In the past, we have seen Roe Deer, foxes and of course different birds although mainly the water fowl – usually the Mute Swan, seagulls, Mallard and a small family of Great Cormorants. Occasionally we see the Great crested Grebe and Tuft Ducks and that’s about it.

Birds & Butterflies of Scotland
Beside the birds in the zoo and bird parks, we saw many wild birds on top of the countless sea gulls and ducks. Here are some of those that I managed to take a picture of. A magpie. They are supposed to be pretty common but I only saw them in a few places. Another… Continue reading Birds & Butterflies of Scotland
Edinburgh Zoo, Scotland
Our last main stop before we move over to London was to the Edinburgh Zoo. It seems we must make a pit stop at a zoo in every major place that we visit. There are quite of marine park and zoo in Scotland but Edinburgh is one of the bigger and better zoo in UK… Continue reading Edinburgh Zoo, Scotland
Edinburgh
Edinburgh has got to be the most boring place so far in our visit to Scotland. Other than Arthur’s Seat, there wasn’t really much to see. The famed Royal Mile is just a stretch of old restored buildings that caters mainly to tourist selling food and tourist trinkets much like our restored Chinatown back in… Continue reading Edinburgh

The trip to the Isle of Mull was an adventure by itself… Continue reading Isle of Mull, Scotland
Stirling Castle, Scotland
After finding out from the Visitor Centre at Loch Lomond that there was a castle “nearby”, we decided to visit it. But the Scots has a very strange sense of distance. Nearby was actually more than an hour drive away! But we got to see our very first castle so I guess it was worth… Continue reading Stirling Castle, Scotland
Loch Lomond, Scotland
The most famous place in Scotland is probable Loch Ness, home of the mythical Lock Ness Monster. Naturally that was on our must visit list until all the locals we spoke to told us not to waste our time travelling there. So in the end, instead of Loch Ness, we ended up at Loch Lomond.… Continue reading Loch Lomond, Scotland
Glasgow, Scotland
What is there to see in Glasgow? To be honest nothing much. Just lots and lots of old building. From Victorian era apartments to Gothic style buildings that resemble castles and palaces. And most of them look alike like those in those photos. An office building in Buchanan Street A shopping complex in Glasgow Town… Continue reading Glasgow, Scotland
The Vocal Majority vs the Silent Minority
It would appear that the whole Singapore is unhappy with the policy on CPF, the transport system and generally everything about the PAP government judging from the numerous rantings on social media. And practically every social political web pages are anti-PAP. So it would seems that way doesn’t it? Likewise in Hongkong. Judging from the… Continue reading The Vocal Majority vs the Silent Minority
