You know what? I’m a real outdoors person and since I’ve been here. The big question is….what is there to do in Singapore that I would like? Seriously other than shopping what am I to do? That stressed me for the entire year. So to save some people who might stumble upon this blog. Fellow travellers, here is my attempt to save you some pain. I am compiling a list of things I find fun to do. This does not however in anyway reflect a general interest but its my particular interest. I will explain why I like it and hopefully that will help you make yours.

Oh well, I always heard about the zoo for a long time. But two things really stopped me from going there. It’s cost and I had nobody to go with. So I delayed that until two months back when, someone so dear came to Singapore for a visit. Miracle! My God-daughter. She is sooooo precious to me. Hearing her call me Kai-Yeh (Cantonese for god-father) is like heaven…..

Anyway we decided! The zoo is the place to go. It costs us SGD 18 per person per entry.¬† So we went together four of us with Miracle getting in free because she is only 2. Also you may want to take note that it is quite a walk for those of you who don’t fancy walking you can pay SGD 10 per person more to sit the tram ride around the zoo.

We chose to walk because we are thrifty people. Well the good part of it was that we chose to get a little cart to pull Miracle in. But she refused to sit in it. Only want to walk around and see. Mostly want her real Papa to carry her. Glimpses of the animals  and teaching her what they were and hearing her call their names out was so cute.

There are various shows across the zoo at different times. We decided to go and see the elephant show. We arrived early and there were seats. We waited impatiently trying to keep Miracle interested by asking her ‘Where is the elephant?’. Soon the seats were all filled up. And the show was to begin. So many people were there. The host started to speak with this fake accent that was soooooo annoying to me. But Miracle was enjoying herself looking at to ginormous elephants. Still we were feeling hot tooo. So we tied up my little princess’ hair up. Look at how beautiful she looks. I’m going to soooooo kill the guy that breaks her heart hahahaah.

We didn’t take many pictures because I was just more occupied with her. We walked like about a quarter of the entire zoo and she started to be really tired. Finally she decided to sit on the little trolley. Haha. It was also about to rain. Michael and Michelle, Miracle’s parents were comparing the zoo back home with the one here and they said…..no fight. Here is like super nice. Smells good too. Also the animals that are tame aren’t caged up to a point that it feels like you’re visiting a prisoner. They are all in the open and that was nice because you can actually get soo close to the animals

I must say things are pricey if you bring your whole family. Food is crazy….but we didn’t eat there. Phew. I had so much fun I didn’t want to leave. But for Miracle’s sake it was time to go. I can’t wait to go back. Next door was the Night Safari and I heard it is very nice too. I so want to go too….and I did months later. Coming up….Night Safari in the next post!
