                                      Aren't birds clever? Look at this bird nest and you will agree with me. It's wonderful to see that the birds are able to build a nest for their eggs from scrap materials. The birds don't seem to be too frightened of people because they have built their nest right in front of the school, just next to the front entrance.The nest is actually hanging on a branch of a potted plant. This picture was taken on 26 April 2012. Will the mother bird lay any eggs in it? If nobody disturb the nest, I guess it will.


                                           Guess what kind of tree this is? If you can take a good look at it, you may see some fruit on it. I didn't quite believe my eyes because this is a chiku tree. I have never come across such a gigantic chiku tree. I guess this must be a pretty old tree though it still bears fruit. Didn't find out whether the chikus are tasty but I can tell you where to find the tree. It is in the compound of St Joseph's Church at Bukit Timah

Cable Cars at Genting

This scenic view of the cable cars was taken from a hotel window in Genting. It was the first sunny morning of my December visit so I decided to snap some pictures. The beautiful sky with the white clouds made a perfect background for the cable cars.
