brother Diary Room

Daring enough to enter the room~
we were challenged to follow Big Brother's order to dance.

One thing we didn't know is that:
Our actions were shown live on many screens in that area for everyone to see!

Nyeh~ its good that we didnt know.

They recorded our video and put it into a CD available for us to buy!
I think its..12pounds each? Yay! ^_^ So we buy la~ Souvenir ba!

The other souvenir:
Our very own 3D image in a crystal photo frame! ^^
45pounds for 2, so 22.5o each.
I usually would think this is expensive~ but hopefully this would make a good memory that last for a life time. ^_^

One last photos of the day :)


***************************
Day 4

*_* Stayed in Bruhall study room *_*
Good thing Rahman was there to accompany Zai shopping.
T_T Sorry Zai, i really needed to study for exams T_T

Yet,
Delicious lunch break at Bonda's Cafe :P


End of day 4!

Extra bits - London Underground

My January with Zai (Day 1&2)

Eventhough i've been to London quite a number of times, I realized that I never did really blog about my days there before.
I thought it would be just a waste of time since many people have been to London anyway~ Nobody would even bother to look at something so 'boreng'.

I should put that aside.

Im doing this for myself from now on~ My life is becoming more lively and refreshing eversince i tried putting more of 'me' in my blog :)

*******************

Day 1

Arrived London 8.15 in the morning.
Finally got to see my best friend after nearly 2 years!
We had a great talk in some cafe around Paddington~ so many to catch up!In late afternoon
Zai introduced me to Asmin and Hazwan. Together, we went to Abercrombie
Got a free picture taken with this guy model and his hotty-hot body~
Hubba-hubba!

Dinner
Nandos

Sigh~ how come Aberdeen's Nandos not halal kan? Not fair eh~..


*********************

Day 2

London Eye and Sea-Life Aquarium!
The weather was fantastic! :)

Its actually its the 1st time for me to get onto London Eye~
Quite expensive bah, 17pounds! (and that's with discount already!). Got to see a great view of London though :)

Next,
15pounds to see the aquarium! ^_^ Worth it!


Lovely photo magnet and keychain souvenirs!

The first 2 days was fun~ how will the last 4 be?

Guess you just have to wait ;) *wink*
