autopia

Autopia is a Disneyland attraction, in which patrons steer specially designed cars through an enclosed track.

Autopia gives children the chance to get behind the wheel and hit the road of tomorrow.

The name Autopia comes from the words "automobile utopia".


ready to jump in the space-age automobile!



My girl and I took a drive along the futuristic streets and crazy corners. She was supposed to take the wheel but the automobile just moved too slow! I was afraid that the driver behind us might grumble. So I had to take over.

She was amused and giggling away.
A lesson learned: Driving is not easy after all!


a view at the finishing point

Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures along the drive as I was busy helping out at the wheel..

    Driving is not easy after all if without any traffic lights or traffic polices.

    This seemed like a nice ride. Unlike the crazy and scary roller coaster.

    I think we women, feel romantic about Princes and Princess. Must stem back to our childhood fairy tales.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
