I have been so much of myself at work. Pui Haan and Kar Perng are so fun to be with. I learnt alot about Singapore from them. Shame on me! They are Malaysians! They also taught me Malay and Cantonese. Lols! I have been reciting those Cantonese words with Jun Wen so that I remembered them.
I'm so proud of myself being able to sing in front of people I have known for 3 weeks. I lied about getting first in a singing competition and Pui Haan laughed so hard. She couldn't believe it! LOL! I really like friends who are so honest. :D
We competed on who could fill the pipette tips into the pipette box faster and i lost most of the time! Was called a loser because of that. Pui Haan would give me a very snobby face when she wins. And when she loses, she would give excuses like her fingers slipped since she has such smooth fingers or that she was diverting her focus to the others' conversations.
I volunteered to climb under the desk to reach all the way in order to pull out the telephone line and put in a new one. I was taking such a long time mainly because I can't really reach it. Beads of perspiration began to form on my forehead. Pui Haan was telling our supervisor, "Can I try instead? My arm is longer than hers!" Our supervisor being a more serious lady, her face turned -__-". She is only 6cm taller than me and I don't think her arm is any longer. LOL.
And she thought that I'm a very Malaysian Singaporean. Lol! Did I tell u guys one of my favourite hobbies is to imitate the Malaysian accent? Yes, I love their accent cos it is so funny. I blended in with them when I talked and they didn't discover that I deliberately copied them. I think I have succeeded! Yeahs!
The 3 of us were planning to hop by every lab on our level someday and get to know all the other researchers. "Hey, Lab 501, we are Lab 505!" we would say. But we haven't find the guts to do that as the aftermath might turn out to be disastrous. Lols.
Jun Wen has been hurrying me to blog about the zoo visit we had, but I was too tired! So finally today, I have some time to blog an entry before I sleep.
The last time I went to the zoo was when I was 14. That was 10 years ago! Lol.
Our zoo tickets. Admission is $20 each.
But it's so worth it. :D
Still Singapore zoo rocks. I tell u why as we go along.
Cotton Top Tamarin.
The tree these tamarins are on is so small and we could see its top from our heights. The tamarins are so close to us that we could reach and touch it. I mean, of course before we could touch one, it would have already swung away.
We didn't even have to zoom in.
Main reason why Singapore Zoo rocks: Nature becomes so close to us.
There are no enclosures for some animals who won't harm us humans. :D
The souvenir shop.
Jun Wen went for the Night Safari run and passed by many souvenir shops and we thought there would be plenty on our way through the Zoo but much to our surprise, there are only 3! One at the entrance and one in the middle, and one at the exit. I'm pretty sure about it since we managed to cover the entire zoo using our feets as the mode of transport.
We did what we usually do. Hold plushies up in souvenir stores for photos.
Papa Emperor Penguin and Child Emperor Penguin
Nowsadays Merlions are getting cuter. They come in different colours too. Lol.
The Rangers' truck.
Jun Wen said he didn't mind being a ranger but it wasn't meant to be! The animal-related companies didn't respond to his applications!
Siamangs are apes with long arms! They only like being near the top of many tall trees so we had difficulty spotting them. The snapshots of them were unclear since their black fur couldn't be seen clearly with such dull green leaves surrounding them.
Under our bridges were crocodiles. They seldom move and I almost thought they were fake, like those in Hong Kong Disneyland. A float was tied at the bridge in case we fall down the bridge into the mouths of those crocodiles!
Those squirrels in the zoo were so different from those we saw in the parks. They are so trained i tell u! They don't shy away from visitors. So cute! They go wherever the nuts are placed. And of course the nuts are placed in places near the sight of visitors. Again, this squirrel was just above us.
We saw many species of monkeys in the initial part of our visit. There are 2 particular species that made loud noisy sounds and we were wondering where those noises came from. I thought it came from lots of cries of many children. As we walked nearer to these sounds, we saw Flamingos and Jun Wen exclamied, "So they came from the flamingos!" Lol! I told him it was impossible for flamingos to make such sounds since they are quiet animals and the fact that they didn't even open their mouths confirm that my analysis is right!
I finally persuaded Jun Wen that those sounds came from the monkeys situated on trees in front of the flamingos. Lols! The monkeys on the trees were shouting for the monkeys on the ground to climb up to join them.
A small tortoise escaped from the barely enclosed enclosure and Jun Wen played with it. I was terrified! Lols! I bet it was terrified too! Imagine a giant picked u up after u tried hard to escape from the zoo. Poor tortoise.
Very long necked turtle.
Otters! :D
Got this knitwear from lipsyditsy. This blogshop has the loveliest things! :o
The fish that according to Jun Wen, looks really funny.
The turtle which can fly in the waters.
The hippo walking in the pool. It always walks with both left legs and loves the attention it gets from visitors!
The white tiger. The 2 females were asleep. Only this male one which looks much bigger sized is awake and parading on the edge of its habitat.
We saw from the information board that this particular tiger loves swimming too.
The otters were asleep when we first got there. But were awake when we passed by its enclosure the 2nd time. They can move very fast. Sometimes they move in a speed that our human eyes cannot process fast enough.
These are.. I forgot the exact names! They are wild boars with tusks. :D
Cute swimmer monkey.
I forgot how red monkeys' butts are. Lols! They were so red and shaped like hearts.
Took some patience and luck to take this photo. Looked as though it was sitting beside him the whole time.
Headed to the next secion of the zoo to see kangeroos.
I love kangeroos. They are so cute!
The fences are so low and we wondered why kangeroos wouldn't want to jump out of such fences and try to escape. Is the life in the zoo too comfy? U don't have to look for food and have a large capacity of people admiring u!
