WOW..... today I stepped into BOTH the zoo and the night safari! It was real fun! didn't know it was going to be so fun! hahaha

First we met up with my swiss friend in Chinatown MRT station. Me and sista was like spying on every angmoh that we see to make sure we didn't get the wrong person! hahahah since it was super crowded, took a while before we spotted each other. Greeted each other with 2 pecks on the cheek, the usual angmoh way of greeting.

Ate at Yum Cha restuarant. SUPER crowded as well.

Hopped onto a taxi, zoo was pretty fun! I we missed the children's world where we could see cows, ponies, and stuff. hahaha.

Night Safari was the best part of the night! We went through their walking trails, Flying CAt Trail, Leopard Trail and Giant forest trail.

Flying Cat Trail was cool! We saw flying cats (obviously), ottah (VERY cute but smelly) and lots of other cat species of the world. Then we come to this part called a Mangrove Walk where you step into this enclosure where there are flying bats all around you. Pretty scary at first. Me and Sista were like walking with SUPER cautious steps cuz its very dark and we can't really see properly. We walked past a BIG FRUIT BAT without seeing it! And it was like less than 30cm away, so you can imagine how dark is it! Hahahah. We only knew when Claudia said we actually past a BIG one!

Leopard trail was exciting! We saw lots of species of leopards, tigers, lions. Luckily they were in glass enclosures! hahahhhaa. OH then we came to this Flying Squirrel enclosure. Its really amazing cuz they look like normal squirrels when they are on the trees but then they can stretch open their arms and legs (like when we are doing star jumps). So when they stretch open their arms and legs, they become like a square and they can actually glide in the air!!! VERY VERY COOL.

Giant Forest Trail was nothing much actually except for this 34m long suspension bridge for us to see the tropical rainforest. The bridge is like shaking mildly, but as you know, I'm like afraid of heights! I was like thinking will the bridge suddenly over turn! hahaha.

After all the trails we went for the creatures of the night show. It was GREAT! They had this really cute Ottahs. The presenter poured onto the ground some cans, paper cups and plastic bottles. Then, they had 3 ottahs (they were very small creatures) to come out to throw the cans, paper cups and plastic bottles into small recycling bins. So they actually knew which type of rubbish goes to where! They were having so much fun, they throw in a can then took them out again! hahah so funnie. Highlight was that they actually hide a PHYTHON in the audience seat! my gosh! LUCKILY WE WERE NOT SITTING THERE!!

Lastly, we went for a 45 min tram ride to take a closer look at the wild animals. The ride was good and very educational! Learnt lots and lots about the animals.

VERY FUN "excursion" today!
