Boring title... but this year's Christmas was not too boring with so many gifts for our girls... hee!
We did not go to Orchard Road for the lighting which would be overwhelmed by the crowd. We went there in advance, about a month ago and was turned down by the downpour and crowd... Yes, Singapore is ever crowded, even when you are at home...
On the eve of Christmas, Dear brought Renee and I to the River Safari... WuhOO~* I was so excited that we could bring Renee for a boat ride and see the 2 pandas... YipEe~* (Phoebe was too young for a boat ride, so she was left at home... Sorry, baby!)
Then, we realized that the child had to be taller than 1.06m to be
eligible for the boat ride. Pui~* Therefore, our shorty girl who was
standing at below 90cm should just walk around and so were her
parents... That's why kids below 3 yrs old have free admission...
So we took our dry ride like this...
So River Safari is about rivers from all over the world... Mississippi River,
Mekong
River, Yangtze River, Nile River, etc... ermm, I don't remember seeing
Singapore River in the safari, maybe we can easily catch it at
Fullerton/ Clarke Quay MRT...
As
we entered some air-conditioned sections, it looked so similar to under
water world or sea aquarium at Sentosa. Only that there's literally
nothing to be watched from the glass tunnel at River Safari.... WHY!??
Nevertheless, no fish to watch meaning no crowd meaning we could take a
family pic at our own sweet time... Weet~*
One is not enough... so here's another one... See how much time we had when we were not allowed to take the boat ride... argHHHh~* (See the tunnel at the background, isn't it crystal clear without a single fish in it?)
Dear commented that these Piranha (man eating fish) were so still that they were really good for photo taking. The only subject that would not be blur at such low lighting environment. So we took a shot...
Then at the mini aquarium, we tried to show Renee the Otters...
They were so huge and fat that they were floating at the top (for feeding)... Trying to relate it to something that Renee would be familiar with, I said "Look, Renee! That's like your bolster, right?".... oh shut up!
And there Renee by herself, printing her tiny palm prints onto the glass and watch the empty riverbed.... "哇... 游泳！游泳！"
As we continued the walk... I spotted this Carmen and Carlos board... so I took a pic and sent it to my sis... maybe her missing half has the name Carlos... Hmmz.... She didn't reply my msg.... she probably didn't get the message... Wahhahhaa!
If you asked, where's the pics of the Pandas? I also wondered... One (I think that was Kai Kai), was concussed on the bamboo raft, showing his precious private part to all visitors... The other one (then it must be Jia Jia), was also concussed but in her den, on a long bench, facing down, which we could only view from a small TV captured by their CCTV (see below)... Are these bears still alive actually?
The red Panda was more exciting than the 2 black and white (or yellow) pandas... Renee tried to keep her voice low but a kid being a kid, still say "Hi" and "Bye" loudly to the bears... Muhahhah!
Actually, I do not know the 2 spoilers behind us... we just wanted to take a pic with the 2 pandas...
Merry Christmas! None of these belong to me or dear...
