A walk with Nicole

Spent the morning taking a walk with Nicole at Changi Beach before she flies off to NZ & Aussieland for a year. Call it quality time, or whatever, but it was good. Also gave her the opportunity to drive in SG for a day since she'd passed her driving test yesterday. Such memories will always remain closest to the heart. Take good care of yourself, dear daughter.

A Scaly-Breasted Munia (look like sparrow, huh?)

A Black-Naped Oriole ... I just call it the yellow bird

Resident Malayan Water Monitor
(mistakenly called an iguana in Singapore)

Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park

A change of venue for blading today...destination : Bishan-AMK Park. A 10-min bus-ride was all that was needed to get there. Definitely much better utilized than most of the other parks I've been to. Quite busy human traffic on a Monday morning. The park, which is quite huge, is separated by Marymount Road. Most of the activities seemed to be concentrated on the eastern part hemmed by Marymount Road and Bishan Road.

There's a path for walkers and another for bikers.
Bladers need to have one leg on each path!!

Lovely open spaces
The bridges link the flats to the park

Many ponds dotted the park

See the solar panels on the pond behind the sign?

The park caters to many elderly

Wildlife in Bishan-AMK Park

The marvellous thing about this park is that despite it being located right smack in between 2 crowded housing estates, its unique design has attracted many birds and other animals.
