Bye 2006, Thanks For The Memories

I bid 2006 goodbye (forget the bad nightmares, relish the good memories, and move on...). Lots of things to think about and lots of plans to commit.

I start this first day of the year with a post showcasing some of the best pictures I've taken last year.

Yellow flowers, picture taken from Singapore Botanical Gardens

Is it a black goose, a black swan, or what? This was also taken inside the Singapore Botanical Gardens

My last December vacation in the Philippines, I've enjoyed celebrating my Mom's birthday along with relatives with Pancit Bihon, some Gardenia bread, and Goldilocks roll cake

Two Filipinas getting cozy with a python. Picture taken in Sentosa

This is a colorful flower tree structure found at the back of Vivo City

Sentosa's marine life aquariums feature many species that are truly unique such as this one which I call Seaweed Seahorse

Colorful lories at Jurong Bird Park

Close encounter with fruit-eating bats (I know they're nocturnal, but these creatures were wide awake and eating away the guava fruits). Picture taken from Singapore Zoo

Also from the Singapore Zoo, a red lory decided to share a sweet nectar meal with some monarch butterflies

I thought this was a pirate ship decked at the back of Vivo City, but no this was a Swedish ship Götheborg (there should be a Happy New Year 2007 greeting somewhere in the picture; quite hidden in view)

Picture taken inside Shangri-la Hotel. Looks like a great advertising picture for the grand hotel

Pelicans. Lots of free (low flying) pelicans inside Jurong Bird Park

I enjoy taking pictures of trees with branches spiking out of the trunk. This was taken while killing time on East Coast beach

I should not forget to take pictures of the legendary Singapore Merlion on Marina bay

I'll take a break from blogging for this week. See you all next week.
