SZ Tale 03

Zoo started on a Saturday noon for this week. And the first item on list is a Neuro linguist lesson. To summarize, is to teach you how to interact with people via their body language.

Then is dinner and a Night Safari tour. Took the tram ride to the Leopard trail. A tram was specially booked for us and the guide was entertaining, providing us with a lot of information and the reasons that they were hunted. At the Leopard trail, NS guide brought us to visit the clouded leopard, a very lovely and elegant creature.

Saw the slow loris... they moved so slow and steady that you can't help but be mesmerised by them and to slow your pace down too. NS guide shared with us a lot of other facts and myths e.g. porcupine and their quills (porcupine cannot shoot quill - reminded me of a scene in Over the hedge)

At the Bat Mangrove Walk, the bats were free flying and hanging low. These fruit-eating bats were lovely creatures (Still remember writing an article on them in my first website.. wonder where the article is already...)

Sadly, it started to drizzle and we couldn't catch sight of the giant flying squirrels. Sighz and supposedly there was a new addition recently. After that we took the tram back and saw more animals e.g. the spotted deers (bambi?) before saying bye to NS's mascot - Chawang, the Bull Asian elephant.

Back to the zoo, we had supper before taking a night walk in the zoo. It was close to full moon and walking under bright moonlight was a treasured experience. At first I was told that one cannot see any animals because they will be caged up. Thus it was just a walk among the rainforest hearing the ghost stories that the keeper was sharing with us. Was quite upset though on the way back, my friend and I were wondering if the silhouette up on the branch belongs to an animal.

For FPL, decided to stay overnight in zoo, something which I was indecisive the whole day. But by morning, I did not regret my decision because we managed to ask for permission to take a morning walk round the zoo. So happy.. even though we missed the sunrise. And I did confirm that the silhouette I saw last night belonged to the gibbons. Haha, and the moment we passed by, the silhouettes woke up too and started jumping branches... so cute...

Anyway did not catch the sunrise but did took some landscape pictures... near the garden with a view, where Ah Meng was buried. Ah Meng has a good view...
