鸟 人

That's what Jurong Bird Park (JBP) really is all about - lotsa birds (鸟) and lotsa people (人). I shall not dwell into discussions concerning a specific kind of people termed '鸟人' right now...

7 Jun 07 marked Jae's very first visit to the JBP. We'd originally intended to make the trip in the morning, just as we had done for the zoo trip. However, the little one decided to wake up exceptionally early that day, so mommy projected that her battery would need recharging not long after the park's opening hours @ 0900hrs. So, we decided to let Jae have an earlier morning nap, and make the journey to the west about noon time.

At the park, we noticed (with some amusement on my part) that there were many many Indian and Japanese tourists (what is it with Indians and Japanese and birds? I mean, we didn't see that many of them at the zoo the other day...). While Jae had her porridge lunch that Angie tar-pao'd for her, I went to a snack counter near the entrance to grab our lunch. Not much choices...so ended up paying 10 bucks for a hotdog and a chicken pie. Damn steep. JBP is really into ripping off these Indian and Japanese tourists big time.

In that 2+ hours that we spent at the JBP, we:

(1) Had lunch
(2) Watched the "Children's Parrot Show" at the Pools Amphitheatre
(3) Saw many many birds and uttered the phrase "Look! Birdbird!" many many times
(4) Took many many photos (some of which are not featured in the slideshow below)
(5) Spent a short while at the park's "Splash and Play" area.

At half past two, it got too frakking hot and Jae started to display signs of tiredness (Angie started to display signs of tiredness way before halfpast two), so we headed home.
