Singapore Botanical Gardens via new Mrt Circle Line CC19

A hot & sunny day @ a Garden in Sg isn't any normal Singaporeans would want to spend their time at.
No amount of sun-shade can protect your skin from tanning into dark brown.

Nevertheless the trip is worth going as the negative-ions there is superbly in abundance. Making a healthy lifestyle.

Morever, u can see 2 white swans having their meals and toddler feeding ducklings. And people picnic relax n there.

Where else can you find such a lobang in Singapore?

Complete set of photos can be found at my facebook album HERE.

Took a Mrt train to Singapore Botanical Gardens via the new circle line. Drop at CC19 (3 stations from Buona Vista or Bishan).

Breeds of Dogs that required to "shut their mouths"

People can be seen "picnic" at grass patches

Feeding of Ducklings will make them 'unhealthy'?

Ah moh toddler having fun feeding ducklings
I sweat for him as he almost 'drop' into the pond

Your eyes are not seeing things.
These are really 2 White Swans in Singapore near Orchard Rd.

Bicycle Tyre Scratch by Mobile Grass Cutter

Yesterday picked up my bicycle with a punctured tyre.

Got it repaired at a bike shop opposite Marsiling MRT.

The boss told me the skin of the rear tyre had a "mini scratch",
so he didn't dare to pump in too much air in case the tyre 'burst'.

He explained to me that it is the work of the grass cutter when we park our bicyle too near to the metal railings. Just take note.

Initailly I thought it was the work of the wild cat who does its daily hand-scratching exercising on the rubber, now the cat is out of the bag! :D

QUOTE from YG Blog :

"... these days, when cutting grass on the slopes or even on big open fields, most contract grasscutters use a petrol-operated machine, strapped to the back, that comes with disposable plastic bands at the cutting end ... even though the cutting is done with a plastic band, there is still the likelihood of someone getting hurt if one gets too close to the grass-cutter. from my experience, whenever the grass-cutter notices a pedestrian approaching, he will stop cutting for the moment. also, every one of them carries a board at the back which says ' danger! keep clear!'...."
