Zoolympix 2011

Yes, the day is finally here, after all the countdown and crosses on the calendar !!! I woke up super early that day, at about 630 am, and could not go back to sleep. Cannot wait to meet 表妹 and family at the zoo entrance at 830 am .... and there was 2 hours more to wait !!

Had milk and bread at home, before we set off to the zoo. Met 表妹 and family on time and in we go. The Zoolympix 2011 was on during the school holidays (and that was the reason we chose to go to the zoo during this period). Immediately, we took a photo of the Zoolympix board

Embarking on a fun-filled adventure

Photo taking sessions with 表妹




Food for the elephants !!! That means feeding time


表妹 did not dare to feed the elephants

Went to the Crops area

No smell from the orchid .... haha

The close encounter with the pony

Daddy tried to get 表妹 to touch the pony, but failed .... think the pony is still too big for her


The zoo renovated the rabbit enclosure and now it is more beautiful than before.

And they allowed kids to have close contact with the rabbits as well


The Animal Friends show. As usual, before the show started, all kids were invited to go on stage to dance with the trainer. So I was the first to go up ...



And I kept raising my hand up in the sky to be selected as a volunteer. Finally my turn came ... and I was to throw frisbee to the German Sheppard


Succeeded at the 2nd attempt
And all volunteers were given a frisbee as a gift

Went to feed the giraffe next ...

My Zoolympix booklet, ready to play all the games at the 6 stations !!!

And leaping like a tiger !!! Errr ... with a distance of 0.8 m, more like leaping like a kitten instead ???


Fishing being blindfolded ....

Shoot the targets (insects) down with my water gun



And trying out how to be a swinging orang utan !!!




Pollinate the flowers by putting coloured balls in the correct coloured flowers

Experience walking like an elephant with big feet (by wearing big boots)

Of course we have to end the adventure with fun at the Water Playground. Unfortunately 表妹 had to take her afternoon nap so she did not join me.

We left the zoo at about 3+ pm to catch my afternoon nap while 表妹 and family continued with their adventure ... she was like a re-chargeable Energizer battery, ready to go exploring the zoo till 5 pm once she has taken her power nap
