When you're in Singapore, I hope you find time to visit the Jurong Bird Park or go the the Night Safari. I've been to both and both are well worth the trip. As the name implies, you'll see lots of birds at Jurong (hahahaha). But what I liked about the park is that you get to really interact with the birds too. They hold several programs at their amphitheaters and they usually ask the audience to participate. Going around the park, you may chance upon areas where birds are fed. For S$5.00 (or was it S$2.00?) they will give you a small cup of worms. You hold out your hand and the birds will just come swooping down on the cup. (That's my hand in the photo!)

Afterwards you can go on the night safari. They have several animals in captivity and they've divided them according to location (those found in africa, in the rain forests, etc). The tour is only held at night, and to illuminate the area, they've placed lights with wattage so low (and so cool) the whole place looks like it's bathed in moonlight. Unfortunately, I can't add photos cuz flash photography is not allowed.

ALSO, if you will go to Sentosa (go up the Merlion), drop by Siloso beach. It's singapore's man-made beach (if i'm not mistaken) and have your photo taken at the Siloso beach sculpture.

(incidentally, free shuttle service to specific drop off points along orchard, and back to the hotel are avaiilable. just ask the concierge for the pick up schedule). ENJOY!! :)
