Conquering Singapore zoo and night safari!!=)

Good morning Singapore!!People are always rushing, even in the early morning.

Jenny brought us to one of their local market place for breakfast.

Sam and Jenny, very nice people whom I met.=)

Mun and me with our fish porridge.

After breakfast, Jenny dropped us at Dakota station and we made our way to Bras station.
Came out from the wrong exit and came across Singapore Art Museum.


While waiting for calls, we took the MRT to Esplanade.
Along Esplanade Bay, we stumbled upon the breathtaking view overlooking Marina Sands, Singapore Flyer and the majestic Merlion.

=)

We then made our way to this particular bus stop located opposite of Rendezvous hotel for the express bus to Singapore zoo.

We're here!!
I'm happy to get a white tiger fluffy keychain as a souvenir.
LET'S GO TO THE ZOO!

The first animal we saw was the cute and adorable cotton top tamarind.

Then it was the proboscis monkey which originated from Borneo-Sabah.
We felt so ashamed when the feeding talk actually addressed the lack of protection provided by the Malaysian government to help and deal with this yet-to-extinct species.
Well, they did not explicitly said Malaysia but everyone knows where they came from.=(

Naked moles.
Some are fat while some are skinny bones.

The map of the zoo.
Way bigger, cleaner and nicer than Zoo Negara.

Then it begin to rain....but no worries, we have PONCHO!!!
Thanks to Jenny again.

Shoppping never ends in Singapore no matter where you are.
=D

The zoo don't only have cute animals, they have cute babies too!
Look at him!

As the pillow talk yesterday night took away most of my sleeping time and due to my inability to sleep on the 1st night of any trip, I need a boost of caffeine.
Ben &Jerry's ice coffee is all I need!
*smile*

They have pretty good shows at the zoo, this is one of them-The Rain Forest Fights Back

Photo session with the animals after the Animal Friends Show!

Lunch at KFC!
I tried Roasta burger for the first time and no more second time for me.

~Splash Safari~

I love this Hippo a lot.

There are 3 white tigers in Singapore zoo, they are named Winnie, Jippie and Omar.
I think this one here is either Winnie/Jippie.
Poor Winnie didn't get to eat at all because the feeder did not throw the meat properly.
AND...WHITE TIGERS ARE NOT ALBINO!
They have rare genes and they all came from one ancestor-Mohan

The baboon kingdom, as you can see, they are having some sort of family discussion or something.lol
And....they are good in making babies!
Instantaneously

Night Safari!!!

Festival of lights deco in conjuction with Deepavali.

The firy show at the entrance.

All of us at the night safari.
=D

The night ended with a long journey back by bus and train to Joo Chiat.
2nd night ended with no pillow talk at all because we're just too exhausted to talk anymore.
Took bathe, packed a bit, write down our expenses and...ZZZZZzzzz

Singapore- the unforgettable 27/10/11

The plane that left without us.T_T

Luckily we managed to catch the next plane at 2.30pm to Singapore. Of course, we need to pay more.=(
2 boarding pass to get to 1 destination.
Mistake/luck?
I think it's both.

Jenny and Sam met us at the airport and brought us for some local mee pok and coffee.
Felt so sorry to let them wait because the flight was delayed.

After checking in, we took a quick bathe and hurried to Clementi to meet up with Shen, Jin Yu and Wey.
Shen brought us to a restaurant that serves good 'tai chao'.
Taste good but we can get better ones in KL.
What do you expect?
It's Singapore.=P


 The tourists insisted to take picture at the fountain.

And here's Wey!


After dinner, we went back to Joo Chiat and had a long pillow talk before we sleep.
Waking up the next morning feeling extremely tired but we still managed to take down the whole zoo and night safari the next day!

L.I.M.I.T

You reached my limit of tolerance.




I've tried enough.

Never felt like this before

Life is filled with emotions.
Today, I felt a new emotion that I've not felt before, not for the past 24 years of my life.
The intense waiting, the numerous "sighs", the lost of appetite to eat, the nervousness.....
I can't stop checking my mail and staring at my phone just to see whether I miss a call.
So not Amy Tan today.
Someone who don't bother picking up calls or replying text, today she kept checking her phone.
Someone who don't log into her mail and always has her mailbox flooded, today she's checking her mail every 15 minutes.
This feeling of insecurity, thinking that she will soon face rejection because she is not good enough.


Rejection is not a good feeling.
But...
Sometimes, somethings are best to surrender to God.
As long as I've given my best, there's nothing more that I can do about it.


Father, not mine but your will be done.
I'll go to where you'll lead me.
I've told you my dreams, my heart and my desire.
At the end of the day, you are still the composer of my life.





To you I surrender.
