Zoo Outing

17th Sep 2006

Like last year, we brought Trenyce to Singapore Zoological Gardens, as part of her birthday celebration. She has been bugging us to bring her to the zoo since the day we told her. This is her 2nd time to the Zoo, the last trip was about a year ago also to celebrate her birthday. Seems like this will become a tradition for my little gal’s birthday celebration. Hmm…not a bad idea eh?

This year, we can see that Trenyce enjoys herself more as she is able to identify the animals that she saw everyday on Barney’s video. She gets extremely excited when she is able to associate these animals with what she could recall from the video. As a mother, you feel contented watching her every expression!

I think the best thing of all is we finally managed to catch 2 of the 3 major animal shows in the zoo that we missed out last year! The 'Animal Friends Show" and "Wonders of the Wild Show". I suppose we came too late last year (around 2pm) and this year we came around 11am. Trenyce was quite scared initially as she has never watched a live animal show (not to mention those small & adorable ones that we saw at the pet shops) and clinged onto us very tightly until we explained to her what the animals are doing then she kind of relax and released a little bit.

This is the seal performance, one of the key performance at the Wonders of the Wild Show.



After the Animal Friends Show, we hang around the Animal Land at Children's World to visit the small animals. Look, she really enjoyed feeding the goats!



Right at the entrance/exit area, they have this battery-operated animal (this you need to slot a coin in for it to move) which is something different from the usual ones you seen elsewhere as those are usually the cars or motorcycles etc. The best thing is I can also sit together with her to ‘operate’ (otherwise, will knock onto other animals) this battery-operated tiger! Hahaha..imagine me a giant kid on the animal :p



We finally called it off a day around 3.30pm. Not just Trenyce, all of us were also exhausted from all the walking :’) Well, till next year then! Ciao Zoo!
