Birds of Singapore: Singapore has some stunning birds. Head to our Living in Singapore section so you’ll be in the know the next time you spot one! Here are 4 to get you started on your bird watching: 1. Coppersmith Barbet - They didn’t get their name for their copper-coloured heads, but rather because their call sounds like a coppersmith striking a hammer. 2. Asian Glossy Starling - Ever been on Orchard around sunset and heard what feels like millions of birds chirping all at once? Those are starlings. 3. Oriental Pied Hornbill - This large black-and-white bird lives high in tree canopies, mostly on Pulau Ubin and near Changi 4. Black-naped Oriole - Though these are Singapore’s smallest egrets, they make a sound more like a big turkey.

When: 8th of February 2020, early morning hours Where: Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple, 397 Serangoon Road Sri Thendayuthapani Temple, 15 Tank Road More info at expatliving.sg

The Istana, a 106-hectare estate at 35 Orchard Road, is the official residence and workplace of the President of Singapore. (The word istana means “palace” in Malay.) It’s off-limits to sightseers, except for a select few days when the doors are thrown open for the public. In 2020, there are five days when you can visit the Istana: #1 Sunday, 26 January (2nd day of Chinese New Year) #2 Friday, 1 May (Labour Day) #3 Sunday, 24 May (Hari Raya Puasa) #4 Sunday, 26 July (two weeks before National Day) #5 Saturday, 14 November (Deepavali) Entry (8.30am-6pm) is free for Singaporeans and PRs, and $2 for others, with some additional fees for tours and so on. Enter via the main gate on Orchard Road (nearest MRT: Dhoby Ghaut). For info, see istana.gov.sg/VisitAnd-Explore/Istana-Open-House. Istana trivia: • Built between 1867 and 1869. • The grounds include a nine-hole golf course. • For a 360-degree view of the building and gardens, see istana.gov.sg/360- tour.

Chinese New Year is just around the corner.. here are some things to do (and not do!) - Make sure you say “Gong Xi Fa Cai” to wish friends and colleagues a prosperous New Year. - Prepare food before New Year’s Day so that all sharp instruments such as knives and scissors can be put away. This avoids cutting the luck out of the New Year or severing any ties with family and friends. - Refrain from using negative expressions or talking ill of others; it’s a time to promote joy and abundance. - Don’t wash your hair on the first day of the Lunar New Year as hair has the same sound as the word fatt or fa, which means prosperity. Therefore, washing your hair will encourage any wealth and prosperity to be washed away. Clothes should not be washed on this day for the same reason. - Colours are very important to the Chinese. Typically, only bright colours are considered auspicious, especially red and gold. White and black are generally associated with sad occasions such as funerals or illness, and are therefore considered unlucky or inauspicious. - Gifts are not common except for Mandarin oranges, which are mandatory to offer to hosts when visiting during the first 15 days of the Lunar New Year. - Unmarried adults and children receive “Hong Baos” or “Ang Pows” from married family members and friends. These red envelopes are filled with crisp new bills totalling an even amount of money. Odd numbers are not given during the celebrations. - Go to The annual Wan Qing Festival of Spring returns from 1 to 2 February @sysnmh
