A Very Focused Zoo Trip

We wanted to go to the zoo for 3 reasons. (1) Try out my new fujifilm F70. (2) Let Jaimie play at the at water playground (3) take the boat ride.

Our plan was to go to the zoo tomorrow afternoon but we decided we should go today instead so as not to miss out the good weather. It was windy and sunny -- a PERFECT day for an outdoor trip until our car drove out of our car park. It started to rain.

Ho-seh liow lor.

Nothing is going to distract us from our focuses. Armed with 2 big umbrellas and a child's raincoat which we got from our last fire station visit, we went ahead to the zoo. Jaimie was reluctant to wear the raincoat until we told her that she would not be allowed to take the boat ride if she got wet. Then she obliged.

Luckily the rain stopped about half an hour later.
We only stopped by to see the few animals (deer, lions, zebra, peacock) which was along the way to the kids' playground.
Jaimie was, as usual, thrilled to play in the water.


I suspect Jaimie is undergoing a growth spurt lately because her appetite is extremely good. She just had a big bowl of porridge at her grandma's place at 11am and she was yelling that she was very hungry at 3pm. I showered and changed her while Clement bought her a chicken popcorn chicky meal. She ate half the chicken popcorn and drank 3/4 cup of milo.

Then we proceeded to take the boat ride.
The boat ride was boring and short. We didn't think it was worth the money but Jaimie enjoyed it. We were saying we would rather pay the same amount of money to take the tram instead the next time we visit the zoo. That was another thing Jaimie had been asking for every time we visited the zoo.


We tried out with the new camera. The pictures did not turn out as good as we expected them to be. I will call my IT helpdesk (aka Clement) to look into the matter. Perhaps it was the camera setting.

Objective (1), (2) and (3) completed.

And my arms were very tired from carrying Jaimie in the zoo.
