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 ^^'''

Tenting at WCP
Friday, October 02, 2009 @ 5:02 AM
::26th Sept 09::
We have been planning this camping trip for ages xD And finally the day has arrived. Me, together with my RP clique, Shuhua, WeiLeng, Joshua and Moo, went camping for a night at West Coast Park (WCP). I packed my bag at the very last minute. Not much stuffs to bring because only one night. We took bus175 from Clementi Interchange to WCP and met up with Moo there later.
Bag packed :)
Koko, of course, didn't tag along...
Specially painted nails for this occasion xD
Some bread I bought at the bus interchange.
When we reached WCP, the first stop we made was to the playground area, Pyramid Net :) To our dismay, they have removed the top portion of the ropes :( So we could not reach the highest point now... Well, we just climbed it anyway.
Lots of kites up in the skies~
First to reach to the top! :D

Hopping down and off the pyramid, we made our way to the obstacle area. That's when Moo reached and joined us :)
After playing, we decided to head to the designated camping site... to set our tents :D Joshua and Moo brought one each! So we had two tents xD Joshua's tent was really easy to set up. No poles. No nothing what so ever. So it was deemed as the lazy person's tent.
See!! Joshua's tent is already set up!
While Moo's still taking out the poles and such.
All done :)
Smaller tent to put our belongings in.

First thing I did was... to CRAWL INTO THE TENT! :D

The moon~ Very soon it will be full :D

The sun was setting very nicely at the horizon. So we decided to go near the coast and take pictures with and of the gorgeous sunset and skies. But the first thing that greeted us was the rubbish on the beach. Moo had to go back to get Shuhua to come take pictures with us, as she was studying at the campsite.
Ew.
But the view was awesome...
Individual shots!
Bonus picture :\
I looked like some siao za bor...

Went back to the tents to lock up and made our way to the McDonald's to have our dinner. Well, after dinner, we went back to the playground to hang out before going back to the camping site to rest up. As for Shuhua, she stayed behind at McDonald's to study :( I can never be as hardworking as her. NEVER.
Found a May/June beetle on our tent :D
This is what you'll get when you ordered 5 EVMs (Extra Value Meals)
Mixing mayonnaise, curry sauce, BBQ sauce and tomato ketchup
gives you this xD
It tasted ew.... :\
Fell asleep and I received a couple of lovebites from mosquitoes =_=

Went back to camp and lied down on the spreadsheet to look at the stars. Fell asleep there, woke up after ants started biting... :\ I moved into the tent to sleep then. It was really uncomfortable. Sleeping in the tent, that is. So humid. The ground had rocks and stuff. AND I GOT MORE BUG BITES ON ME!!! I don't know whether they were mosquitoes or those black ants. Oh ya, Joshua's nose kept bleeding and Shuhua was falling sick :(
Next morning, we packed up and went to the McDonald's to have our breakfast. I had a super strong urge to eat the Big Breakfast's scrambled eggs. However, I over ate and had to go to the toilet to puke. I puked out some of my eggs in the process :( And after that, we went home :)!!
I showered and went to take a nap from 9.15am to... 7.45pm!! I WASTED MY WHOLE DAY SLEEPING! DAMN! :\
