First visit to the Zoo 2/19/09

This will be a slow and long post about our Zoo trip. It is Aeon's first trip to the Singapore Zoo.
I will blog it bit by bit due to time constraints.


2/19/2009 - Roland's 32nd Birthday , we decided to bring Aeon to the Zoo to see the elephants and other animals.

Here's his first step onto the ground (was seated in his stroller prior this). He is so so so excited and happy. We can see from his laughter and behaviour.


We saw some elephant statues outside the Zoo :



And we took a photo with the elephants:





(there's a Ben & Jerry outside the Zoo)
Is this real? Aeon tried to say Hi to the cow:

• Trying out the caps at the retail:
• Aren't these cute? Wanted to fell for it and buy for Aeon, but he doesn't like:

• Cute dustbins:
• Walking directory:
• Smile!
• The handsome wolf, I like their smart 'boots':
  
• A can of coke costs $3.50, luckily we bought some drinks from seven-eleven earlier. Remember to get your own drinks if you want to save money.
• Eat and poo so much, see the size of their poo!

• Aeon's point of view - looking at the Zebras:
• The magnificent cheetah

• I cannot recall what they are pointing at:
• I'm not hiding into the soil this time - Ostrich
• Another cute dustbin
• Feasting, I don't remember the name of this little animal.
• Difference between a jaguar and leopard - jaguars have black spots in the centre of each ring of spots, leopards do not.
• The amount of rainfall for various places, Singapore is #2 after Amazon. Followed by Tokyo, NewYork, Beijing, Saudi Arabia
• Milk time
• Roland & I saw this on a tree, we thought it is a fake battery soft toy till we saw it breathing:
• This is a real Batman! :P
• At the 'Butterfly zone' - I managed to get close and took a nice shot, butterflies like colours and are attracted to these colourful boards:
• What a delicious piece of 'Belacan stingray':
• Say cheese Aeon!
• Same polka face
• Aeon has so much fun playing with this, pressing the different buttons to hear the different sounds animals make:
• The zoo designed special food games for the chimpanzees, see this cute fellow playing to get his fruits. What a clever way to stimulate their minds:
• It is a really hot day, we can't help giving in to a nice sweet dessert:
• Horses have really long lashes:
• The boy who loved the Zoo - saw this on a bench:
• Cool - people actually discovered how to determine the sex of a crocodile. Intermediate temperatures produces males, low and high temperatures produce females.
• So cute!
• Many many kids on school excursion - reminds me of my primary school:
• Aeon cannot make it - fainted and dozed off the stroller before he could see the real elephants:
• We pulled him back:
• Finally we reached the elephants, trying to wake Aeon:
• We all took turns to take photos with the elephants:
• We went to Dallas Chicken and Ribs for our dinner after our Zoo trip. I received an email from YX the previous day on Dallas, so I decided to bring both of them for dinner. I am quite disappointed, it is not as nice as the email, KFC's still my favorite. Dallas' fries are nice -hot and fat:
• Aeon cannot sit still, eating and standing:
