Tulip Sunday at Wellington Botanic Garden

alooooooo ...

sibuk sangat selama nie sampai abang ngah komplen blog tak ber-update :-) activity banyak sangat cuma masa jer takde untuk menulis ....kang boh gambar ajer, ada yang abang ngah komplen kang ....anyway, today I am staying in ..malas nak kuar sebab esok ada plan nak hiking - a 6km hike esok..so today rehat kan kaki ....plus i need to do some work today as I have some tasks need to be completed by 18th nie ...

anyway, a few sunday back was Tulip Sunday - a festival to celebrate and welcome springtime ...it was 21st sept (same day as birthday my anak buah yang ansem) ..and apparenty this year punya festival marks the 70th year dah dibuat here ...so, it was  special occassion sebab dorang buat together ngan dutch festival ...sebab the very first festival dulu pun kerjasama with the dutch ..with tulip bulbs didermakan oleh dutch government ....



as usual, akak terpesona with all the tulips ...really really an awesome display ..tapi sebab gi masa festival kan ....a Welly City event, org ramai le ...berlaga vontot jugak le nak posing ngan tulips ...but, akak  kan very determined hahaha ...cuma tak tolak orang jer hahaha ..tolak sopan santun gitu ..



I went with my friend Lynette ...dia nie dulu opis sebelah opis aku ..now dah kerja ..so memang kalau tak weekend tak jumpa lah ...that day memang kitorang both bored and bila tau ada tulip festival, laju jer buat plan to meet up..Botanic Garden is about 5 mins walk from my current flat ..so convenient for me! 

I went jugak last year ..but not during the tulip sunday ...gi sepintas lalu utk ambik gambar jer ..this time, we spent half a day there ..just to soak up the atmosphere ...and ada spesis baru ...called honeymoon ..the petal looks like lace!




the others are just as amazing I tell you .....i fall in love everytime hahaha ....







since it was concurrent with Dutch festival ..banyak le stalls selling dutch food ...love the stollen bread ..so yumm! aku lupa ambik gambar hahaha ..then there were people selling tulips and tulip bulbs ....everyone is in customes..children and adults alike!





Balik from the festival, we went through the garden ....lots of photos ..nanti upload kat posting lain ...i cant wait for summer when all the roses will bloom :-)
