During d Labour's day hol- 1st May 2010 (Saturday) brought Arissa for her 1st Zoo trip. Told Mr Hubby, since Arissa is sooo into animals & is now able to identify animals...she ready for a trip to d Zoo. Mummy was d one who was all excited; got up early prepared light breakfast of specially fried sausages, egg sandwich & some snacks. Arissa who slept early d night before was still not up...so, had 2 wait for her to wake up. By d time we arrived it was 9.30am & d sun was already up.
It costs RM 25 per person (for adults) & RM 15 for video-cam, mahal jgak & tot it was gonna be worth it kot. The journey begins...First stop was d 'animal-touching' station. Proud of Arissa, she was not afraid of d snake & even touched it few times...
Next, was d parrot...mummy yg excited
On d tramp...goin on tour of d Zoo
Arissa beriyer & excited seeing d pelicans
Girraffe & Camels
Arissa da start tired..'Kung mummy, Carry mummy'!
Lil Korean gal on d loose at d end of d Zoo trip....Tired out! Da naik 'ride' dia da - tak mau jalan
All in all, OK la. But sad & disheartening to see dat d Zoo was poorly managed & maintained. The 'kandang's look so buruk coz tak dibersihkan, paling pathetic d animals - they were OLD/ Veteren & Not WELL-FED (kurus-kering jer semua). Seriously, Arissa was so excited to see tiger but tiger was 'lemau' to d extend (bak kata Mr Hubby's office mate)..."tinggal tak meng-iau" je...hehe!
However, Ayah bought some leaves & sugarcane for Arissa to feed the giraffes & elephant. And yes, Arissa enjoyed feeding them...d animals ate them in a 'ZAP'! Siannn, lapa. So, those who have not been to Zoo Negara...nothing to lose coz its not up to mark. Tak rugi kalau tak pegi...hmm!
Hopefully one day can let Arissa experience 'Singapore National Zoo'...many say its definately worth it. So, ayah nanti bawak mummy & Arissa pegi yer...pleaseeeeeeee!
