It was the SIAEC Carnival wor.. and my friend in SNCO got me the tix for entry (meals included.. plus ice-cream also.. whaha..).. and it was.. FOC (for me at least =D) Special thanks to ml.. (you know who you are.. haha)
So before boarding the chartered bus to zoo, a familiar face saw me. (LOL.. couldn't say i saw a familiar face.. i don't even have any idea who that person was lor.. so bad of me huh) Anyway, sh from wss was there too. Was my sis's junior, and supposed to be of my batch.. but i really have no recollection. Something very wrong with my memory huh.. haha.. wondered what is left of my secondary school days. So they told me, "Nu da shi ba bian".. and i said , "yalor...." but before i could complete my sentence.. i think i got hit.. haha.. as if it was so easy to read my mind. LOL.. nevertheless, reached the zoo quite early and assembled at the carpark for treasure hunt.
Jamie Yeo was there wor. Well.. i think reality really differs from the tv. So there were so many of us, we split up to do the hunt.. haha.. in the end, still didn't win. Quite disappointing though. LOL.. a bit like the "SMRT Challenge" lor.. but seriously, i think i had quite enough of games in SRC le. Do until want to puke le lor.. haha.. don't know anyone wants to hire the excos 05/06 to do events as such or not.. whaha.
Then rain came.. and the animals all very ke lian. I don't know why lei.. but like caged in a bit like restricting their freedom like that. Perhaps i've watched too much tv on scv.. thought they would be running around "happily" (if they are running away from predators, i don't think they will be happy ba..). But the space is quite small.. for a dog like pakki given access to 80% of the area of the house, he still find it boring.. what about the big cats? Hmm.. but then again, having less freedom or face extinction in the wild.. it'ssomething not for me to say.
Lunch was nice.. KFC! Wahha.. better than the other one we used in FOD anyway. LOL.. KFC is always nicer. LOL.. nice lunch but.. great disappointment that the ice-creams were out of stock. LOL.. how can? Hahah.. sponsor play "cheat" de.. didn't sponsor enough right? LOL.. kidding.
Anyway, of all, enjoyed the show by the elephants the most. They are.. well, so trainable and playful. But i believe that, training is nothing wrong.. so long as the method doesn't create physical and mental stress for the animal.. and the act they are supposed to do doesn't require them to do something out of the ordinary. For example asking a lion to walk on twos ba..
Super long day.. haha.. and quite tired as always coz i slept at 4.30am last night and woke up early today.. haha.. and now is already 3 am le.. lol.. still got to wake up early tomorrow..
Some pictures taken at the zoo today:
Don't ask me.. i don't know what they are called.. haha..
So tall!
Nice view from above.
looking for "gold" huh..
"Bei Hors"! (White tigers) Wahahahaa..
"Arthurs" lol..
"Monkey", "Gorilla", "Chimpanzee"
And so, going to the zoo at 24.. haha.. i think the next time i go to sg zoo will be when i bring my kids go (if any).. hahaha.. been there, and seen it.. hopefully i remembered what its like.. if not i might visit the zoo sooner than i thought le.. haha.
