20090613 zoo

Mommy have arranged with si yee yee to go Zoo but Cousin Charlie started having fever the day before... so mommy decided to bring Kate to the Zoo alone as she still woke up early that day.

Posing with the Ben and Jerry's cows at the entrance.
Taking a picture with the parrots. This spot, which was previously immediately after the entrance, is now moved further in, and the staff will also take the picture with your own camera (on top of their own which you have to purchase the photos if you are happy with them).
An orang utan swinging among the trees.

White tiger enclosure. Kate wanted to be carried most of the time so it is almost impossible to have pictures with her and the animals inside.
Elephant enclosure. Kate already knows how to pronounce the word 'elephant' (not recognise the word though) so its a good chance to show her the real animal behind that word.

There was this hut with a steep staircase up, which Kate attempted with the help of mommy. On the upper floor was some big cards for kids to play with, and 2 stands of adult and baby elephant. The cutout for adult elephant is too tall for Kate, naturally, but she is able to strike a good pose with the baby elephant cutout. :)

The penguins (poor things, its a hot day!)

Kate posing in front of the seal sculptures. She seems to like the fake animals more than the real ones. :P

Next, we go the fragile forest. There are many butterflies (which Kate pronounced as "utter-ly".

A duck ....

A bird walking around on the grounds of the fragile forest and not afraid of the visitors at all
A baby lemur (the same kind of the cartoon movie Madagascar) who is just learning to venture out from his/her mother's back.

fruit bats...

near the exit of the fragile forest...
Mommy also brought her to the kids play area but she is afraid of the water and did not play there.

Next, the giraffes....



the polar bear enclosure....






Kate posing with another Ben and Jerry's cow after leaving the zoo....

It was a hot hot day! Thank goodness Mommy and Kate went early to beat most of the crowds and the sweltering heat!

ahahhah cos we didn't go for any show and Kate is quite uninterested in the animals so she did not demand that we stay long in each place.

Mommy seemed to enjoy the visit more than Kate :P
