Singapore Trip - Day 3

We went to Jurong Bird Park in the morning. I'm not sure why, but few of my friends laughed at me when they learned I went to the Bird park. We reached there around 11am and managed to catch the morning show. It was drizzling earlier on, causing the environment to be very hot and humid after the show, thus making us feel very unpleasant to walk around the park. We stopped by air-conditioned places to catch some breather any chance we got.

Super hungry birds

There's a place where visitors can feed the birds and snap some nice photos while feeding the birds. Infact, the birds just followed you everywhere you go with the feeding on your hand. In other area, it was difficult to see any bird at all, as there were too many bushes/trees around, and the birds like to hide in these places.


Next we went the Zoo, and reached there around 4pm by taking a long journey in a bus from the MRT station. The white tigers there was magnificent. There's a polar bear as well, but the bear seemed abit "cuckoo" in the head as it keep walking the same path, round and round the whole time. Perhaps it is lonely as there's no other mate at all.

We did not go for the night safari as was planning to meet my friend that is currently staying in Singapore for dinner. She brought us to Bukit Timah for indian food, which i feel is quite nice. I guess we must have been to the wrong places to eat all these while.


After dinner, we went for some sight-seeing in areas around City Hall. Singapore National Library was super huge, more than 10 stories if not mistaken, and the land area stretches the whole road. Even our camera cannot fit the whole front area of the library. From there, we stopped by the parliment, clarke quay and merlion for more photo shooting. Here, we saw 2 beggers in Singapore for the first time. It seems that the rate of encounter in Singapore tourist area was relatively low :)
