Night safari on a random monday

Yup looking at our one and only photo we took at the night safari I realised I haven't blogged about it at all. Haha. So on a random monday, I forgot which day was it, yixin and I set off from AMK mrt on a very old bus that makes a lot of noise to the night safari. It was a long trip, we should have taken the bus from CCK instead.

There weren't a lot of singaporeans, the place was mostly filled with tourists from all over the world. Not much food to choose from, given that a plate of chicken noodles sell for $15 there. We settled for the more reasonable western food, and ate by candlelight. Haha. First thing we did when we entered the safari was to queue up for the "Creatures of the Night" show. We took the photo while waiting for the show to start! :) Yea specs on, so I won't miss anything heh. Hmm, i remembered the crowd freaking out when they announced that they lost an animal and it turned out to be a snake? python? hiding beneath a row of seats. And the cute otters too, trying hard to toss metal cans into the recycle bins. I suspect they are the same little otters at the zoo.

After the show we hopped onto the tram and looked at animals. The deer came especially close! We hopped off halfway to take the leopard trail. We did see a lot of leopards, but I was more fascinated by the fruit bats! The small little things just fly around the enclosure and amongst the visitors, as if we don't exist. Some of them were happily gnawing at their fruit, placed strategically along the pathway so that we get to see their cute manner. The flying foxes looked a little scarier, hanging from the trees upside down and looking as though they might transform into a vampire anytime. Not a bad thing though! We went to another enclosure with the red flying squirrels, but they were more interested in eating than fly around. Such a pity, I wanted to see a real flying squirrel in action.

There are 4 walking trails in total to cover, but we were so tired after taking the tram back that we headed straight home. A bit wasted! If I'm ever going back again, I'm going to get more sleep the night before and wear comfy shoes.
