Meet Merlion


Another happening weekend on the last week of October. It was a long weekend so the Avengers came out with a plan, to go to Singapore! This was not an unplanned trip, in fact we get ourselves "confuse" for so many times before we confirmed the trip. Lesson to learn is "always speak the truth only". This is not the first time we went to Singapore, I think it's the 4th times in two years time. *break-record*

Not by flight, not by bus, but we drove all the way from KL to Johor, overnight at JB and we depart on the next morning to Singapore. Guess what? I actually met my Uncle at the check point area. The world is so small and I have not met him for two years already. We had a short chat and the Avengers are chasing me like crazy, and somebody got angry with me too. *sob*

Singapore Zoo is quite near from Woodlands and here we are at Singapore Zoo!





Well, the zoo is so big and we really got no idea on where to start. I've heard so many good comments about Singapore Zoo and always wanted to visit them. Everything here is nice!! The animals are so active, we saw the White Handed Gibbon swing from one tree to another. Awesome! The otters can even pose for the camera, so cheeky!! 


One unforgettable experience is to feed Manatee here. With SGD 5, you get a basket of food to feed them. All donations proceed to their conservation fund. I think there are total seven of them if I'm not mistaken. One of them named Valentine, so sweet. They are so huge, and they need to eat up to 300Kg food per day. Can you imagine that? 


Opposite Manatee pool, there are few displays, take photo is one must for us as a tourist here!




After that we continue to their stage show - Rainforest Fight Back.. This is one educational stage show to educate the public on the importance of rainforest. We need to do our part for our tomorrow. If we don't start today?  Imagine if 20 years down the road, there is a possibilities of no forest, no tree in the world. I think this is one scary issue by simply imagining.


It is a super long journey continue on, we spend close to 6 hours at this amazing place. There's tram services also, four main station to cover the route. We did hop on to that, but to see the animals in a closer distance, we just walk, walk, walk, and walk. Awesome.... and hungry! By the time we wanted to sit down and relax, the restaurants here started to close down, thank God Night Safari is just nearby, so we had our lunch+dinner there!

Oooohhh......Kai Kai & Jia Jia!!! I've watched their transportation live webcast from Changi Airport to River Safari, can't wait for their appearance in River Safari soon. Before the actual visit, let's take a photo with them here!


Singapore Zoo and Night Safari is just nearby through a short walking distance. 


Along the way, this is how my funny avengers can be.


So here we are at Night Safari!! It is super hard to spot a seat here and it is so crowded. While finding seats, I spotted one table and one foreign tourist just grab the chair and sit down. Ya, so no manners right? Well, we managed to find another table after that. At 7pm, there's a show here at the stage right in front of the restaurant. So many people flow in and block our view from watching the show. I think they should keep the view exclusively for their dine-in guest instead of allowing non-dine-in public to enter and interrupt that.

Before we leave, one group photo okay?


Have fun!

Let's go to the Zoo!

I've never been to Zoo Negara after staying in KL for three years ++. So since mummy is coming to town, we were thinking of where to go besides all the shopping complexes, and then Zoo Negara popped out in my mind. Me and my bro used to randomly sing "Let's go to the zoo, there's lots of things to do…"! So, let's go!

It was a cloudy Saturday and the weather is just nice for outing! FYI, Zoo Negara did not provide free layout plan but you can purchase it at a minimal charges, which I can't remember how much cause I didn't buy it. :P There are a few zones and we started with the aquarium side as it is the nearest to the AmphitheaterWe did some homework before visiting and understand that there will be an animal show at 11.00am.

They have a few huge Arapaima, the largest fresh water fishes in the world :D

Guess what?! They have Penguins also!!!! First time in my life seeing the real Penguins with my own eyes makes me super excited!

They are all Real! Spot the air-cond on the top left corner.
The excitement follows when they bring out Seal during the Animal Show. It is a *double-thumbs-up* show that must not be missed. They have two shows at 11.00am and 3.00pm daily (3.30pm on Friday). Plan your itinerary before you go.

We spend around 3 hours in the zoo because it is so big...


Hippo "poo-poo" in the pool... yucks!

Active dancing.

Girafah.

This is a Camel.

This is a funny guy! He use a mineral water bottle to take water from the drain and drink it.
He ends up here.
Rhino.
There are lots more like Malayan Tiger, Lion, Bear, Otters, Pony, Zebra and lots more lots more. 
Pay a visit and it is definitely worth it <3
