we went to the zoo on darius's actual birthday. stay up the night before to plan an itinerary for the zoo trip. been years since both dear and i went to the zoo! morning woke up at around 8am. bath & then set off to kfc to buy breakfast for us. at kfc and remembered that ive not done the red eggs for him. went home and start to boil 2 eggs. dearest baobei haven wake up yet. decide to disturb him and went to sayang him & said, baobei, let's go gai gai. magic word - gai gai. he woke up immediately. after lazing around on the bed for awhile he woke up & had the AM porridge from KFC, bath while we had breakfast and did some last minute packing.
supposed to start the trip at 8.45am so that we will be able to reach the zoo by 9.15am to catch the elephant bath. but bcos the prince slept in late hence we only reach at 9.30am. took cab down as it was pretty near. cab fare $7+. can only say, most of the zoo are different kind of monkeys-breed. see them see till sian >.<
went to watch the splash show follow by the elephant show. after the elephant show they allow you to feed the elephants. so i asked darius if he wan to feed the elephants as he keep saying baobao during the show. wanna hug the elephants. he said yes & so we bought a basket. end up he's afraid of the elephant and just dump the fruits before the elephant could get and i ended up being the one feeding them.
follow thru the trail and took the boat ride to rainforest kidsworld. had our lunch follow by darius playing in the water playground. he have lotsa fun with the kids around. struggling to pull him off the water, changed and got into the horse carriage ride. back to kidsworld nursing room, darius had his milk and napped. we napped too. LOL. 1.5hrs in the nursing room, leg and arms numb. wash up after he woke up & continue walking from rainforest back to the entrance. by then it's already 5.50pm.
thought that we won't be able to complete the whole zoo in a day but we did it! of cuz we miss a few attractions here & there. a bit disappointed bcos there's nothing much to see & that a lot of changes, like not as many pigeons as before etc. hope that after the reno is done in yr 2012, it will be much better. think i wont be going back again till next yr!
