It's been a long time since I blogged.
At least, late than never, right?
Well, guess who.
Today, I brought my darlings to the Singapore Zoo after school. We had not been to the zoo for a while (since last year). We went there to see the four koalas that are available for public viewing starting from yesterday.

Koala: How did she climb
so high up? |
Although the Koala Enclosure was not very big, it was a pleasure to be able to see the four cute little furry creatures at close range. Still can remember our tour to Melbourne then to see the Koalas. We were not able to 'see' them as they were all high up on the eucalyptus trees. At least, here we could see them well, hee... as the highest they could go is just a few metres above ground. We had managed to capture a few good shots of them, although at times they seemed to be 'camera-shy'.
Arrgh....aren't they cute?
We loved the part where one of the koalas went to hug a smaller one nearby. My Cutie said she was the bigger sized koala (indicating she was hugging my Sweetie). So sweet.
My darlings were both busy capturing them on their camera phones. Yes, they are no longer little babies and they have their own phones.
As the zoo closed at 6pm, we did not get to tour the whole place. Though we only spent a few hours at the zoo, we had managed to go round seeing other animals and the various shows. We had seen quite a number of animals like the white tigers, orang utans, komodo dragons, wallabies, goats and most importantly, our four marsupial friends - Shan, Idalia, Paddle and Pellita. Do keep your fingers crossed and pray that they will stay permanently at the zoo.
Well, guess who.

In total, we had a great time skiing for 2 days here and all of us were quite so confident of our skills that we even had a race among ourselves. On the 3rd day at the Ski Resort, we decided to take the gondola to go to the highest peak of the mountain. For your information, you will need to pay to use the gondola to go up and also to go down. It was quite a weird experience for us, as guess we were the only ones taking the gondola two-ways (all those in the queues were going to ski down the slope).
How time flies. They are quite independent now to try new rides, some of which, they have to be on their own. It was the first time they tried the bumper car rides.
We had also tried the hotair balloon ride (see photo on the right). Although it wasn't really 'hotair', the designs (look at the other hotair balloons in the photo) was similar to one. It was quite an experience when the hotair balloon ascend towards the ceiling of the theme park and also descend at the end of the ride.
Since our many visits to Legoland this year, my Cutie has started to have fears of roller-coaster rides (although the rides we went were just supermini type, that even my Sweetie was okay with the rides). As she was quite a pro in reading the map, there was no way we could get her into a ride that involves a little roller-coaster ride. After much persuasion, my Cutie, being a brave little girl, decided to give the Adventures of Sindbad a try. Everyone was proud of my Cutie of her achievement at overcoming her fears. What an adventure for my Cutie and Sweetie.
For my Sweetie, it was also her first --- to roll down a staircase. Luckily, she had her thick winter wear which helped to cushion her and slowed her down the roll at the stairs, gee... Mommy could only watch in horror with my Cutie as we were at the top of the stairs. That scene was like the Korean drama, as she rolled SLOWLY down. What a scare she gave to Mommy. Naughty. Naughty.
