White tigers, elephants and lions... polar bears too!

Update on my health:
Coughing has decreased, but red eye remains.
Yuck but better than before… the internal vortex is my enemy.

Thursday’s school program was followed by dinner with Marilyn.
Yes, another meal-ing time!
She introduced me to a Japanese place at Bugis Junction.
Good gwad… the food was shiok… the prices hair raising and our ability to spend money fascinating!
The sake was also good~
Heheh… can I say that I conquered sake?
Hmmm… maybe not… I think I took sips…
Keyword: think.

Friday!
I went to the ZOO!!!!
With J Kor in the morning.
Met up with him at AMK hub and took the bus to the Singapore Zoological Gardens.
It’s a lot smaller than I remember it.
Then again, as Yang Mui and J Kor put, “we were a lot smaller back then”.
Yes, agreed.
Saw the tigers, lions, polar bears, monkeys; seals, birds, butterflies and what have you at the zoo.
Many changes I have noticed. There is a more organic feel to the zoo now compared to last time when I was in school uniform running all over the kids’ world with my classmates.
Plenty of lower primary and kindergarten children were there for their learning sessions as well. All the different colors of uniforms and children going two-by-two behind their teachers. Rather adorable. Right until they start shouting. X.xlll
Sadly, due to all the changes, renovations and what not, we did not get to see a lot of the animals coz they were relocated for the span of the upgrading process.

The shows are also interesting, especially the ‘kissing session’! :D
Did I take pictures?
Yeap! I sure did. But not as many as I though I would though, I was very selective with the snaps I let my finger run with. Good thing is that most of the pictures are really nice~
J Kor! Remember to get them from me ya?

The weather was perfect for all that walking and sight seeing, though I think we could have done with less humidity. Then again, it’s a lot better than having rain aye?
We took shelter in the air-con huts a lot. Especially when we went round in circles trying to get to certain areas for the feeding times and to watch the animal shows.

While planning the trip, I scanned through the job opportunities at the zoo. Not bad considering how much they are asking for in the job scope. How much they pay is another thing entirely.
-hysterical laughter-

My favorite animals:
Elephants
White Tigers
Mere cats
Seals

Wonderful photo opportunities!
-does the dance of photography-
LOL~

Wanted to have dinner at AMK hub, but we ended up making our way to White Tangerine for food. Heheh… ordered quite a bit. Very satisfying meal.
Had a great with my J Kor~
Thanks J Kor~!

Next trip:
Night Safari (?)
[have to wait a long time before I go… got a giant hole in my pocket at the moment… it has to be nursed back to health @.@]

So that’s all from me for now… coz I need to go and have my lunch~

Laterz!
^-^
