A Journey Into The Animal Kingdom @ Singapore Zoo

Hello everyone, my family and I just went to the zoo yesterday and I’m going to blog about it. My sister was thinking of a place for a family outing, she asked the rest of the family where we wanted to go for an outing, the rest of us had no idea where we wanted to go so, in the end we decided to go to the zoo. My sister tasked me with finding all of the needed info I had to find out ticket prices and all that kind of stuff. Everything was set for the outing. I asked my sister for the timing to wake up and she said 8am but, I though she said 7:30am so, I set my clock 1 hour back to wake me up at 6am. The next morning my alarm sounded and I was trying to wake my mum and younger brother up, then I saw my sister’s message, I was like “ Oh dear I woke them up at the wrong time!” After I said sorry to both my brother and mum I went to get onto my wheelchair to get ready. At 8:05 my grandaunt came to pick us up to send us to the zoo.

Once we arrived we had a light snack before heading into the zoo. My sister went to get the tickets; the ticket price was $110 when I searched for it online but thanks to my mum’s NTUC membership card we were able to get a discount. At 9:00 am I was the first one to go into the zoo my sister told me that I only had 10 seconds to get pass the barrier, I managed to wheel myself pass the barrier. The first animal that we came across was the Crocodiles. There was one crocodile that was completely still, my brother and I wondered weather was it a real or a fake crocodile, to find out we looked at it closely then we saw it snapped it’s jaws than we were like “ Ok it’s real!!”

The next animal we went to look at were the White Tigers, I told my grandaunt “ I’m going to look at my brother right now.” The reason I made that joke was because my brother was born in the year of the tiger in the Chinese zodiac. When we got to the white tiger’s area, one was sleeping and the other one was walking around, my brother said, “This is like me every morning.”  After we left the tiger area we went to the Ah Meng restaurant to have our meal, I had my all- time favourite dish chicken rice.

After a nice meal we went to the insects dome to see the butterflies, one of them actually landed on my brother’s shoulders my brother was screaming and holding onto my grandaunt’s legs ha ha. At this point my forearms wanted to die after all of the wheeling and pushing. None of us wanted to see the snakes, my sister wanted to  see the snakes then my sister went to see the snakes by herself while my grandaunt and I waited at the loin’s area. Now I was so tried that I started yawning, the sleeping lion woke up to roar at me. Our last animal encounter for the day was the polar bear. It was freezing cold in there.

After a long day at the zoo we went to Swensen’s for dinner, when it was time for me to have my hot fudge subdue my dad handed me a really long spoon. I kept dropping it. It  was a really fun day See You Soon.

A day at the singapore Air Force Museum

Hello everyone, I just woke up from my nap the reason I took a nap was because I went for an outing with my school to the Air Force Museum.  

Woke up extremely late today got scolded by my dad. Left for school as usual. Once I arrived at school I saw my classmates heading into the school hall, I wondered what was going on? So, I went into the hall then I saw all the junior classes performing Gangnam Style. After the performance, we boarded the bus to make our way to the museum. There were not enough seats on the bus so some of us had to sit on wheelchairs.
Once we arrived at the museum, I saw my teacher’s son and husband, I was trying to say hello to my teacher’s son but he kept running away from me! Ha Ha. Anyway I saw so many airplanes my class teacher tried to explain what the aircrafts were used for but I didn'tu understand anything. Afterwards we went into a theatre to watch a short clip about the evolution of the air force, from the time it was founded to the present day.

After watching the clip we went to the 2^nd level to know about the history of the air force. There were also some parts of an air force airplane. After the tour, I noticed that I had $12 in my wallet then I was like“ What the heck I’m already here might as well buy something to remember this trip.” I had a hard time selecting my gift but I decided to get a SAF badge. It was an awesome trip  one worth remembering See You Soon 

A touch of Nature @ Gardens by the Bay

Hey guys, there's noting like a day out to get some fresh air and admire what nature has to offer, That's what I did 1 day ago.

Yeah I'm here at last

Nice waterfall 

Had to wake up at 5am to get ready to go for outing to gardens by the bay, it took me 1 hour to get there. I was walking when suddenly one of the bases of  my shoes fell out, luckily they had an extra wheelchair for me to sit on. Then we were dived into 6 teams in order to play a treasure hunting game. As I was holding to a copy of the map, it took me 30 minutes to find the first place. We took a group photo following that I went to the next checkpoint which was Chinese garden, the thing I admire most about that garden was really nice view of MBS.  By the I was done admiring the view it became extremely hot, I prayed to god to get air-conditioning soon. Then I headed to our next meeting  point which was the lunch table I had 2 burgers 1 drink 1 packet of fries. After lunch my wish for a air- conditioned venue came true when I went into the flower dome. I said to myself " Finally air- conditioning" there many types of flowers in the dome. About 1 hour we got lost on the way on to the bus bay. That's all form me bye:)

About to head into the Flower dome

YUM

BAD BOY Boo-yeah

A day at the Discovery Centre

Last Saturday, I woke up at seven in the morning because I had to go on an outing to the Discovery Centre with a social worker from Society for the Physically Disabled (SPD) and volunteers from Freedom Adventure Club.

We took a bus and arrived at the Science Centre at around 9.30am. The entrance fee was not cheap at $13 per person. Nonetheless, I did not have to pay a single cent. We went into the Discovery Centre and looked at the exhibits. The first exhibit was one I liked a lot. I had to pretend to a reporter and try to report old news stories with the words speeding at 10 km/h on screen! It was so fast I could not even say a thing! Despite that, it was great fun because we could play back our recordings!!! There was another attraction which caught my eye. It was called the Singa-Bot. It was a robot which could answer all our questions about Singapore and even dance and rap!

“Why are Singaporeans so obese?” I asked Singa-bot cheekily, not expecting it to have an answer.

“It must be the nasi lemak they eat every morning,” replied Singa-bot, much to my surprise and amusement.

I thought of Mr. Lee, my language teacher at school, and wondered if he ate nasi lemak every morning! He probably eats nasi lemak then sleeps every morning to maintain that round figure of his haha!

Following that, I went to the Army Museum within the Discovery Centre. There were displays of tanks and guns. In fact, there was a display of a hundred rifles at the entrance of the Museum and they could be “fired” electronically. I also found out what NS men have to go through in order to protect our country.  One of the most interesting exhibits was a slideshow that showed how Singapore could collapse in twenty years if we don’t grow our own food, have our own electricity or water. I understood what the message meant and believe that Singapore should be less dependent on other countries for necessities like food, electricity and water.

Finally, we watched a 3D show called Tornado Alley. We followed the world-famous storm chasers on their latest mission to find out more about what causes tornadoes and storms. It was an exciting show!

Before we took the bus home, we had lunch. To my surprise, it was something that was mentioned earlier this morning – nasi lemak! It was lip-smackingly delicious and I imagined Mr. Lee drooling over it. Mr. Lee wasn’t there to enjoy it! Too bad!

Overall, it had been a great trip and I thoroughly enjoyed myself!SPD's website FAC
