A day at the Zoo!!

We finally managed to go down to the zoo on 19th June. We were supposed to go down on Shaun's birthday itself, but the weather man says not. So the outing was pushed back till then. We woke up to a sunny morning, and the weather-man announces that there will only be light showers in the late afternoon! So off we go to the Zoo!!

Finally reached the Zoo!!

Since we reached the zoo around 10 plus, we bought KFC before going in, thinking that we'll eat nearer to noon. But who knows, we've got not enough hands, lugging a bag of food, zoo maps, camera and what nots. Hence we went to look for a bench to finish up our food, to free up our hands.

Our little "romantic" lunch, which was uber stressful for me. Coz there was a little monkey which was staring at us eat, and I was so scared he'll come down from the tree and grab my burger or something. Little rascal he is, smacking his lips every now and then when looking at us.

Cute bins with coats of the animals.

One of the first animals we saw there: binturongs.

They were all cuddled together in the morning sun!

Racoon like creatures climbing all over the little hut.

The prosboscis monkey. Look at the sitting postures!!

Inuka the polar bear. We went to see the feeding, and it was so cute! Chomping down half a watermelon, and "talking to the birds". It was having a rather lazy day as the weather was rather hot for them.

Penguin!! Uber cute. And the baby likes it too!

One of the nicer pics of me. Haha..

Sleepy white tigers. The only thing that is moving is their tails, swishing away the flies.

One thing really cool is that there are braille! The blind can then "see" how a tiger looks like by touching it. But why only white tigers have?? Or did I miss the rest??

Don't be fooled by the beauty of this tree. When the wind blows, the cottony flowers will drop all over and cause breathing difficulties.

At the OrangUtan area, we saw some action going on. The female look really reluctant though!! Haha. Hmmm... Guess we are expecting more baby OrangUtans?? Heh. There are zookeepers keeping a lookout for them too!

These mini monkeys are uber cute, and they are everywhere!! They know how to pose for the camera, and take turns to be in the limelight too!

Kangaroo area! So now I know what a Wombat looks like! So pudgy and cute! The pic in the middle is the size of the kangaroo's shoes (if they wear shoes).

I forgot what area was this. Anyway this duck-bird was standing on the ledge, totally fearless of humans. It stood there for the longest time, checking out all of us with it's beady eye. It even went to show us that it can stand on one leg! Haha...

Crocodiles!!

Animals in the animal world. Didn't manage to go to the play area, coz we were abit lost after awhile. The map that was given to us was a new proposed one. So we were wandering in circles looking for the SunBear, which was found finally at the end of our day.

Pot-bellied pigs which weren't so pot-bellied after all.

I thought this sign was rather funny. So do SFI take them back when they are grown?!?! Hmmm....

Shaun is the happiest here, and no, the cats here don't respond to that clicking sounds you make. =))

Butterflies!! Lots and lots of them!


And my favourite one of all. When it spread it's wings, you can see the deepest turqoise blue you've ever seen. Can't capture a pic of that coz can only see the blue colour when it is flying.

This is what i call a zebra crossing!

Finally a nice shot of both of us.

After a very long walk, and several enquiries to the zookeepers. We finally found the SunBears. But they weren't lying in the sun enjoying honey by tilting the head back. They were having this friendly tussle in the "cave" Becoz 1st: i's late afternoon le (abt 4pm); and 2nd: there's no more honey dripping down from this pot. Hmmm....

After that, we went to the souvenir shop to check out the toys there. Din buy any coz no more meso!!

Baby polar bears!!

Ligator!! Looks like the one from Maple.

One of my favourite pic. With Pepe and Pepe Jr.

And Shaun, with the Seal.

We then took 138 to AMK Hub to have our dinner. We managed to catch a glimpse of SuQi, coz she was there for the movie premiere of "My wife's a gangster" or something like that. And I only caught a glimpse of her back! After standing for almost 2hours waiting for her to appear! Haha. But it was quite an experience. Everybody just turned and walked away after she went into the lift.

The day ended with a bus ride home. Another fun-filled day with Shaun. If only everyday was like that. No worries, and only laughters and smiles, and an occasional confusion. Only 18 more days in Singapore before I fly down under. Not enough time....
