Zoo Out

The last time we visited the zoo was in March 2008 with Oliver, a long long time ago.

On 6 July, Delcare was closed and so the 4 of us had an extended weekend.

The weather was really terrific and both Oliver and Heidi were pretty agreeable too. Both of them could sat together on the clumbersome double stroller for a long while intially.

We didn't quite cover most of the zoo, but we think they probably enjoyed themselves, especially during the new boat ride and the short tram ride, even though obviously Heidi was still oblivious to the animals.

At one of the place, called Garden With A View, which oversee the Seletar reservoir, there was a bronze statue of Ah Meng. We happily placed the pram in front of Ah Meng and Sophia was busy snapping away on the camera.

Then I heard some rustling sound and the next moment the top half of a crust of a fruit like a coconut, although this was beautifully cut, like a Playmobil hairstyle, came crashing down near Sophia. So near that if she was hit it would be very painful. I suspected that that was the doing of a monkey and we quickly left the place.

Only on the boat ride later that the guide explained that that was the placed where Ah Meng was married and buried. Oh well.

On the way back we also took a photo of the fake otter like the previous outing.

The day ended perfectly as both of them slept on the way back home at 4pm until they were woken up for dinner in the late evening.
