Green Nirvana or White Elephant

the tanglin entrance
you actually have to pay an entrance fee to see a few orchids.
but i guess its the major attraction there.
vanda miss joaqium. the national flower.
i thought it should look more appealing.. the only unusual thing is the height. oh wells..
shaw foundation symphony stage. surrounded by a lily pond.
personal fav out of the exhibits.
ever been inside a waterfall? .. although this one's manmade.
swan lake. nice and quiet. and isolated.
like the tall trees! but i felt that they didnt put enough emphasis on introducing the various species. the signboards were really just boards.
thats the singapore botanic gardens for you!
there were much more greenery than flora (and fauna was mia).. expected to see alot of flowers in bloom. apparently there were less than a handful. just an over rated park. but there were still quite a number of tourists, exercising individuals and families.
saw pple taking wedding photos there, would be a nice setting....
great place for a picnic too!
think i should try the newly opened HortPark. and the keppel bridge!
and.. it's monday again. :(
