On National day, while most people will either stay at home to catch the parade on TV or out somewhere to catch the fireworks display, I was at……. as obvious as it can be, the Night Safari!! =)
Cool…. Awesome! hahaha… A very impromptu decison coz it was decided that very afternoon.. Think it was some promotional stint by STB, all I had to do was to sms something to a designated number.. and I got this sms which admits 4 for free! How cool was that? Of coz… It was only for the first 2009 visitors who showed the sms upon entry =P
And fortunately, we made it just in time to be the first 2009! It was pretty expected coz I guessed most will stay at home to catch the parade on TV.. As we were early, we managed to get the tix soon after… Heard there were some who didnt managed to get it due to overwhelming response later that evening.. haha… See see.. better to be early!
Anyway, picture time =)
We entered the premises early, and had a good dinner at Bongo Burger located near the entrance (public area).. =) The serve pretty nice pasta!
It was still bright when we had our dinner…
As usual, Mr Koh held his camera high everywhere he went…
Weiting and Huixian =) Huixian looks like she is flexing her muscles… hahaha…
We officially proceeded into the Night Safari after we filled our stomachs….. *excited* It was my first time to the Night Safari……..
The tram waiting area was packed with people…. and the skies slowly grew darker… Uh oh…. haha…
We took more pictures before the skies grew any darker.. haha.. It was a challenge taking nice pictures in the dark lo.. And for your information, no flashes are allowed in the park~
Jasmine and Pinhan joined us later =)
It felt vv different walking in the night.. haha! If you have night blindness, it is likely that you wont be seeing anything.. haha.. Not trying to say that it’s pitch dark inside, but seriously, the lights were only bright enough to light the walkway… haha.. The animals have excellent camouflaging skills too.. so it’s pretty challenging to spot them too…
My dearest C905 had to surrender.. haha.. It had a long rest inside the Night Safari =P
See the pictures below and you know why I gave up.. haha… btw, these were one of the few best pics of the night…
Tell me if you’ve seen anything… haha! There’s something on the branch.. *squint*
If you have supersonic eyes.. You’ll see a vv cute golden flying squirrel… haha! Don’t bother.. It’s quite impossible.. =P
Below is a picture of the aquarium at one of the pavilions for resting and toilet breaks.. haha… At least there was some light =)
Finally, some pictures of humans… and the lighting was good~
Yeah yeah! I’ve finally visited the Night Safari….
We went for the night show later that night.. It was the only night show in Night Safari… Unlike the zoo, where there are shows for various animals types.. (sea, land…), there was only one at the Night Safari..
Basically the highlights of the show were all the nocturnal animals.. haha.. Very cool weather, very lively host and a bunch of entertained audience… great show!
That’s how I spent my National Day this year.. No fireworks and all, but a great evening at the Night Safari with a bunch of great pals =)
Happy Birthday Singapore~
