a trip to the zoo

daddy got his company's zoo pass early this week hence off we went to the zoo today - thank goodness for the really nice weather (it has been a rainy week!), it made this trip so much more enjoyable.

mon cherie and gaby all ready and set to go for their little adventure!


we had missed the morning feeding sessions for quite a few animals hence we tried our luck with morning shows... 1st up, we stopped by to see this beautiful probosis monkey... look at the nose and the long tail! :D


and mommy's favourite... white tiger


we managed to catch the elephant show... it was the same old tricks but still enjoyable to watch.

one of the elephant, Gambir gave her 'blessings' to those seated in the front rows... hahahaa...

next up we went to see the pigmy hippos...

behind gaby is the mommy hippo and her baby is next to her (too dark can't see clearly here). the daddy hippo was at another location... all three were having their mid-day nap! ah, such is life at the zoo for these fatty family!

we then went to the australian outback to see the wonderful wallabies, kangaroos and emu.

why was daddy and me looking so.... focused?


watching this little wallaby being petted by other kids and then suddenly just hopped away, crossing the small walking pathway back to join his clan.

we took a short pit stop - for auntie M to feed gaby his mid-day cereal lunch and for me to have a snack... see my tired but hungry face... but i'm not ready for a nap just yet coz there is more adventure for me!


gaby missed his morning nap but was still very alert and happy - i guess he enjoyed watching the animals just as much!


and of course, this is the highlight of our adventure... well, more for mon cherie coz once she saw the water playground, all that came out of her mouth was : "PLAY PLAY PLAY"...





gaby was also eager to get himself wet but since he was still having a little runny nose, we just let him enjoy a little bit of walking about bare-feet.


after almost 40mins of waterplay for chloe, we left kidzworld and had a short cruise around the kids' petting farm. gaby was happy to see the young horses!


and enroute to see the rest of the other animals which we missed out earlier on... the weather had started to be a little bit sunny by then...

aiyoh... acting cute ha.... the family in front of us asked if gaby's a girl! hahaha...

at the enclosed butterfly kingdom, these creatures were roaming about freely... gave mon cherie such a fright when they jumped from one tree branch to another!


this one is hilarious... flea picking at the rear?! :P

did you see the tiny little baby just below the mommy? very cute little fella!

and we missed the polar bears - coz they were napping inside the air-conditioned enclosure (wah, so good life ah!) and the giraffes were moved elsewhere as their area were being upgraded (SERS program for the animals den too?!)

but managed to catch the zebra feeding time...


it was almost 430pm when we reached this area and mon cherie was very much going to dozed off. so we decided it was enough fun for the day (she missed her mid-day nap coz too happy playing in the water!) and headed back to the entrance for a quick drink while the girl took her nap.

when we got home around 5pm, all of us were totally shacked... but it was a great family outing.
PS: alamak... forgot to take family picture AGAIN! sigh!
