Singapore Zoological Gardens
last thursday saw me at the zoo on my yearly visit. it was a good day, with the perfect kind of weather for a visit to the zoo - no rain, and not too sunny. it was the first time i went to the zoo and didn't meet with the rain at all.
upon arrival, we proceeded to fill our stomachs with kfc's shrooms burger meal (breakfast is the most important meal of the day!) before breezing through the entrance with our corporate pass (read: free admission!). after grabbing the brochure/map, we were rushing madly from programme to programme, trying to catch the different animal shows and feeding times. lol. how small is singapore, when you can meet a long-lost friend working at the zoo? hmm...
we managed to see almost all the different exhibits (so sad to miss out the reptiles :( ) including the infamous white tigers (a slightly higher number of people were at the enclosure, mostly discussing the recent incident). lunch was at kfc again (did we really spend 2 hours there???) and the rest of the day was a leisurely stroll to the remaining exhibits. nearing the closing time, the zoo became quieter, and it was my favourite part of the visit. no noisy children or big groups of tourists.
you mentioned that you have never been to night safari. if you want to, we could go together. :)
