UNESCO gardens

I adore the botanic gardens although I visit Gardens By the Bay (GBB) more frequently. The place holds a lot of memories for my family and I and the nation as a whole. I am thrilled that it has been made a UNESCO world heritage site. Who knew it had so much history hidden in plain sight? I had no clue and I visited the place since before I can remember.

The Singapore Botanic Gardens became a UNESCO world Heritage site on the 4th of July 2015 by a unanimous vote.


This is just to remember. 

Congrats Singapore!

Fort canning

I dropped by Fort Canning after visiting the national museum. This is one of the best parks to find squirrels. You can literally hear them around you. You might mistake their sounds for birds but after a while you catch one. This is one of my favourite parks. The forbidden hill it used to be called, home to the Kings of Singapore in the 14th century. The place is filled with history and wildlife. Can you possible combine two things that fascinate me any better? I should visit more often.

 See, I told you there were squirrels. I am not sure what this one is eating though
 I am waiting for the otters to come eat these too.
 Another squirrel!
The only creature which is not a welcome sight in the park, the parking Uncle.

By the way, that's not my car or I won't be taking the photo

Not in my guidebook!

Somehow, it never occurred to me that this could happen but today, it did. I came across a butterfly not in my butterfly guidebook. My trust...
