isolation = dinner.
why?
dinner = FOOD = no more dwelling on isolation :D


anyway.
trip to the zoo with myra zhuwei and beverly was on 11th.
YIPPEE!


firstly, the brochure that zhuwei got had incorrect instructions.
from amk, the bus to go zoo was sposed to take 1 hr 15 mins, according to said brochure.
the journey took 20 mins.
so we arrived at the zoo at about 7.50
the zoo opens at ... 8.30
so we stoned and stoned and stoned outside.
i met JOAN LEE there too!
like woah!
so cool man.


anyway.
zoo finally opened and we went to look at otters first.
took a couple pics, including some of otters rolling ard.
the monkeys at the treetop trail were all still slping.
so we moved on to the orang utans.
then we wanted to catch the polar bear feeding time, but it was at 10.05
whereas it was close to 9 when we finished with the orang utans.
and taking photos with the japanese girls who wanted to take pics with us too.
friendly people.
met them at the elephants of asia exhibit too.
but i'm jumping ahead of myself.


went stoning around zoo some more.
we saw baby white rhino (i think its name is jelani)
and antelopes
and zebras
and giraffes (zhuwei's personal favourite)
and lions
and meerkats
and we were early, so we went to the polar bears' place to stone and wait.
i nearly exhausted all my camera battery trying to get shots of the polar bear.
i think it was sheba, the smaller mummy bear.
anyway.
the polar bear feeding started.
inuka is ENORMOUS.
the water refraction thingy and the glass made his head seem cut off from his body.
i got a shot of that :D

then we saw white tigers, myra's favourite!
they're seriously really pretty.
but their feeding was at 2pm or so.
so we left them after taking some shots of them.

then we went to see pygmy hippos (:
the signs are adorable.
the real thing isnt as pretty though.
although its supposed to be the underwater ballerina of west africa or something.

we also went to the australian outback enclosure.
there was a sign put up in memory of steve irwin.
it was a raunchy sort of day for the animals.
iguanas and snakes are being... well... not very discreet.
then we fed the kangaroooooooooooooos.
myra fed an emu, which pecks with much force.
and we were warned to stay away from the "not-very-friendly" wallabies.
they looked pretty friendly to the kangaroos though.
and kangaroos can really jump super farrrr.
like wowww.
i forgot to mention we saw warthogs along the way.
timon and pumbaaaaaaaa.
oh, and i photographed the raunchy acts of the animals because i was the only one with a cam :/

then we went to see hamadryas baboons!
it was damn cute okayy.
its like there was this mother baboon with her baby, so i took a pic of them.
then my attention shifted to the ibexes and other animals.
then when i looked back at the baboons, i saw this male one walking towards us.
so i snapped one of him.
then suddenly a whole lot of baboons came running after the male too!!!
so i took a pic of them too :D
its like...
baboon runs to front.
many baboons run after first baboon.
first baboon jumps into water.
other baboons dont follow.
weird baboon behaviour.

then went to see elephants of asia.
the elephants are really smart and cute.
and they take commands in SINHALESE.
-remembers ss-
abit the four of us started giggling/laughing silently when they mentioned the elephants understanding sinhalese.

then we went to see penguins (:
i kept trying to take pictures of them
but the cam batt was running low, so the pictures were kinda shaky and everything
and i kept taking people who were standing in the background too.
that is... me.
and i tried, and failed, to take a picture of the manatee.
not like they're very pretty too anyways.

we went to see crocs after tht.
great ugly creatures.
again, water refraction plays enormous tricks on your eyes.

after tht went to eat lunch at kfc!
yaye.
then tried to walk around the childrens world or sth like tht.
but i felt ludicrously OLD upon hearing all the kids' music.
so we went out of there and went to see proboscis monkeys before seeing fragile forest.
there were two turtles trying to be discreet in the fragile forest.
hem hem. -imitates umbridge-
butterflies love myra too much.
and lemurs are scaryy.
i failed horribly in trying to take a picture of a mudskipper :/
worst of all, the mudskipper wasnt moving.
aii.
anyway, myra took a picture with a cottontop marmoset.
i THINK that's what its called.

anywayy.
we were at the reptile part when it started to pour.
truly rainforest-style.
so we were stuck there staring at reptiles.
which, thankfully, werent very horny, if you know wht i mean (:
unlike their OTHER cousins aka the iguanas, snakes and turtles that got caught in the act.

anyway.
we sat down in front of the anacondas' enclosure to stone and play handphone games while waiting for rain to stop.
tried making zhuwei perform 'singing in the rain', but it didnt work out.
the zookeepers then very kindly relieved us of our boredom by feeding the anacondas!
they fed them with dead chicks.
when the anaconda got the chick, it immediately started coiling itself around the dead chick and constricting it.
i presume its an instinct, seeing as the poor chick is already dead.
but it didnt eat it straightaway you know.
i think another anaconda came and fought with it.
so they were twirling around each other and making a mess in the water, and all the while the poor chick was floating around vertically upright.
we were really tempted to ask wht gender the anacondas were.
but we decided not to when a third anaconda joined in the fray.
so you can imagine three anacondas twisting around together and looking quite... ah... indecent?
dno la.
haii.
maybe we saw too many animals being very (...) already.
so naturally more predisposed to think that way.
lalalalalalala.
one anaconda ate 3 chicks.
greedy pig.
one chick floated around with a bloody neck before it was finally eaten.

anyway, we left when the rain got a bit smaller.
toured the souvenir shop a little, and nearly lost myra to the dressing room -.-
then we had ben&jerry's ((:
and then went back.
sat in amk hub and talked and talked and talked.
myra was fantasizing about some zac efron/spongebob theme park or something.
beverly had to listen to all that.
(poor thing).
while me and zhuwei talked about __________. :D
then went home, and myra was still thinking about spongebob.

LALALALA.
okaay.
i am going to upload the pics on shutterfly now.
