Went to Zoo today with @SherminTeo(xiaogalgal), @AmabelYeo(Lovesickpupiee) and @WenJie(Randomboyboy). Was pretty boring at first. With Wen Jie being the only guy(oops...my bad). He lagged behind while the three of us went to look at the exhibits. It was only until we reached the kidz place, where we started to enjoy. I think that's like my favourite place in the entire zoo. It has changed soo much since the last time I've been there. There is a new carousel and new signboards...a gift shop and the KFC is bigger. The water playground looks more fun(we didn't try it out...we're sooo not in that age group anymore). Ate at KFC's. Shermin and Amabel wasting the serviettes...me getting a little sick through the 2nd piece...it's spicy. Made my eyes water and started sneezing. Curses...went to look at a 'kampung house' they had there. Thought the grandmother sitting on the sofa was real. I thought that we actually entered somebody's house...so I told the others that(in chinese), "Somebody lives here, let's go." So was a little embarrassed when I saw that the grandma was actually made of wax...I think...or foam...either way, it look amazingly real. Like seriously. Amabel was fooled to at first. Walked throughout the 'house' learned that some snakes are good swimmers and may find their way into your toilet. Didn't really dare to use the toilet after that...but still... bought a small cup of ben and jerry's chunky monkey ice cream. First time trying the flavour. Still doesn't beat Cherry Garcia. ^^Walked walked walked around...found our way to the new tugboat area. It was like...a small man-made pond. Very shallow...no fishes. Just water..murky water...and two rafts. So the idea was that you get onto one of those rafts and you pull at the rope which will lead you to the other end. Was tiring. Seriously. But didn't do much pulling. Wen Jie did it. HAHAS. Thank YOU! Then he wanted to do 'solo'. He got to the middle of the pond and had no strength. Some kids...like...about 7-8 year olds...about there. Saw him stranded and made use of tht to play. they got on the raft. So Wen Jie hitched a free ride from people younger than him. We laughed laughed and laughed. It was sooo funny to watch. Amabel tried to. But after that, the children didn't want to give up the raft. The pulled Amabel across too. I think she was a little frustrated. She oso wanna 'Solo'. Got tired with the tugboat after awhile. Got some mosquito bites there too. But not much. Spotted new flying-fox playground. Got really excited. We are great flying-fox lovers after all. Spent like almost an hour there. I think. After that...Wen Jie left. Said he was going to John's house...o.o I think it was getting to bored for him...Jia Le luh!! Pangseh-kia...Looked at more exhibits...love the animals. But soles were starting to ache. Camera battery was flat too... Was wanting to feed some animals but we only fed the baboons. Which were a MUST for me. Shermin and Amabel were new to feeding baboons but they soon caught on after I demonstrated to them. ^^ It was so hecking fun!!! One fruit platter was $5. And it was alot of feed. Bananas and carrots. Shermin and I each bought one. Amabel shared with us. Laughed at the baboon which did somersaults to grab our attention and one ancient one jumping up and down to grab our attention too. Soon finished my platter. Gave $5 more to purchase another platter and the zookeeper gave me 2 platters. I was like. O>O is that for me? HAHA. YAy!! That's the good thing. ^^ It's for free. And it's piled high with feed. Handed one to Shermin. Soon finished mine too. The zookeeper looked at our empty platters and gave us 1 more platter full with feed. We were like...major O>O by then. YaY!! THANK YOU LOVELY ZOOKEEPERS!! Walked around some more then headed to exit. Tried to keep myself entertained while waiting for the bus...took a long time. Although I think it was only...5-10 mins. Seemed like a long long time to me...soles were aching!!!! Real bad...leg wasn't really painful but soles...remind me to wear shoes with thicker soles next time...freakish...then came the bus...played taptap with Amabel and Shermin...challenged Lady Gaga's Bad Romance. Shermin won. ^^ Almost beat her though...:P Went to AMKHub to eat that Hokkaido Ice Cream. 1 scoop $1. Was pretty much craving for something cold and liquid by then. Walked around^^saw some AMKsians..which we didn't recognise...o.o went back soon after. Promised our families that we would be home before dinner. Said bye to Amabel. Shermin and I 136-ed home. Accompanied Shermin to Rivervale Mall to buy her dinner. Bought some whiteboard markers while I was there. Old ones were out of ink. Said bye to Shermin. Went home...ate Yoshinoya beef bowl rice for dinner...and here I am now...blogging and complaining about my feet to me mum but thinking about the fun moments we had in the Singapore Zoo today. ^^
Ps. It was the first time Shermin and Amabel met each other!!! I introduced Amabel to Shermin online and they are practically really good friends by now. ^^ Loveee them both!!
