WooW~ Today I walk down to Admiraty Park. Took some pictures~ Kinda Tiring. It is just beside Republic Poly. Quite hard to hunt down bugs and insects to shoot.

his is the second time I went up the HSBC treetop, thanks to Affandi, we took a shorter way to go up the treetop. Nevertheless, the walk is still exhausting. It took us only 5 minutes to finish the bridge, it windy up there and it a hot sunny day. After completing our treetop, we went up the tower (I can't remember the name of it) after walk 1km I think. From the treetop, we walk our way back to the main entrance where the car park is. I think we walk around 5km in total on that day.

It not as bad compared to the first time I went, because we walk from the main entrance all the way to the treetop. Stopping every minute and then to take pictures, it 4.2km to reach HSBC treetop. Then, after completing the treetop, we make our way down and I think we somehow lost our ways. I only know we were walking on tar mac road and luckily there's a big comfort cab and we just hopped in. Phew, my legs we breaking the first time I went. So.. The second trip is not as tiring as what I expected. Phew~

For those who didn't get the chance to see how's the view from the treetop.

The Bird Park is not as big as compared to the Singapore Zoo, but, there are really alot of birds. I'll be posting some of the different types of birds, but don't expect too much from me. This is because most of them are kept in the cage, and it quite difficult to focus these birds as the cage obstructed the camera focus.

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...
