My home location is just within 10 minutes away from our Singapore Zoological Garden at Mandai Road.
Sadly the last time i paid a visit to the zoo was more then a decade ago! But thanks
to a kind soul, Faizuli, he was sweet enough to ask Elfy, myself and Baidah along for a complimentary trip to the zoo with him. Although Baidah cannot make it because she had to work, the other 3 still went.
Alas, last Sunday i never knew that going to the zoo with the besties would be so enjoyable and we had the time of our life there, no kidding!
The Peepz that went for the outing to the zoo
The wet weather dampen our mood even before we reached the zoo. So we thought we'll have our late lunch of nasi lemak (courtesy of yours truly) while waiting for the rain to subside. But still the rainy weather refused to stop even after we were done with our lunch.
Since it will be a waste of time waiting for Mr Sun to come out, we decided to just go ahead and entered the zoo. Lucky enough for the 3 of us we received another 5 complimentary tram & train ride tickets from Faizuli's friend who happened to be working there. Elfy and myself were already beaming that it was a good thing tagging along with Fai so far the trip to the zoo had been free!
To shelter ourselves from the rain,we had our tram ride first around the zoo and it was just nice when the tram ride came to an end because it was only drizzling then. Armed with fish & prawn crackers, sour plums, as well as it was a good thing Elfy and me brought our own trucker caps (which initially was to protect us from the sun and funny eh the 3 of us brought our own shades thinking we could 'melawa' from the scorching heat konon). We braved through the drizzling rain to meet the creatures that lived inside this zoo, it was utter delightment! Oh by the way each of us had told each other earlier what animal we 'must' see!
Elfy decided on Giraffe, Faizuli decided on his White tiger and as for me i really wanted to see the Polar bear! Did we manage to see all 3? heh i'll answer that at the end of the entry, but well maybe from the photos you can tell if we got to see all 3
We had fun here! Believe it or not, i do not have to go down under to get up close to kangaroos! They were roaming freely, and we could pat them! Elfy and me were giggling like school girls, and at times i would shrieked just because these kangaroos can be sneaky! i had one behind me without realising!
The elephant show was too much talk i think
After the elephant show
While waiting for the train ride, Fai got a tad vain hehe
The train ride in Children's World Animal Land, which Elfy insisted that we must not miss it since it was a free ride as well included in the tram & train complimentary tickets. Which sadly we had to alight after the second stop because we were boarding the last train ride..

Most of the time we were ooh-ing and aah-ing at any animals we came across! I seriously never been close to a crocodile before,it was gigantic,huge!! I was in awe at this great animal without realising that ive been staring at it for quite awhile! Seeing it suspended in the water lazily i scrutinized every inch of its body, saw them being fed, and what saves me from being a part of their dinner was a glass wall that separates them and me!
Oh yeah Elfy and Fai almost got themselves bitten by a big bird with a long beak (not sure what it's called)after i made them attempt to take a photo with it! What a sight i tell ya as they both scurried away! Of course needless to say as much as it was so so funny to me, both of them were cursing at me!
Afro anyone?
Ok these baboons wins hand down being the most entertaining animal to watch!! We spent the longest time here!How can we not? As we studied them, their characters were very much similar to us human! We had fun renacting what exactly these baboons might be thinking! The most exciting part had got to be watching the baboon penis! Sorry for being crude but well despite being a smaller version from a Man's penis, they were very similar in terms of being erected!!! You see the baboon in the second photo above?Well this is the same baboon that we were laughing so hard at!! His penis was constantly erected as long as the small one were looking for lice on his body! It became flaccid when the activity stops then erected again when the small one continued again!! It was so hlarious to watch!
At the end of the day it was well spent but exhausted nonetheless! Oh and yes Elfy got to see her Giraffe but disappointed because it was kinda short (the one i saw in Bangkok was much much taller), Fai was estatic to meet his White tiger and as for myself, it was unfortunate that i did not get to see the Polar Bear!! It was the last animal we went to, came to the enclosure but saw no polar bear or whatsoever! I wasnt about to give up, and begged for Fai and Elfy to spot the bear if there was hiding somewhere, in the end we gave up, but as i was walking away with a glum face, Elfy called to me excitedly that the Polar bear was actually in the cold room, but no i still did not get to see it in the flesh! All i saw was its ass jutting out from the cold room probably cooling itself from the heat!So elfy and me was being a bit silly by calling out to it to see if we attract his attention but no again,it refused to budge!! So there! I only got to see the Polar Bear Ass, that counted as something right no?
The 3 of us went home after we had tire ourselves out and upon reaching woodlands, that was where i had my fall after alighting from the bus! Now im still having the after effects of the pain and fever, the guys both agreed that i had seen too much of the baboons penis, thanks eh!
Photos taken on the way back in the bus (ehem before the fall that is)
