A Visit To The Zoo
Its a fine day today and thought that it would be great to go to the zoological gardens. Its been quite sometime since our last visit. Sort of miss 'them' actually. Cant blame me, Im an animal lover by nature.
Since it was a last minute planning, there's no time to pack any sandwiches. I just grab whatever tidbits and snacks there is in the cupboard and hurriedly dress myself and the children beore making sure to pack along their raincoats in case it rains. By the time we're ready, the time show its already half past one. Must move faster...
We reached the destination about less than forty five minutes. Since its a school holiday, its quite crowded but we have no trouble finding a parking lot for our Mitsubishi Evo 9. We dont have to queue either to buy the entrance tickets since we are Friends of The Zoo. We have been FOZ since 1999. Just how loyal can we be.
Just upon entering, my stomach starts growling...damn it...so we have no choice but to head straight to the nearest KFC, since that is the nearest available restaurant..suddenly we were greeted by drizzles of rain, which make us more hurriedly to our next stop. Oh man what a start of our journey.
At the restaurant itself, people started flocking in to find seats. Those patrons inside although have finished eating, wouldnt budge their lazy ass due to the rain. No consideration to others at all. Starting to get to my nerves...feeling quite furious now. But luck is with me, the moment a couple stood up from their chair, I sprint to their table...
No way, no say would I give way to others who are also waiting. Its like finders keepers. Hey man, Im already dead hungry, what do you expect. To make matters worse, the queue to the counter is also long, have to wait about 10mins before its my turn to order. At last its my turn. Got everything I want and start eating and enjoying my chicken..original recipe, a whipped potato, coleslaw, popcorn chicken and top it up with Coke..its finger lickin' good..yum yum
But Im not as inconsiderate as other people around there. After finishing my food, we got up and left, in a way to give way to other patrons. Animal lovers are not cruel, they're all kind hearted people.
The drizzling have stopped, luckily. We headed to the reptile exhibit, then followed by one of my favourite animal, the Mandrill. Then there was the chimpanzees, how cute and lovable, always so bubbly. Not forgetting their cousins of course, Ah Mengs. But pity those animals too cos they're all stuck up either in their cage or their exhibit, when its 6 oclock, they have to return inside their 'home'.
By now, we've already covered almost three quarters of the animal exhibit and it have started to drizzle again. Awww...it means we have no choice but to dash to the zoo exit which is about 5 minute walk from where we are.
Luckily, the children didnt make a fuss for us having to leave so soon. They clearly know that the rain will not stop. Till the next visit maybe...after christmas I presume..Anyone wants to join??

lama I tak gi zoo. any changes there?
quite a lot i say..1st of all the entrance charges is raised a bit, well, u shd go n 'view'for urself..
i like the new look...
but to avoid the crowd, go when school reopens, so the children can hv a chance to feed n ride the animals.
i have not brought the kids to zoo yet.... maybe next yr...
hmm.. It sounds great with the new oulook of the zoo,this may be in my next itinerary when I visited Singapore again.
The last time I went there was a couple of years ago. We got free tix, thanx to my mom's company. It was alright. I found the babboon exhibit really interesting - they were wild!!! But we were all laughing at them coz of their red butt. teeheeeeee Then there was another species of monkeys that looked like they wore t-shirts... I think out of all the animals that day, the monkeys were the most active. All the others were sleeping their butts off... I guess that's why they have the Night Safari so we can see the nocturnals in action (and they earn more money...!!).
Glad u were considerate Friends of the Zoo ;)
Very pretty design! Keep up the good work. Thanks.
