After having FUN at IMM, we were disusing where to go the next day, hoping to have more fun ahead. Once all of us reach home, we go online and disusing where to head tomorrow.
Few places that we have suggested: Treetop Botanic Garden Zoo
End up we decided ZOO!why to zoo? Cause none of us can clearly remember when is our last visit there.
PLAN: meet up at BOON LAY,9AM. Breakfast. Zoo.
At around 8.10am, I received a SMS from xiao qing saying that she is not going cause she can't wake up. Then I don't know what to do. To cancel or not? So I ask Wan Hao to disturb her and make her wake up. Lucky she can wake up can meet us at CCK.
On the train, I can see that most of us brought their sleepy eyes to the zoo. As who will wake up at 8+ during the holidays and most of us slept at 2,3 or 4 AM! Anyway, we still make it to the ZOO.
After we alight, there was a zoo keeper who board the same bus as us. Since none of us know the way to the entrance, we followed her till we saw that tickets office. Upon reaching, I guess most of us were trying to have some flesh back on where is this place and what should it be in the past.
All of us got our tickets at $16.30 which I think is of reasonable price. Oh by the way, I have a book which I got it like 10 years ago on SINGAPORE OFFICIAL GUIDE, according to this book, the price of the zoo ticket was $10.30. Which means, over the past 10 years, it have INCREASED $6!
My ticket to the zoo...
After a few steps into the zoo, we were asked to take a group photo by the zoo keeper. They said that it is a MUST to take. I hand my camera over to one of the zoo keeper and I have this photo taken by them. They themselves also have a camera with them and snap like 4 shoots of us. They wants to cheat us for buying photo from them which was fucking expensive. Lucky I have a copy of us in the camera.
I behaved like I never been to zoo and was spotting every animal wherever I go to. Once I stepped in, I spotted COTTON MONKEY and STINGRAY.
Then we saw these parrots. Again there was 2 zoo keepers standing over that with a camera. We had another group photo by them as well. Xiao Qing was funny as she was scared of getting close to these animals. Since she was scared and influenced us that yes the parrots are scary, later they will attack us. Since Theck Sheng is a animal lover, I asked him to stand closer to the parrots then we follow up. So the picture look like he was standing much further away from us.
We followed the map and walked to the TREETOPS TRAIL. In this tresstops trail, there are 2 animals to be spotted ans YES we managed to spot them. SIAMANG AND FALSE GAVIAL.
Picture of FALSE GAVIAL is uploaded but not SIAMANG. Picture of SIAMANG was not nice and it too dark.
The next animal we should spot was Otter. We manage to do so. A step closer to the place of Otter, it fucking smelly. Totally pungent smell! But they are CUTE. They way they behave, can tell that they are loving one another, just like US, mother and child. Frankly speaking, I din know that they can swim until I saw them swimming.
Photo of us with Otters' House. Most of the group photos, Theck sheng is not in as he was holding the camera throughout the whole trip.
The next 2 animals we should spot will be TAPIR AND BABIRUSA. Unfortunately, they hide so well that we can't spot them.
Photos taken on the way to meet WHITE TIGER. At this point of time, I started to have the FEEL. I don't know how to explain the feel that I have. Can say that I started to get HIGH in the zoo!?
Alright, this was how I behaved: Oi, theck sheng help me take picture of me and this animal. Eh, I want take picture here with this this this...
Normally, he will say cannot take la.... too dark.... cannot see....
Then I will say: NEVER MIND LA! Just take. The lighting all these can EDIT ONE. JUST TAKE LA!
I will then start to ask the rest to take pictures with me.
This explained why I end up with 600 over photos, which make this entry to be the longest so far.155 photos in this entry!
Photos of US with the environment.
To take this photo: Theck sheng... I want take picture with this waterfall with me squatting on the stone.
Aiyo, you like that you also want to take. Some more you Singaporean leh. All also want to take. But I don't care what he said.
I just continue saying: I WANT TO TAKE... I WANT TO TAKE.
The conversation with theck sheng was like he is the parent and I'm the child. I keep pester him for a toy or something else that I want.
Then I drag Xiao Qing along.
I run there quickly and said: FASTER COME... CAN TAKE PICTURE HERE!!!
I end up bringing memorable photos home.
The plant that I have a second look on it.
Finally, after the draggy walk way to the WHITE TIGER due to the delay of taking photos here and there. SINGAPORE ZOO only have 3 WHITE TIGER and yet they also advertise their WHITE TIGER to public. Spent quite some time there to see them changing pose/movement.
Next animal to be spotted was PYGMY HIPPO. We have spotted them. Photo taken with their backside facing us and fishes are eating their backside. I don't Know why. No photo to show as it turn out to be unclear.
The next animal to be spotted was WARTHOG. Nothing amazing about them. They just sat down and eating their grass. Kind of, boring animal.
Next, we were heading to the AUSTRALIAN OUTBACK. Before we reached there, we came across window display of those cold-blooded animals.
SNAKE and LIZARD.
AUSTRALIAN OUTBACK. 2 animals were spotted. KANGAROO and EMU.
Photos of us with the lorry displayed there.
Before we can see the kangaroo, Lin Min they all were sitted on this lorry? I joined them.
Theck sheng will have to take photo of us.
At first, we were all sitted at the back of the lorry. Later, I saw there was a seat to be the driver. I sat there to be the driver and at the same time, playing with the stirring wheel.
Then the Kangaroos.
Photos of us with the Kangaroos.
The same old thing happened again. I pester theck sheng to take picture of us together with the kangaroos.
On the way to another place. BYEBYE kangaroos.
This was the size of box for caging the kangaroo to transport country to country. We ask the skinny guy to go IN!
DIRECTION BOARD IN ZOO
Photo taken on the way to meet Hamadryas Baboon
HAMADRYAS BABOON Of all the animals there, I like Hamadry Baboon the most. I have uploaded a lot of photos on them.Reminds me of the MONKEY GOD. I like those small small babies. Their mother usually hold on to their tail to make sure that they can't run about. This was the place where we had spent the longest time at and that gave opportunities for those mosquito to bite us.
I asked theck sheng to take a lot of picture of me and the monkey. He get irritated! Most of the pictures turned out to be too dark.
Their bird bird is RED!
Cover first. Later then show you.
Next we spotted this! It cute.
Photo taken with Hamadryas Baboons' House.
Photos taken on the way to meet the Elephants of Asia.
Lots of mosqitos bite, ITCHY!
Most of us were bitten by the mosqitos.Comparing who has the MOST BITES.
Went to the toilet before meeting the elephants, to wash our legs and arms. I like their toilet's design, look like those people in the past who used wood to cover themselves.
I went to the Primate Kingdom with theck sheng first while waiting for the rest. Suppose to have monkeys but I saw some only.
And this photo... Don't I look a child pestering for a toy? Kicking and crying for it at shopping mall where we normally see?
But, I'm not doing it for a toy. I don't remember what I grumbled.
ELEPHANTS OF ASIA We reached there with the welcome of small elephants statue. Nothing amazing on elephants as all the images of elephants have already been build into our brain.
As there were lots of hut, we use this opportunity to have a short break. Most of our legs were aching. We wanted to rest longer there but there wasn't much time left as we might not visit all the animals in time.
Photos taken with Elephant's House
Acting to look into the map,look for the next station to go! We were heading to Splash Amphitheatre to spot 3 animals. Manatee,Sealion and Penguin.

Rainforest Flights Back Show This show is nothing fantastic, bluffing small kids only. Went onto the stage and have a picture with them as well as the snake. Only after 18 years of living, I finally have a touch on the snake and carried it. It very heavy and is not the icy cold type of temperture on the body but just a little bit cooler on therir body.
I'm too engross with the snake and din look into the camera! All of us are new on going to the stage and have picture taken with them!
After that show, we watched another show called Splash Safari show. The main actor was the sealion splashing water and performing some tricks which nothing big deal to me. BORE. No picture taken!
Next station, Island Free Ranginf Orang Utan. Spotted 2. 1young and 1 old. Their facial expression was very sad, feels like they have lost their freedom in the cage. SAD. They are HUGE in SIZE! No photos taken.
