Entrance to LaTourette

The silence of LaTourette's spaces..the crude lighting in the corridors at night..refrain yourself from entering private spaces..the trasnslucent spaces that creates a transitional spaces..the Dominican friars of LaTourette are glad to welcome all visitors, architects, architecture lovers & students from all over the world. AAD students (Strathclyde Uni) made a field trip to the monastery on 25 - 29 November 2004. The architecture of La Tourette has to be experienced slowly. We stayed in a chateau, a 2mins walking distant to La Tourette for 4nights. A spooky experience indeed!

SnowFlake

('o') Had SnowFlake since October and she is now 17weeks old. SF is the short name for SnowFlake since all of us had difficulties of pronouncing such a long name. The best part is that all along thought SF was a 'he' untill Kelvin realised that SF has got lil' tits and confirmed that SF is in fact a 'she'. SF took her first bath of her life yesterday after Ajan said that she smell more like a kambing! And it seems that she quite like the warm water and the smell of my Garnier shampoo on her. Kelvin was the one who gave her the bath coz I'm afraid that I prolly drowned her. No risk taken!! :p
Her fur has now become more fluffy & white than before..

Okies..I'll post pix of her first bath when Syah has upload the pix to the shared folder..

Cioa babe!

SF gumukkk...!!
