^ Yesterday, I went to check out the humming bird nest in my garden again, and hey, the nestling grow up real fast man! A week ago they’re still so small and naked(you get what I mean, blehz), but now they’re already so energetic!

Most of the time they’ll stay inside the nest (but they’re already so big that their almost filled the whole nest!) but if you touch or shake (not vigorously of course) their nest a bit (or just the twig their nest hang from), they’ll reach their head out and start shaking and chirp as they thought their mom brought food for them.

Watching them this close is a very fascinating experience, really. =) I really hope I have a telephoto lens at this moment so I can watch and shoot from some distance away; or a macro lens so I can go closer to the nestling. Who said photography has nothing to do with the gears? =p

And yea, quite sure there are two of them inside only, =p So cute! =D

I am cleaning my room now, and hell, I still keep my form 1-5 notes and books, LoL! So many stuffs to throw away, blehz.

Good question. I don’t really know what it means, but it rhymes with stumble and tumble. Haha. Heard of it somewhere. I hope it isn’t something vulgar (well it starts with an F so I’m a little bit worried)…
