Bored Bear
I took this pic in Singapore Zoo. This is a Polar Bear. The environment has been created for him so that he wouldn’t miss home. A glass ice pool has been created for them so that we can see them even when they are underwater.
The Polar Bear is very popular with small children and there were many of them watching the bears. It was a very hot day and the Polar Bear was underwater the whole time I was there. For a few moments that it came up it just kept its back towards the people watching him. He seemed quite bored and disgusted with humans. I kind of understand him…… I mean who likes to be stared at all the time…… “How about some privacy humans???”
The other bears totally refused to come out of the cave that has been created for them. Thankfully for this one! Else I would have no pic to show to you.
Butterflies
I dreamed I was a butterfly,
flitting around in the sky;
then I awoke.
Now I wonder:
Am I a man who dreamt of being a butterfly,
or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man?

Orangutan at Singapore Zoo
A new fashion statement for the Singapore zoo. This really cute Orangutan looked like she was giving the soprano performance of her life. It was so cute. Couldn’t stop going click click click. 😀 😀 😀
East Coast Park, Singapore
“I skate because I can, you watch because you can’t”
This was taken at East Coast Park, Singapore. Roller skaters and cyclists are a familiar sight there…… Also water rafters (will post that another day). Its a nice place where families can go camping on the beach and have a barbeque and do fun things like kite flying making sand castles or hire cycles or go roller skating and water rafting. You can set up your camps and sleep under the stars on the beach at night. Personally I found it a relaxing place.
Walking trails at Fort Siloso
If the path be beautiful, let us not ask where it leads.

Saxophone player
“Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don’t live it, it won’t come out of your horn. They teach you there’s a boundary line to music. But, man, there’s no boundary line to art.
Don’t play the saxophone. Let it play you.”
