A Birthday Outing to Zoo

My niece sms-ed me yesterday and asking us out to Zoo together with her boyfriend. I was shocked by the suggestion because it was her boyfriend’s birthday today. But I didn’t turn her down because I know Yvette will definitely love to go there.

This is our fourth trip to zoo and Yvette is still in loving it.  We took Bus 138 from AMK Inter-change and travelled all our way there. (I didn’t know there is a bus travel directly there from AMK.)

For this time, there’s not so much about the animals but there are definitely something new for us to experience.

Before we got into the Zoo, picture taking with all the animal statue at the entrance of the Zoo is a must! I like this picture of Yvette with my niece. She pushed in the one piece of Sushi before the shot. Greedy girl!

The animal that make my girl very excited today is Tortoise. She is really very much into them now. There were really many tortoise around. But we miss the Giant  Tortoise!

Since we had a very early morning today, Yvette sunk into sleep soon at 12. 15 noon.  This wasn’t a right time to nap as We experience the Tram Ride for the first time to the Rainforest Kidzworld specially for her.

Since Yvette was sleeping, and we were in time for the Animal Friends Show (Show Time: Daily 12.30 pm & 4.30 pm) and decided to go for it. (I never watch this show before too ya!) (Yvette could sleep despite the noise.)

The show started with a Techo Dance by the Zoo-Keeper and then he got 2 girls to join him for dance. I did take down the video but then with my broadband capability, I doubt I could upload them (record in HD mode) and post it here. And I am really surprise, the zoo use the latest techno hit in their show. They are really update to date!!! Here the original track of the song in Youtube, and I like it a lot too! (This brought back my memories when I went disco with Stella more than 10 over years ago!)

This show is really worth watching because the dogs and the cats even the mouse put up a good performance.

After the show, we waited awhile at KFC and hoping Yvette will wake up in time for the water fun but she didn’t. So We took a boat ride back. This is the first time we cruise on Upper Seletar Reservoir. The boat ride is so smooth and the view present in front of me is soooo beautiful

When we were about to leave Zoo (taking turn for toilet break, Yvette woke up). I am grateful her cousin agreed to my decision to take the boat ride again back to the Rainforest Kidzworld (It is unlimited ride now for both the boat and the tram.) for water fun.

She had so much fun there and she tried the 3 slides for the first time. (We only  manage to take picture when she was playing the Green Slide.)

I am sure she has now overcome the fear on playing slide with water which she didn’t want to when we were at Wild Wild Wet in last May.

P/S: Happy Birthday Bryan and thanks for inviting us to celebrate your birthday in Zoo. (This is the second birthday celebration of the month and still counting.)

Oh What a Morning?

Once in a blue moon Yvette will wake up every early in the morning and will not want to go back to sleep anymore. (There was once she was up at 6 plus every morning for consecutive 3 days and those days I feel like zombie walking on the street!!!)

This morning was one of those morning that she was up extremely early at exactly 5 plus because she was affected by the itch caused by her Eczema.

Knowing not possible to get her back to sleep, I decided to bring her out for morning walk before heading market to get some fresh meat!

We got changed and headed to Playground.

I think it was raining the night before. The playground was so wet that I couldn’t dry the slide after using 4 packets of Tissue Paper. Thus, we didn’t stay there for very long and we have to leave. (Yvette totally understands the playground is too wet for her to play and she didn’t whine when I told her we need to go.)

As we walked toward the market and she started to point and tell me “the sky is blue” & “the cloud is white”. I look up, indeed a blue sky with many many white cloud.

Her mood didn’t seemed to be affected by not having fun in the playground. Our market trip will usually end with her heading to this fish shop to admire the fish and the tortoise!
