interpretation of signs

goodmorningyesterday blogged about the many signs found in our nature park in this posting. most of us will not have much problem understanding the signs because the captions that accompany them are in english.

however, for visitors and foreigners who do not understand english, the signs are open to different intepretations depending on their experiences and their imagination.

these are two interpretations of the above sign:

(1) a bird in hand is worth two in the bush.

(2) don't squeeze the bird so hard till it hurts.

some people may think that this sign says:

(1) don't offer your banana to the monkey.

(2) don't tempt the monkey with bananas.

(3) don't peel the banana for the monkey, it can do it very well itself.


i came across this sign in one of our nature reserves. it comes without any caption. so, what do you think is the intended message in this sign?

chinese new year is on the way ....

when you see this...

or this ....

or this...

or this...

or this .....

or this...

or this...

or this...

or this...

or a whole lot of discarded furniture and household stuff, like fish tanks, hamster cages, ironing boards and potted plants at the main rubbish bin area.

a not so common sign

following chun see's blog on a sign city, here is a sign quiz.

sighted this sign in one of our nature reserves. but it is not one of those common ones. thought it looks like the chinese character 'chong', as in 'hong chong'.

where - which nature reserve - can you find this sign?

to which group of users is it directed/targeted?
