Im turning into a nocturnal guppy. Staying up wayyyy too late at night and sleeping in wayyy too much . so much so that my first meal of the day is a late lunch. this is NOT good.
Well today i did not manage to rot in bed till the late afternoon, I recieved an sms around 8ish in the morning. it was a continuation of a heated "discussion" on friendships, rules, expectations, gifts, terrorism and buddiehood. Did i really win this discussion? Did the messenger really see that all the silly rules, all the silly "cannots" are killing this guppy? can all the silly hangups be banished forever ? Can we now finally see eye to eye on what "buddiehood" really is? only time will tell... but for now, I am pleased this one is still sticking around.
So that took care of my morning dreariness.... by the time i dragged myself out of bed, late afternoon saw me rotting at the salon, paying some hapless manucurist to remove my acrylic gel nails, and then it was more brainless shopping followed by a totally lazy full body massage...and endless snacking on coffee and cakes.
Boy was I glad when Porkchop suggested an all new activity we could do in the evening ---- We shall visit the Night Safari !
We arrived at the Night Safari in Mandai at around 630pm...and wasted no time to camwhore!
Porkchop posing outside the main entrance....
There was a sizable crowd at the night safari. I was surprised, lotsa tourists as well as locals were queing to pay the crazy insane bloody sucking entry fee ( SGD22 bucks entry + SGD 12 bucks for tram ride) into the night safari.
THe tickets looked soooo pretttyyy...hee heee ...
As we havent had dinner yet, we decided to grab some food from this very inviting burger joint at the place....called...
Bongo Burgers!!!!
The fish and chips were ...so so...nothing to shout about ...but not yucky...just well normal...
Porkchop was not pleased with his Safari Lamb Burger...he made a sulky face when it arrived...hahahah
But man the burger was yum! salty and had special kebab like spices mixed into the patty...i am strangely drawn to it hahahhhaa
we had to join the insane queue of tourists to board the trams that will take us on a round trip around the night safari grounds! 
"My burger is tooo tiny! what a rip off!" cried porkchop...
But man the burger was yum! salty and had special kebab like spices mixed into the patty...i am strangely drawn to it hahahhhaa After dinner, it was on with our tour!
we had to join the insane queue of tourists to board the trams that will take us on a round trip around the night safari grounds! 
We queued for over 30 mins before it was our turn to board the tram...Througout the tour we saw so many cute and beautiful fascinating wild animals...Asian Rhinos, Clouded Leopards...sugar gliders, squirrels, lions, hyeenas, bears...deers...
i tried to take some pics but as flash camear photo taking was not allowed in the night safari tramrides, i didnt manage to get one decent shot at all! aaarggh!!!
We got off halfway through the tramride, decided to go it on foot, coz i really really wanted to get some cute animal shots on this trip...but alas, it still really was not possibel to capture anything on my point and shoot cam...sigh
defeated, i started to just take pics of porkchop and myself, with signages.. .stealing a few occassional illegal flash photography shots..hahaha
yeap managed to catch cloud leopard asleep...he didnt even wake up when my flash went off....so cutesy. reminds me of how kitties at home would sleep by my pc notebook hahaha
I was wearing this orange top which made me look like a huge grapefruit or orange...hahahah i dared not enter the bat enclosure ...just incase the bats think im an edible orange...sigh
pics of both porkchop and myself camwhoring on a suspension bridge high above the "Rainforest " called the "bridge of suspense " ....* sweat* i wonder who came up with these super creative names...
It was close to 10pm by the time Porkchop and I made it back to the safari entrance on foot , there was no timeto loose, i headed straight for the SAFARI gift shop :P but didnt find anything striking, special or cute enough to spend my moolah on...sigh so yes im proud to report. i did not buy any souvenior stuffed toys this time !
But i did manage to capture some CLEAR pics ..finally! no more blurry black shots in the dark safari ...
All in all, i had a great time with Porkchop at the Night Safari. But i cant help but feel that the daytime, Singapore Zoological Gardens, ( right next door to the night safari) gives me more bang for my buck. i prefer to see my cute furry animals ...in their original glorious colour,...not squint and try to spot them in the grey and the dark.
still...it really is a place you should just go see..at least once :) 2 more days to go till 2010 begins. I am excited!
