Zoo Date

It's official: I want a sea lion, an orangutan and a giraffe as pets! haha. I just had an 8-hour cardio yesterday at the zoo! Never rode a single tram. Imagine. I think my legs died! Anyway, it brought out the child in me again! It was hubby's company outing and we just tagged along but we came earlier, and they left early too, so most of the time, just me and Simone.

If you're planning to go to the zoo, make sure to 1.) come early (by that I mean opening time at 8:30am), 2.) Plan your itinerary well. My $22 (booked online) was all worth it! I want to interact with them up close and personal, plus a photo:D. It is best to follow their feeding trail guide + shows. You may check their website at Singapore Zoo, download their app (used this a lot!), and get a map once you're there. They have three feeding trail schedules, but I only managed to feed the giraffe. Tragic. Haha.  p.s. please excuse my messy hair and clothes;p

Simone clung to me like a monkey;p

I bet she's scared of its huge black tongue!

He licked my hand too. Great experience!

I wish the guy had shot at least half of the giraffe's body! haha. Anyway, nonetheless, it was good.

I was about to be handed a basket of food for the elephant feeding ($5) but all I had was a $50 note and she said she can't give change. sad. Feeding happens after the show.

There's also an elephant ride located near Ah Meng restaurant, but it was already sold out when we queued :(

Went to the orangutan feeding, but it was them eating by themselves and you can have your photo taken while they're munchin'. I freaking love these creatures!!! They were all over the free range orangutan island and boardwalk.

They look bored, don't they?

We managed to watch 3 out of 4 shows (I forgot to go to the Animal Friends show demn) so it was great.

Splash Safari was the best! Sea lions are super smart. I have 5 videos of this sea lion. Fun part is the splashing!

While waiting for the show to start.

Elephants at work and play show was nice (pictures above), and Rainforest fights back show had pretty cool animals.

We went to the water park too! Simone is an unstoppable party animal ;p

Simone's First National Day ;p

Impromptu again! I just thought that it's better for Simone to see the fireworks live than on TV (although she has seen fireworks in Manila). Searched for the best possible location--away from the crowd. The Lawn at Marina Bay Link was just perfect. There were families loaded with picnic mats! A LOT of kids! And dogs too! I was drooling when I saw a family eating 2 boxes of pizza. I felt sad, wishing my family was here too.

I did not cover the parade much, I just want us to have this experience out and about. I wish I had brought her scooter and her bubbles. But my hands were already full.

Oh, and check out Simone's first project in school. ;p

So busy checking other people's picnic!

Cutesies!!! 

When she hears a dog bark, she will go to it. 

And more dogs.

Keesh.

Those teeth<3

Yo.

Apai! (High 5)

Ecstatic to see balloons in the sky.

"Pizza please?"

Doodling while waiting.

Ran over there when she saw the colorful smoke.

Only decent photo of fireworks I took!

Going home was not a problem at all. I thought we were going to be smacked with people in the MRT but no, the security did a great job controlling the human traffic! haha. 

Super tired and sleepy mama.
