Jurong Bird Park
Matthew and I went to Jurong Bird Park yesterday. It was fun. Entry was free, courtesy of Auntie Jannie, who lent us her family pass to JBP. Only needed to pay $4 for the panorail ride.
First stop was the Penguin Parade. It was all dark and cool. We saw lots of penguins, big and small, some were swimming, some were just "hanging" around.
Next, we took the panorail to Lory Loft. Matthew enjoyed walking around the elevated walkways and the suspension bridge.

Third stop was the Waterfall Aviary. We walked to the suspension bridge and was greeted by 3 birds. The view from the bridge was fabulous.
What did Matthew see?
3 birds walking across the bridge
Then we walked to the base of the waterfall.

Finally we made our way back to the entrance atrium. We saw the beautiful pink flamingoes from the panorail. When we got off the panorail, Matthew said, "Xia qu kan Fla-min-go." (Go down to see Flamingo)
He was so captivated by the pink flamingoes and waved his hands when he saw them flapped their wings.
We stopped by the Talking Birds (mynahs, parrots and macaws). Only one said, "Harlow!" The rest were all quiet.
It was near lunchtime, so we made our way to the exit and went to Auntie Jan's place. Matthew had his lunch there and spent the entire afternoon there, made himself comfortable, playing with En En's toys. Too bad, we forgot to take photos of the 2 boys.
