On the first day of the Chinese New Year holidays, visited the world famous Jurong Bird Park here in Singapore.  Its my second visit.  I love the lush rainforest like feel inside the whole sanctuary.  Most of the birds have a bigger place to fly around and not many of the birds are in cages.  That makes you feel very much in contact with nature.

It rained in the morning and there was a nice breeze.  Couple with the smell of the wet mud and the greens, the place reminds me of Kerala.  Some pictures of the bird park

Its the final week leading into my faviourite times of the year.  Its Christmas time.  I love the feeling.  Wish i was back home to the cold, wintery temperatures of Hyderabad.  Not to forget the warm cakes, appams, chicken stew and other eatables, the christmas trees, the star in front of the house, the singing of carols….

Put up the Christmas tree at home quite early this time.

Happy Holidays :D
