Jurong Bird Park

Okay, as said in the earlier post that I'll post about this. Here it is.

The five photographers - me, Minghui, Ryan, Stephen and Alvin - went to Jurong Bird Park to take photos. This was our first time there with our own DSLRs. So we are considered amateurs.

Met Alvin first at Ryan's void deck then went to his house. Ryan just woke up when I called him and got a shock when I told him we are coming to his house now. Lol. But anyway, he let us in, then went to bathe while Alvin and I laze around his room. Left for hougang mrt when he was done.

Then met joined Minghui in the train. Took the train to Dhoby Ghaut, had McDonalds while waiting for Stephen. We took train all the way to Boon Lay then bus to Jurong Bird Park when Stephen came.

Alright, shall stop talking. Pictures up now. Took lots of pictures so I'll only post a few here.

The weather was hot so our first attraction was the penguins where it was so cooling.

This bird always look so angry whenever the camera points at it.

And then we came to this place where it smells like chocolate? Or nutella or milo or whatever chocolately thing. The whole place just smells like that, and who knows what's that. Maybe the bird's shit smells like that? :O

After that we rested for a while, had some snacks and drink then went for the bird show.

The birds were all the big ones like eagles, falcons and vultures.

We went to the owl place after. Inside was totally dark except for some faint ambient light. Had to hold the camera really stably to get a nice picture.

And then a tourist came over and tried to take a picture of this owl but he used flash and I took it at the same time. This owl was shocked! Can see from his expression.

We also did something stupid. See the GIF below. Spammed my camera shutter for quite a lot of frames. D:

The teleporting portal. ^^

We left after that and took train all the way down to Orchard. Ivan joined us.

Had dinner at Carls Jr. then walked along Orchard Road and taking photos.

And there was this Jamaican man who was playing chess along the street to make money through donation to get money to fly back to Jamaica to visit his sick dad. Haha, so many people actually donated. I don't know if it's real or just a scam. He's Jamaica's number one player also. :O

Took this at a junction when everybody was crossing. xD

We went back home soon after a short rest at Mos Burger.
