Red tip bird-like flower.

I managed to capture the fruit of this plant. Looks like rose bud though.

Saw this plant in the temple of Long San Shi.
Found research scientific name : Zamioculcas zamiiifolia.
Indonesian called it Cucak rowo?
Sounds like a bird name.
But believe it or not every new shoot or buds are in the shape of a green birdie, when it wither it looks like yellow birdie.
So cute and the bird-bud looks like hidding in the green leaves.
It seems have other name as well devil’s backbone.

It is the family of Zamioculcas.*金钱树* But with exotic bird-like buds.

Illuma’s link

Today i had my feet on Illuma’s link bridge from Bugis Junction to Illuma.

First walk from Bugis Junction.

Walking upwards there is the escalator… Going up, in the link there are shops just like clifford pier’s link way… Too bad gone are the shops in the Clifford pier link bridge. *i remembered there was a very old watch and antique shop. So interesting.. wonder where the shop goes to.

There i saw Fashion pal on the left, on right further there seems to be a beauty shop with korean’s brand…. Another left side i saw Dermonde * a Korean skincare brand seems to start up with a Korean lady boss who settled here….

Next to her shop there is a 10 dollar watch shop….The Myanmar / Vietnamese staff there very friendly and approachable… Oh there is a shoe shop name IM@ge.
