It's been some years since I started this blog. Supposedly, it was only to share my plight as a cancer patient and survivor but over the years it has somehow evolved into something personal about my life and my family. So really glad to have met you all wonderful people out there. Someone commented once that he liked the title of this blog, Dreams and Escapes. Dream on, there are more things in life than we really think. Be happy, you only live once. Sometimes you also need an escape from the vicissitudes of life and this blog helps me cope. Welcome. Feel free to leave your comments, I do welcome them.

What A Surprise!
I can’t believe I haven’t touched and visited this blog like forever (an exaggeration of course) but I was so focused on updating my main blog so I forgot about this. Early this morning while I was watering the plants, I looked up at our jackfruit trees and saw this. I was hoping I could […]

I loved zoos as a child, and it is great to see the excited look on Nate’s face.
For a long time in my teens, I considered that zoos were cruel to cage animals, Once I was mature enough to see the good work that they do with conservation, I started going again, and have been to many zoos in the UK, and the one in Singapore.
In London, I was lucky enough to live very close to the zoo, and visited it often. I also once held a python, like the one in the photo, during a trip to Kenya. I remember it was very heavy!
Best wishes as always, Pete.

I asked Nissa if it was smooth to the touch and she said, it was but quite heavy. It’s been years since I visited one. My daughter was so amazed by the crocodile farm in Palawan and she also enjoyed having pictures with the elephants in Thailand when she and her friends made a short visit there to learn Thai cooking..

He was so brave about it all. There was even a picture that he was practically embracing the python 🙂
Thanks Tina 🙂

Oh My! He is certainly braver than I would have been. I admire and respect these cold blooded animals but I am perfectly content to do it from afar! He is so beautiful. I am certain he is the glimmer in your eye. Enjoy every moment of your grandbaby! hugs to you.

He is a brave little boy. I haven’t even touched a python that close. come to think of it, I haven’t even touched one at all. The last time I visited a zoo with Nissa and Josef, the former was not married yet and the only thing I did enjoy was to hold the hand of a friendly orangutan and let a cockatoo jump on my shoulder…hahaha!
I don’t see Nate often enough but we get to shout to each other over Viber once in a while. Thank you so much Tina, hugs back to you. God bless!
