Ahem~ Now that I'm back from Batam. I'm going to continue with my going-to-be-expired posts :D
Thanks to Joshua's mama for the passes. 8 free tickets! I'm able to bring my family/relatives and including XueNi into the Singapore Zoological Gardens for free! Well, except we've got one extra person so we just pay a child ticket which costs $9.
Had breakfast at CCK, Lot 1's McDonald's, before taking bus927 to the zoo. We had to wait very long for the bus to come. Probably not a lot of people go there on a weekday, maybe only tourists.
Anyway, when we reached the zoo, I was right! There wasn't a lot of people there. I was extremely pleased xD Because the previous time I went, it was overcrowded with people. I didn't have to queue up to see the animals or wait behind to take turns to see the animal in the enclosure. Especially if the place was really small, it will be very cramped with all those people in there :\ And also I didn't get to see some of the animals like the elephants and the orangutan. But I did manage to see them this time.
It's a pity that XueNi had forgotten to bring her SD memory card for her big-ass camera. So she had to use her iPhone to take pictures instead. Luckily her iPhone camera isn't that bad, unlike my handphone camera. So This Is It. A picture spam D: Though I didn't take a lot of pictures like the previous trip, unlike my uncle who kept taking pictures of everything :X For me, I didn't want repetitions.
Relatives from my mama's side :D
XueNi and me~
A scarlet macaw :D
Babirusa! xD
White tigers. Pretty cats ;)
And we saw one shitted into the water :\
Pygmy hippos!
Baby pygmy! So cute! :3
WeiQi with the hippos cut-outs.
So much bigger than her! xD
With that, we entered into the "Australian Outback" zone.
Mushrooms I saw O_O!
Chibi grass tree :P
No!~ I do not want to be cratedddd D:
Beautiful sight.
& I didn't know their testicles are that huge :X
Ooh!~ Boobies~~ :P
Ahem... :$
Silly stuns and a heart that doesn't look like one,
beneath a doorway made out of branches xD
Sweet lil' tamarin.
XueNi likes it a lot!
Yay! Finally I got to see elephants :D
& also... to see it shit :\
With my mama :)
My aunt and mama :D
I love cows :D
Especially 6 spotted ones!
Watched Splash! Safari show at the Splash Amphitheatre.
Carlos is such a clever charming seal :D
Lucky monkey D:
Try to spot the frogs at the "SPH Foundation Conservation Centre"
So cute! *pets horned frog statue*
Entering the "Fragile Forest".
Please watch your steps.
This area is very much like an aviary... Well, I do not know the actual name for it but it has animals, insects and birds as well. So you can actually see the animals flying past you and passing by you. It's really cool :)
Pretty sad that due to the rain,
a lot of butterflies like this tree nymph were unable to fly.
AND MY MAMA DON'T LET ME PICK IT UP! :\
It tried to get up but it fell down :(
A bat and a two-toed sloth sharing a fruit :)
Did you see what I saw? :X
Tree nymph caterpillar and pupae!
I love it :O!
A jaguar playing with his toy ball.
Leopard here though.
Do you know how to differentiate between a jaguar and a leopard?
Their spots! Jaguar's spots have spots in them, while a leopard's spots do not have.
AND TO MY DISMAY, THIS HAPPENED AT THE GIRAFFE EXHIBIT! T_T
I was so looking forward to see them...
I didn't see this sign at the entrance when I was going in...
& yay! The library at Lot 1 has all the books from "In the Garden" trilogy.
Time to rest NDS! Reading time~ :D
Final picture: group shot.

Hmm, while we were looking at giant tortoise and porcupines at the "Critters Longhouse" and "Sungei Buaya" area, it began to pour :( Not very heavy but it dampened our mood a little. I mean no one could fully enjoy their excursions in the rain right? Unless it is indoors then I've got nothing to say. We opened our umbrellas and made our way to the "Rainforest Kidzworld" to shelter from the rain. I shared my umbrella with XueNi. Rested at KFC and had a light lunch.
Poor pony. Seems so sad in the rain :(
Cheese fries with no spring onions! xD
Can't wait to see the giraffes! :D
Luckily the rain did stop! :D However, since we are at the zoo... the aftereffects of the rain made the shit of the animals smelled so much stronger than before D: It was suffocating. Anyway, we somehow managed to complete our rest of the journey without fail.

The trip was really fun with my family/relatives + a friend. I'm glad my cousins were able to enjoy themselves at the zoo. As you know, the school excursions to the zoo, they only bring the students to a lecture room and after the lecture, they were brought back to the school :\ How lame is that!
I did get to see some sights I didn't get to see when I was there previously. For example, we managed to see an ostrich shitting... It was damn gross... It came out from its ass like a murky green waterfall :\ Like ew. We didn't see everything as we skipped some monkeys out. THE SINGAPORE ZOO HAS TOO MANY SPECIES OF MONKEYS D: Got tired of seeing so many of them... And also it's weird to see birds in the zoo... There are cassowarys, ostrichs, parrots, penguins and crowned pigeons in the zoo! Hey, what is the Jurong Bird Park for?
And, and, and I'm still disappointed that I didn't get to see my no.1 favourite animal, the giraffe!

Thank you again to Joshua's mama! She made 8 people very happy. Thus the 8 people said their thanks 8 times. And Joshua's mama replied the 8x the "thanks" with 8x the "welcome". That was very cute of her xD Btw, thanks again and sorry for the trouble ^^'''

::8th Oct 09::
Yay! It's the day that I decided to buy the craft materials to start on my Pokémon "props". Yep, it's a wee bit early xP But still... I want to start making it!! :D Met up with XueNi at Parco Bugis at 12.20noon. XueNi wasn't there yet when I've reached, so I went to get bacon & cheese takoyaki! One of my favourite food~ (I think I have takoyaki and meatballs withdrawal sydrome D:)
Anyway... XueNi reached and we made our way down to Art Friend at Bras Basah Complex. Stopped by some other art shop to get some glittery pigment paint thingy for XueNi's dolls. I bought felt cloths and other materials there for my Pokémon "props". Even a styrofoam ball to try turning it into a Pokéball! xD
For the cotton, we made our way down to Plaza Singapura's Spotlight to get it :) And so, my Pokémon "props" materials costed me $16.70.
The materials!! xD
Tried on this white fedora at Spotlight xD
The time was around 3pm then. Still very early!! Because my next appointment was at 6.30pm at central©. There's still lots of time before that! So we decided to... watch a movie! :D Using my complimentary tickets, of course. The movie we decided on was Shorts. Because it was something I have not watched yet and also the timing wise as well. The movie ends at 6.20pm :X It's okay to be late when others will be late too :)
Went walkwalk before the movie. Toy stores at level 7!~ I bought a small keychain plushie at $1 in Toy Outpost. And also I finally got to eat Chippy - British Take Away's fried Mars bars! :D Shared it with XueNi. It was really yummy :P
Bat cat or Cat bat?
@_@
4 fried Mars bars + vanilla ice cream + chocolate syrup!

At 4.35pm, we went in to watch the movie and requested for blankets as well. Their theatres are still as cold as ever!! The movie was fun :D Really original. Cole Black, acted by Devon Gearhart, is so cute!! He looks like an Eurasian version of Hibari, IMO. And I also like his sister's name, Helvetica Black.
I cannot find anymore pictures of him in the movie :(
The rest are him with blonde hair.

Apparently, movies don't actually end on time. Due to credits... :X So we were considered late. Going to have dinner at central©'s Waraku with Sally and my cousin, Jeremy! XueNi couldn't resist the temptation of Waraku so she decided to join us as well :X When we reached Clarke Quay, Sally was late. Jeremy waited for her at the MRT control station, while XueNi and I went to the restaurant to get seats first. Hurray!! Finally I got to eat at my favourite pasta restaurant~ And... Sally and Jeremy were going to treat me dinner as my birthday present :D
Appetizers.
I chose the half and half set. 2 pastas BANZAI! :D
Corn & Butter pasta and Bacon & Vegetables soup pasta.
The bill :X
Now Mr. Botak has parents!! :D
Birthday present from Jeremy and Jorina, my other cousin.

After that, we went to walkwalk around Clarke Quay. I got to explore the pubs and clubs area of it :D I saw a pub called "The Clinic" that uses the concept of a hospital wards! Wheelchairs, drips, partitions that are used in wards and the lights used are... the operation threatre lights! Too bad I didn't manage to take pictures of the pub :X
Jeremy, acting cool :X
Jeremy, acting cool :X
And also... they forced me to buy ice cream from this Turkish ice cream shop. Well, since Jeremy will be paying... I decided to do it. I do felt a bit embarrassed with all the people watching me getting prank on by the ice cream seller :\
He refused to give me the ice cream, kept snatching it out of my hand!!!
Not once... BUT ALOT OF TIMES! D:
Finally ^^'''

From there, we walked to Liang Court and went up to Kinokuniya bookstore. Jeremy bought for me the second book of Harry Potter!! The Chamber of Secrets :D Thank you!!~ He is such a nice cousin~~ :P And we head home after that. All of us took bus195, except Jeremy who took taxi. AND Sally followed me home O_O! Heh. To see my birds, before going back to her own home :)
Now Mr. Botak has parents!! :D

Alison: Literally?
Tom: Well, no, not literally. That's disgusting.
