Last sunday I went to the Singapore Night Safari with my boyfriend. It was my first time visiting the Night Safari, we reached rather early and the doors only opens at 7pm. So, we just hang around and then there were tribe dance organized by the zoo as well as photo-taking session with the snake. Of cos it not free. The tribe were like dancing from spot to spot from 6.45pm until I've finish watching the animal show at the open air theatre at 10.30pm.



It seems like every animal you visited, there were only 1 or 2 of them. It rather hard to see during the night, the pavement were relatively dark with little lamps. We went to an enclosed area to see squirel and fruit bats. Inside were very dark and to me, the area looks very eriee to me. Luckily there were more visitors entering the area, that means I don't have to worry so much. When we were exploring the fruit bat area, the fruit bat was flying around at low heights. Ahhh!! Then what happens? The people in front of us were screaming as well, and surprisingly, there were 2 guys in front of us, and know what? They were holding hands. And so I am pondering, were they afraid of the bats or were they gay?



There were this animal which I can't remember it name, the description board says that it gives out a smell of popcorn and pandan leaves. Well I did smell something fragrance which is very close to pandan leaves, but there were no popcorn smell at all. Maybe if we bring that animal to the movies, then we can smell both popcorn and pandan leaves. *chuckles*



Most of the areas, I can't really spot where the animals are, the zoo uses very dim spot light and some animals hides at a corner. Then it was time for the animal show, we queued for a very long time and we managed to find a very nice view where we were seated. The hosts seems a little agressive and rough, she invited volunteers on stage. Though the atmosphere and the show were not bad, she seems a little rude to them.


Overall, it a whole brand new experience at the night safari. 3 cheers to the mosquitos that had bite me. Arg...
