Jurong Falls

1° 19' 5" N, 103° 42' 26" E
"Jurong Falls" is the world's tallest man-made waterfall in an aviary at 30 metres high. It is located in the 'African Waterfall Aviary' at Jurong Bird Park (Singapore). When i was taking this photograph of the waterfall, i've faced difficulty having a good shot because of the many people in the area moving around. During my whole trip there, this is the only time that i've used my tripod. The rest of the time was busy snapping photos on the birds. So i guess if you have no intention of snapping a pictures of the waterfall then you can leave your tripod at home as i really hate bringing tripod around.

2009 Singapore Grand Prix

1° 17' 29.05" N, 103° 51' 50.93" E
This is the second time Singapore is hosting the Formula One night race but its my first time at the race. I won a ticket to view the practice session this year. I was at 'Turn 23' last turn before pit straight. Turn 23 seems a nice spot for photography, with views of the Singapore flyer right infront of me and if you go to the highest seat, you can clear the safety fence for a unblock shot at the racing cars. I was using a 70-200mm lens and later found out that 'hell' the range is not sufficient at 200mm, you would have to wait for the racing cars to get really close to your sitting area before pressing the shutter button and those guys driving the formula one cars are damn fast, i had a hard time focusing on them even in a practice session.

Eagles

Eagles are differentiated from other birds of prey mainly by their larger size, more powerful build, and heavier head and bill. Even the smallest eagles, like the Booted Eagle (which is comparable in size to a Common Buzzard or Red-tailed Hawk), have relatively longer and more evenly broad wings, and more direct, faster flight. Most eagles are larger than any other raptors apart from the vultures.

Macaws

Macaws are small to large, often colourful New World parrots. Of the many different Psittacidae (true parrots) genera. Macaws are native to Mexico, Central America, South America, and formerly the Caribbean. Most species are associated with forest, especially rainforest, but others prefer woodland or savannah-like habitats. Large, dark (usually black) beaks, and relatively hairless, light coloured, medial facial (facial patch) areas distinguish macaws. Sometimes the facial patch is smaller in some species, and limited to a yellow patch around the eyes and a second patch near the base of the beak in the members of the genus Anodorhynchus, or Hyacinth Macaw. A macaw's facial feather pattern is as unique as a fingerprint.

Lories

Lories and lorikeets are small to medium-sized arboreal parrots characterized by their specialized brush-tipped tongues for feeding on nectar and soft fruits. The species form a monophyletic group within the parrot family Psittacidae. Traditionally, they were considered one of the two subfamilies in that family (Loriinae), the other being the subfamily Psittacinae, but new insights show that it is placed in the middle of various other groups. To date, this issue has not been resolved scientifically. They are widely distributed throughout the Australasian region, including south-eastern Asia, Polynesia, Papua New Guinea and Australia, and the majority have very brightly colored plumage.
