Zoo.Digeridoo.How Do You Do?
Mood: Enlightened about short-sighted Rhinos
Would you go to the zoo for 2 days straight? Would you want to get drenched in rain on both the days? Would you take millions of pictures when you are in the zoo? Would you enjoy singing 'I like to move it, move it' in the lemur enclosure? Would you be attracted to cute little animals smaller than your palm?
If all answers are yes, YOU would be ME!
Saturday and Sunday were Zoo Days for me. And ooooh boy do I miss the zoo.. its been aeons since I visited the zoo. Back then even the lion's had big retro hairdos. Months before Khai flew off, I kept saying that I missed the zoo and he promised to bring me free of charge. But my dad got the complimentary card [Corporate Friends of the Zoo card] in the month that Khai would be transversing over the European countryside, which could admit 4 persons at a time so all I could do was pounce on the offer. Its not that I don't wanna go with my honeybee but opportunity has presented itself on a glittery rainbow-coloured platter. Anyway, I could just go for a recce.. check things out, which parts to go.. right baby? heh
So on the first day, Darwish, Nasyatul, their parents and maid came along with me.. We only reached the zoo about 3.30pm, two and half hours before it closes.. Not my fault.. I blame it on my extended environment. And instead of doing a fast game on visiting the animals, we visited Colonel Sanders first. Energized the body with crunchy pieces of chicken parts dipped in flour batter and fried in a vat of hot oil. Yummy you'd say.. Fatty indeed.
Onwards we marched to the polar bear enclosure and just when I thought we could sea the lions, the kids saw the horse drawn carriage. $8 for an adult.. Freaking expensive. We ended up in that carriage pulled by a horse named Jones which was foaming at the mouth because he was in 'racing' mode. Thats what the guide told us. It could be dangerous being pulled by a rabid horse. I can just imagine Need For Speed Horse Version..
I trusted Darwish with the map and he directed us to the Snake Enclosure [all this when he held the map upside down] Thats where we got caught in the rain so we ended up looking at snakes eating dead mice. There were even other interesting creatures like this one...
We were stuck for the rest of the day so we came out from the zoo only about 5.30pm and thats already closing time. kinda sucks that we didnt get to see much in the zoo. but i'm going again tmr but this time with Iqa and Ayi.. Gonna be fun I know....
