For those who didnt get to go the gardens in vancouver island... here's a glimpse of the fountain at display

My little Squatchi

I couldnt resist not bring this little fellow home with me despite not being a softy fan......
Its the 2010 winter Olympics Mascot for Vancouver. He is just soooo cute! To me, this Sasquatch is so much cuter than the 5 representatives for BJ's Olympics....

I proudly present my "little Squatchi" (Official name: Quatchi ) My husband couldnt stop laughing at my obsession with it and taking portrait shots for it :P

Travel Vancouver: A day at Buchart Gardens

We did a one full day excursion on bus to Vancouver Island. It was a Loooooooong day from 7am to 11pm. We visited The Buchart Gardens. It was lovely. A pity I am not exactly a flower lover to go bonkers goo goo ga ga. Those old ladies really had a ball at the venue. The only nice part for me was watching the Ross fountain water play (in memorial of the garden owner's son) at the sunken gardens.

(I thought this plant looked really weird like an alien)

(thought these were so cute like yellow brollies!)

(Above is the famous Empress hotel renowed for their afternoon tea)

(walking around the city and saw this lovely wall painting of the whales)

Vancouver: Museum of Anthropology

Suddenly remembered I havent completed my blog on Vancouver trip. Getting harder and harder to recall. Guess Pictures will have to do the trick then to retrieve some lost memories...

Here's some highlights at "Museum of Anthropology" at University of British Columbia.

(Sculpture of Raven and First Men)

(I couldnt resist "poking" fun of the wooden sculpt piece)
(Boat shape dish- used to store food and stew)



(Historical pieces collections of cultures from all over)

(lovely mini flasks..)

(see those tiny shoes for women in the olden days!) There was another section on porcelin and ceramic displays.... it was a small but interesting section.
(Walking around UBC compus...suddenly felt like going back to school!)

Fantastic dinner at C restaurant (Vancouver)

This is still day 2 of our trip and dinner was amazing once again with its fresh seafood produce. I could die from protein overdose seriously.

We tried this restaurant known as "The C restaurant" by the waters and it was absolutely divine! Service was impecable! I had booked via the opentable website and indicated for a quiet corner. When I arrived, I was led to a quiet upper level table overlooking at the patrons seated below. What made my request an excellent decision was that while we may not see the water view from up here, yet we are delightfully SPARED from the setting sun and glare into your eyes. You can imagine how uncomfortable it will be considering the sunrays isnt cool either. Its still alittle hard to accustom to the idea of dinner at 8pm, yet the sun is still shining at you!

The menu is divided into 2 main sections of entrees and mains. Within each section, the food is divided into vertical categories such as "Duck, Pork, Scallop, Lobster and Fish". It was so easy to choose from this matrix and of course I was going for the Jumbo scallops with premium pork belly and foie gras while my husband went for the full lobster with scallops! Finishing it off with the divine choc cake!
