Happy 43rd National Day (Part 2) 9 August 08

Visiting one of the 7 wonders of Singapore - The National Zoo

Our all time favourite - The white tiger.

Err.. what is that ? Bro 1 is trying to explain to Bro2 the difference between the tiger and the leopard.. "Both are under the Cat family. Leopards are the ones with black spots."

The Elephant Show. It was fun watching the elephants showing their various tricks.

Sis2 reading the info. Whats' that Farisa?

Hmm.. the siblings showcasing the giraffe act ?

3 hours later.. our map reader Bro2 is feeling the heat... he he

'daddy, carry me please! '

Yup, finally I've got you!! Ha ha .. Don't you dare try to escape again !!

My parents suggested going for a short trip across the causeway but all of us disagreed accept for bro2. We told them we did not want to miss watching National Day parade on TV and also the debut of Channel 5 TV programmes 'Calefare' and 'First Class'.

Mum then suggested visiting the Singapore Zoo and everyone agreed. We headed to the zoo in the morning after having a sumptuous breakfast at Macdonald. The zoo was very crowded. We had an enjoyable time there especially bro2 who last visited when he was just a year old.
In the afternoon, the siblings were glued to the TV, watching live telecast of National Day parade. Though we were not at the Esplanade, we sang the various national songs along with those audiences who were watching at the esplanade and also read the pledge. We stood up and sang with pride when the national anthem was played - Mum commented that we should be given a medal for being the most patriotic and loyal siblings in Singapore.
