This one is from the Jurong Bird Park. It's a pretty nice place to go to just see their variety of birds. Open from 8.30am to 6.00pm daily at the cost of $18 for adults and $12 for children age 3 to 12, you can spend as much time as you like inside. I particularly enjoy the owl exhibit, as it's always nice and cool in there.

The fissured bark of a Fragrea fragrans, also known as Tembusu. It is one of the few species of plants native to Singapore and interestingly, is on the back of the Singaporean 5 dollar note. The particular Fragrea fragrans tree on the note can be seen still alive and well at the Singapore Botanic Gardens.
