Zoolympics 2009


It is the annual zoolympics event once again and is the first time I participated in it.



Seeing the table of "goods", it isn't very hard to guess where I am stationed in right? None other than Rainforest Kidzworld Stables!


Pull-A-Sack
The aim of the game is to let you understand how much burden a horse can carry.
For over 4000 years, horses have been transporting people and their goods. Till "the age of the horse"ended in the early 1800s, horses were essential for agriculture work. Horses were also used to pull all kinds of vehicles, ranging from carriages, coal barges and even fire engines! Although modern machines have taken the place of the horse, we still measure the pulling power of an engine in "horsepower".

There are 3 types of burden for different ages. Although most of them are children, sometimes the child is too young so we will allow the parent to accompany the child to pull together. And once, there was this teenage guy who was playing just for fun. Haha.


While visiting the docent on duty in Rainforest Kidzworld, I asked him more about the rabbit and learnt that carrot is actually the rabbit's dessert. And dessert is taken only in small portion haha. So their main course is usually veggies. Hmm..


Cute hedgehog!!


Guess this is food for what animal?


The goats haha.

Overall, the event ended so-so. As it was the 2nd day, so I'm not very sure the total performance. Just hope the results were good.
