Henderson Waves, Forest Walk and Alexandra Arch

HarbourFront MRT > EXIT 'D' > Walk up trail to Mt Faber > Henderson Waves > Forest Walk ( TTW like but this one is much longer easier and no vertical steps .. ) Will leave the canopy walk to some other time.


On the bridge i looked at waves after waves of tiny white furry 'air-borne' pulai seeds flying through the air.
the orange fruits of woody climber Fibraurea tinctoria caught my attention
I spotted the passion fruit petals among the green leaves and vine of Fibraurea tinctoria.
A close-up of the Passiflora laurifolia flower is shown above
Simpoh , Dillenia suffruticosa common flowers

TTW again






It was 10 :30am and inches above the undergrowth
i spotted this heart-shaped little leaf
'sweating' out water droplets.

' Two-Piece-Suit' and hung by a thread -
this insect larva (?) found two leaf fragments
as the perfect build material


Keep Walking ...unraveling..

Sim Lim Square- Canal - Line & Hook Fishing and a giant Cooler

Bigger fishes are found at this end but they never bother with the earthworm.. too smart?

Another one take the bait
Underside look of the fish. Uncle uses two lines each hooked with earthworm baits.
The Common Tilapia( not native), Sepat Jepun - no wonder i was told this is a Japanese fish.

My Ferris Wheel in my PC
After having a hot cpu for months! ( Bios readout is 80 C ) I decided to cool it so a searched in the net found this all pure copper beauty - Zalman ( Korean) CNPS9500 LED CPU cooler. ($149) for my P4 3.4GHz socket 775 motherb'd. It works wonder and silent - now max cpu temp kept at below 55C
