Today's the only free day Woon Ching have in the whole holiday. Damn, it's scary how her 6 weeks of holiday can be booked everyday for CCA and school activities! But anyway, we decided to go to the Jurong BirdPark!
In the Penguin Expedition.
In the Penguin Expedition.
Hehehe. They look so cute, floating around in the water like a balloon would. :D
The emperor penguins. The alpha and the omega of all penguins.
Without a doubt, they own the best territory in the entire enclosure. There is only one area that is covered with a layer of thick ice.
Feeding time! Look at them penguins huddling around the fellow! Kyaaa! :D
Just look at the rest of the penguins swimming around to get the fishes!
The next show, "Birds N Buddies", was held at the Pools Amphitheatre.
The flamingos kept dancing around. Lol!
1V1 basketball, anyone?
Flying through a series of 3 hoops across the amphitheatre.
What the yay, I caught them crossing each other in mid-air! :D
If you observe clearly, the hole in the hula-hoop is wrapped with a piece of thin paper and it is torn when the bird flew through it.
Welcome to the "Talking Birds" area. I pity the birds here. They were bored out of their minds. I swore one of them was biting the cage door, as though it was trying to free itself. Another one was squawking at earsplitting levels and flapping its wings furiously. It continued its tirade even after one of the keepers came to check on it. Birds are meant to soar through the skies, yea? :/
I swear all the birds look away on purpose when they see you poised with a camera!! Must be their form of entertainment after getting bored of seeing tourists. It's as though they deliberately make you shoot their backside and then laugh at you when you go 'Aaaargh!' !
Only two words came to my mind when I saw this photo on my laptop.
INSANELY CHILDISH.
Hahaha!
Time to visit the owls!
I see signs like these everywhere, especially on the glass windows in pet shops. Yet I never fail to see little brats and lagi best, their parents too, rapping their knuckles and slamming their palms on the glass panels, trying to catch the attention of the mammals inside.
What the fug? You can say they are blind and dumb AND they're not even really handicapped in that sense.
Blind because they fail to see the signage telling them not to knock the glass.
Dumb because they don't realise knocking the glass gives the animals noise trauma.
Seriously, if you guys can afford to coo at the animals because they're cute, then don't give them the unnecessary stress.
Can you spot two owls? ;)
Peek-a-boo!
One of the owls had its back facing the window. When Woon Ching and I stood at the window for awhile, it suddenly turned its head 180 degrees to look at us! LMAO! Gave us a shock! It's a bit eerie when its head is facing you while the body isn't. Haha.
We proceeded to the Lory Loft to feed the lories!

Looks confrontational, doesn't it? It is photos like these that I like. It gives me a sense of achievement knowing that I manage to shoot that fleeting moment and preserve it.
Woon Ching was complaining that the lories mistook her thin arms for branches (lol!) and that their claws were hurting her.

While Woon Ching was taking my photo, an American couple stood behind her, waiting for us to finish because they can't cross the bridge before that. The guy made a goofy expression at me, making me laugh while my photo was being taken. Haha! Afterwards, I did apologise to them for causing them inconvenience ('cos they had to wait for us). I'm just that sort of person. :D
Ostrich! Ain't it cute?
Archaeologists-Can't Make Its.
ROFL!
Woon Ching has a fetish for ducks! Hahaha!
And she says,"Yo!"
The new Pioneer MRT station.
We slept on the train ride all the way to Raffles City. Transferred to another train to get to Dhoby Ghaut. Woon Ching wanted to make a bear at the Build-A-Bear Workshop. And she managed to convince me into making one too. Heh. She kindly sponsored me the clothings for my bear. :)
Every bear is just an empty shell, waiting to be filled with stuffings and given a heart.
A wide variety of clothings to choose from. They even have panties and boxers for the bears! I joked about buying a bear with nothing but boxers! Hahahaha! I'll get a earful from my parents if I do that. ;)
And it's a pity the shop didn't have the kimono boy outfit for the bear. Dang! I'm sure my bear will look oh-so-handsome in it (even though my bear is supposed to be a girl).
Went over to Far East Plaza for dinner. I haven't been there for the tom yam ramen in months. Missed it so much. Had dinner at the SLICE shop at Basement 1. They have become such a popular outlet since we went there when they just opened.
Itadakimasu!
Woon Ching accompanied me to Kinokuniya even though I said I'm ok with going by myself. She insisted that it isn't good to be a loner. Haha. Thanks Ching!
I'm pretty sure I'll be alone in future... In more than one way and for more than one reason.
Yay! :D
