The day is 8 June, Saturday.
The colour code is yellow, applies to the whole family.
There are 7 toddlers!
And we are going to the ZOOOOOooo….!!!
It was fun fun fun! We went straight from our morning swim, and J is fresh but only had a ½ hour nap in the morning. Not sure if he can last till after the Elephant show. But he did! Auntie June was so nice, she nearly planned out the whole route for us with her knowledge of each attractions show times and locations.
We had lunch together at Forest Fare…or was it Jungle Fare, I always mixing it up. Auntie Brenda has reserved tables for 4 families, and the place was set up very nicely. We have a corner all to ourselves, and 6 tables were set up with 3 adult chairs and 1 high chair. Cosy. Each family took one table and off we started. I started feeding Jovann first his pork, carrots and daikon stew with porridge, while hubby started on the laksa. The laksa was not bad, hubby took a hotter bowl for me later when I am done with feeding Jovann.
I was quite happy with the meal that time, that’s why I even remembered what I ate. A bowl of laksa, chicken rice, stir fry thai chicken, bread with butter, mushroom soup, chicken congee (sounds like a lot of chicken) and for dessert Bread and Butter pudding!!! Slurp. *Burp*
All the while we were eating, Jovann was making himself heard by calling Arianne to him again and again. He called her by “Airy!! Airy!!!”, I had to remind him to add the “Rianne” at the back, which he sometimes do as an afterthought. So funny. Arianne will respond to his calls, and trots over to him and gaze up at him. Then Jovann will either stare back at her, or look away. Then when she walks away bored, Jovann will shout for her again. It went back and forth until I was almost done and put him on the floor with her. Then the 2 of them prompty zoomed around the whole place, with Rae-Ann and Clarence. It was so cute…Hubby took some photos while they were admiring the elephant rides outside the window.
We started off and met up with Der Nen and Clarice on the way to the Splish Splash Aqaurium, where we arrived 10mins before showtime and found ourselves stranded outsite coz the whole place was seated to overflowing oredi! We decided to explore the rest of the zoo instead of waiting.
Went to the Australian Outback, Elephants of Asia (where Reubern joined us in time to catch the 3.30pm show), we saw snakes and orang utans and tigers. As well as baboons, deers, kangaroos and a bird that starts with a C which I cannot remember the name now heheehehee. We wanted to go Children’s world but decided to avoid it due to the recent HFMD outbreak. I munched on ice cream and hubby and I downed 3 bottles of cold mineral water.
Then of course on the way back we saw giraffes and zebras and lions and saw a monkey feeding and photography session. Jovann had such fun running around, he only napped towards the end, in the stroller, when we are walking back to the exit. We had reached the zoo around 12.45pm, and left that place around 6pm! Gosh! Hehehe Auntie Peach actually left us around 5.30pm, but we bumped into her at the shopping area near the exit, where we grabbed her to go dinner with us.
Dinner was at Orchid ville and the kids had fun running up and down the stage and making so much noise! Jovann woke up late (Daddy accompanied him in the car to let him rest), and after his dinner he joined them too. He had a lot of fun running from one end of the stage to the other, with Daddy watching over him. Its amazing what toddlers can find to entertain them. At one point, he fell and hurt his cheek. I heard his cry and recognise it from all the way from the dinner table 20 metres away, and ran towards the stage to sayang him.
We left around 8pm, after a nice round of dinner and dessert (my favourite sea coconut, aloe vera and longan).
Whew, what a day!!!
