Dare mo. Shiranai.: Night Safari

WeeEee~~~ Ytday went to Night Safari with PeiYing n VonLin. Haha.. seemed abit pathetic with 3 pple gg only, but others couldn't make it due to long lessons in the earlier part of the day. Gosh.. they dunno wat they're missing out on man. =p

Well, we met up at amk at 5pm but it started drizzling!! AHhh!! Then von was late cos she was helping out her dad with some stuffs, so me n peiying went to K some arcade. Lolz.. There's this damn IRRITATING kid who kept "helping" us choose the mode when we gonna play the "bishy bashy". TWICE!! For god's sake.. not that we din tell him not to do so. I SWEAR i'll break his miserable neck.

Von came at around 5.40pm and we went s-11 to eat their infamous western food. I din eat lah, cos juz ate a late lunch with dear at hougang's Broadway before meeting them. (the satay really nice n tender!!) Wadd.. the chicken cutlet they ordered is really.... omg... shiok-ness sia!! Nice!! Bought the infamous TipTop curry puff too. Yeah it was good! Was feeling damn full sia. *burp*

We've decided to go ahead with our night safari expedition despite the gloomy weather since we're already there. Reached there ard 7.10pm. There were alot of tourists - mainly caucasians and nihon-jins. Thnx to peiying's fren, geraldine who is working as a volunteer, we managed to get 50% off the tix. ^__^ Tt amounted to $15 each nia. =D

The rain left a cool breeze, which made our stay there so much more enjoyable. We set out on foot for the Fishing Cat Trail and the Leopard Trail, then rushed to catch the 9pm Creatures of the Night Show. SOME pple are so damn inconsiderate. We're not supposed to take pictures due to the flash. But when the animals appeared, off it all goes. Arghh. It was so annoying cos we're all seeing spots after that. If only i could LITERALLY "stare daggers" at them.

AFterwhich, we toured the whole safari on the tram. Accompanying us were lotsa Samba Deers, cooling breeze and symphonic orchestra of crickets and cicidas. Alas, the tram ride ended at 10.30pm on the dot and we couldn't explore the last trail - Forest Giants Trail, in greater detail. Aww~~ and i tot we were there early considering the safari is opened at 7.30pm!!

Verdict : Memorable and very very fun!! ^___^ (too bad cannot take pics!)

Enjoyed the performance by Servals, which resembled a mini cheetah, jumping 3-4m in the air for prey; Saw interesting creatures like bearded pigs and barking deers. (Yes. They got the name cos they bark like dogs. -_-;;) And also this creature that's from the rats family, looking like a HUMONGOUS rat. It's like 3-4x bigger than my dogs. Take that! Eeks.. think it's called a Capybara. Of cos, not forgetting my fav fav sight of the night - Seeing a flying squirrel take off. It's reeaally pretty!! It scooped so low i felt if i raised my hand i could touch it. The fur, catching the dim lights, reflected a rich reddish-brown coat. Together in the same vacinity were the flying fox, which looked more like a giant bat to me. It also showed us its magnificent flight posture within our short stay inside the huge cage. 3 of us juz stood in awe, mesmerised by the visual feast.

We managed to catch the last train leaving amk to marina bay. It was home sweet home for us! Reached home around 12.30am.. boy were we shagged out. Still, it was worth all the money and trouble in getting there. =)
