given that its public holiday today, we decided to give in to YZ's request to visit the SG zoo as part of his 7YO bday celebration (actual day is this sunday though) today!
we've tried our utmost best to reach the zoo early but after the morning hassle, we only reached at around 10am...and the place was super crowded.. @_@
i was thinking if it was a mistake to come here on a public holiday.
luckily, once we were in, the crowd dispersed and it was much more manageable from there.
waiting for papa to get the tickets
my boy is all grown up! he read the map and basically directed us on where to go the whole time.
it was good to see some of the same old animals like the white tiger, Asian elephants, snakes etc.
they are my fav! though the pacing of the white tiger always fazed me out and I just cant stay for too long near its enclosure area.
the polar bear area has been revamped and renovated and it's the first time we are seeing it.
I like inuka's new habitat! much more spacious than before and visitors get to see him in action more clearly.
when we were there, he was very active and swimming in circles non-stop coming to the glass panels and kicking away earning happy gasps and giggles from the crowd.
we even get to see him dived in from the platform into the water a few times!
it is good to see him seemingly active and happy.
happy boys seeing almost all the animals in zoo today
waiting for the Asian elephant show
white rhinos - YR's fav, don't ask me why
cheetah - amazing long limbs
and it's always fun to refresh the general knowledge on how to differentiate between an alligator and a crocodile, or what is the difference in their furs between a cheetah, panther, leopard!
oh, and the young of a kangaroo is a joey!
it was fun learning again with the boys.
we left the zoo at around 3+pm and from there, we zoomed to windowsill café near jalan besar for yummy pies - more like tarts if you ask me.
the lemon with strawberry one is really good!
and from there, I had the sudden craving for frog legs porridge so off we go to geylang for an early dinner.
the dinner was super satisfying but considering KFC for lunch, tarts for tea break and now this for dinner.... i think I need to seriously count my calories from tomorrow onwards again! :(
and that is it for today.
super tiring. i think the boys will snooze before 9 and the adults by 11.. haha.
