Singapore Zoological Gardens... [2nd jan]

.

First visit to the zoo this year... which was rather obvious since only one day of 2009 had passed since then.. =D getting there was a real problem for me... aside from the fact that our bus fares were exceedingly high now.. mandai is one area that I'm extremely unfamiliar with... I took bus 927 from Choa Chu Kang MRT... only to realize that it went back to somewhere near upper bukit timah which was actually very NEAR where I am staying! Haha.. I ended up being late!!! and I didn't exactly know where to alight.. so I kind of predicted that most pple in the bus should be going to the zoo.. and thankfully I was right! =D

.

It was raining... sad... but luckily we all brought umbrellas and the sky decided to be kind to us just after a while.. the zoo hadn't changed much since my last visit last year.. except maybe the white tigers looked a little more tame now.. come to think of it... It was really funny coz we are always taking pictures with fake animals there - they're much easier to access than the REAL ones.. the kangaroos were so lazy... I didn't even get to see any of them jump... or hop... and the giraffes appear a little short to Jess.. the leopard is sleeping.. Man!! it seems that the gene pool is getting weaker when we keep animals locked up like that... some really had very little space to move in... quite sad rite...

.

Although I believe that the animals are being treated well in the zoo.. but locking them up in the zoo just for us humans to see may be a little cruel.. they should be out there in the wild... surviving with their own instincts.. how is it going to be like if it was the other way round? locking up humans for animals to see? haha.. I dunno... Juz random thoughts I guess.. yet.. zoo is actually one of my favourite places in this small island we are living in... hmm..

.

The monkeys are slightly luckier.. got such a big place to wonder around.. and one even tried to STEAL my food!!! ... so mischievious! ... haha!

.

Not forgetting the extremely expensive chicken rice that I took there! :/

.

Well.. but overall.. I think I had a great time =D

.

Dinner was at swensens.. and we played pool after that.. [thanks for that! =D]

Class Outing...
.
Attendance wasn't that good... well.. I guess everyone's working now that's why.. we had lunch at Cafe Cartel and heard some interesting stories about army life.. [sounds exciting to me.. haha!]
.
Went to the arcade for a while... and we were watching this guy killing some monster and I thought that was very very boring.. hahaha.. but apparently he attracted a really large crowd... Jamie said he was very pro that's why...
.
Watched Ip Man... ya... and it was a nice show.. even though it was in Chinese.. the Kung Fu was REALLY good.. and the movie was a little touching too..

Guess I had been rather bored these days... spending my time either with my parents or with my computer.. working on a presentation.. and I just helped someone with her bio research project this afternoon... HAHA!! bio!! ... [the subject that I hated in Sec 4]
.

Since I was so bored.. I was looking through my cupboard and guess what I found.. my NCC uniform!!!!!! So I decided to try it on again... just wondering how I look like the last time!

Fierce rite?
