we went to see the baboons, and it was at the enclosed glass panel where we saw them that me and yl got a lot of mosquito bites. aiyo.
then we went to see the elephants, and ate choco pies winn gave us. the choco pies reminded us of that time when winn was at ml's house and she started coughing non-stop after taking a bite of this, and ml was like, "you must finish it!" haha. oh well, then we went to the splash amphitheatre to watch the sea lion show. the sea lion is so cute! he is Philip. =) he could kiss people, act shy, shake your hand, splash water at the audience(lol) and hit the high ball the zookeeper was holding. kawaii sea lion.
after that we wanted to go watch the elephant show, but there were too many people and no seats, so we decided to come for the next show in the afternoon. i managed to see my penguins! yay~they are so cute..but sadly they are not in some air-con place where we could sit and look at them and enjoy the air-con. they are actually in open-air. apparently not all penguins need the temperature of the north pole. they are African penguins. and there are even penguins that live at the Equator! cool right.
we went to see the orang-utans, and since it was open-air yl was afraid the orang-utans will start attacking her or something. haiz.
we wanted to see the sun bear, but i think it hid itself so we can't see anything. the giant tortoise is so big! it looks like a big, bulky rock. haha.
oh well. then we saw the lion feeding, but the lions are all so sian and uninterested in the food the zookeepers gave to them. i found out that they actually sleep 20 hours a day! no wonder they have no appetite. and i think they rather eat humans. haha. also, the giraffes are right opposite their dens! i bet everyday they are thinking of jumping over and eating them. =P yl was all enthusiastic about the lions, and when i show no interest in taking the picture of the lion behind the glass panel which was probably thinking, "humans! yum yum!", yl started saying, " by, take picture." so i have to take. haiz.
then we managed to see the ostrichs, zebras and the cheetah. although there is a glass panel between us, when the cheetah came close i still stepped back. it was scary. we went to look at the snakes too. apparently yl was afraid of them. well, there is this place there where we could be close to the snakes. it's called scaly encounters. but it's not scary at all..there is this cute animal with a real long tail and a few other animals. but yl refused to go in, so me and winn went in.
we went to the fragile forest too, where there are butterflies, blue birds, bats, etc and we were in close range with the animals. actually it is quite fun to go inside. except for the butterflies. and the blue birds. haha. because the birds just walked on the paths like humans are nothing. i spotted one behind yl and when i told her, she freaked out and we started running. lol. there are even long chains at the door to prevent the butterflies from escaping. there is a fake buttress root at the exhibition part, and we could even crawl inside(yes, the buttress root) and look at the specimens of the insects. winn told me she decided not to have a tree-house now. haha.
we went back to look at the elephant show. it is so cool! the elephants are very tame, and they entertained us a lot. me and yl managed to catch an elephant shitting. lol..the shit is green. hmm..after the show winn went to feed them. it's $5 for a basket of bananas. it is so cool.
oh yes, before that we went to kfc at the children's world to eat something, and there is this place where there are many plastic balls and you can dive in and play in them. so fun. we can't play because we are over-aged. being old doesn't help. well, when we were walking back to see the elephant show, we were stopped from walking further because some animal escaped. i don't know what, but on the bus i heard a few people talking about it, and i think the hunting dogs escaped. well, nevermind, they are only dogs. =P oh man, i missed out on the polar bears. sorry. okay, so winn wanted to see the polar bears, so we went to see them when it was their feeding time. sheba is the mother while inuka is the son. the zookeeper threw a frozen watermelon and a fish for him to eat. the crushing of the watermelon is disgusting..inuka's mouth looks bloody. erm. okay, the polar bears also have an air-con den! so good right? me wants air-con.
before going back, we went to see the white tigers again. me and yl managed to identify winnie(the tiger, i mean) so winn started being high while both of us sat down to rest. then we went to the souvenir shop. there is place where it was all dark, because the shirts sold there can glow. due to the fact that they are white. because i wore white and i can glow. my shirt, i mean. so it's cool.
