Last weekend was superb! I've never had so much fun for quite a long time.
-
On Saturday, the family went to Night Safari! It was actually a spontaneous decision.
-
We left house around 5 plus to go for dinner. In the end, we ate at Night Safari itself. Woah, the price is atrocious! One dish of grilled stingray and a bowl of rice cost S$17. By right, we shouldn't have gone there to eat, but we can't find any parking spot at other eating places.
-
The tickets with the tram ride cost us around S$100 plus. And despite being excited in going inside, I felt a little guilty for spending so much.
-
Night Safari as usual was chock-full of tourists from everywhere. It's bad for us but I guess, it is good for the attraction and Singapore in general. We can't stand waiting in the snaking queue, in this humid condition, for the free show so we just left for the leopard trail instead. Besides, don't get me started on the queue for the tram ride.
-
After walking the whole trail in the twilight hour, we were perspiring due to the moisture and lack of breeze. It was a good walk though. Too many animals were sleeping and my particular favourite creatures are the mewing otters and a very tiny mousedeer.
-
The queue for the tram ride was still quite long so we went out for snacks and drinks first. I bought ice-cream from Ben's and Jerry's and sat at Bongo Burgers where my brothers and parents drank S$5 per cup of ice peach tea.
-
These tourists' spending power must be so great that they can afford all these highly-price items. I shake my head in disbelief and in awe.
-
By now, the queue had shorten somewhat and so we joined it. The tram came and we hopped up. -
If there is one thing I can change, I will change the freaking attitude and lack of consideration of some of these people. What is wrong with them?! The rules said "No flash photography is allowed" and still they go on flashing away. If it was up to me, I will ask them to leave the premises for not following the common sense.
-
It was still the fun ride I loved and enjoyed over the years. Night Safari is my favourite because of its air of mysteriousness and concept. Now, if only the the weather is a little cooler and dryer.

On Sunday, to celebrate Fathers' Day, the whole family went to Bosses at Vivocity. It seems that the "children" can't get enough of the dishes there. The parents said that this will be the last time in a long while before we eat at the restaurant again.
My parents and I, together with my Aunt who was sharing the car ride with us went to Vivocity earlier as I wanted to get black covered heels. I need new black heels for the DHL ceremony.
After browsing through a few shoes shops, I finally settled for a pair from Everbest. Well, they are not exactly cheap but there was a 30% discount. My mother too bought a pair of shoes from there.
I decided to buy a Montagut polo shirt as a Fathers' Day present and he accepted.
The others came and we ordered almost the same dishes as the last times. I still like the dishes there. We enjoyed ourselves tremulously, laughing and eating. It is moments like this treasured most with my family.
There was cake after meal, made by my other Aunt and cousin. It was good.
Monday was the start of the school term for me, so we went home without staying back further.
