We were at the SPH family day yesterday. For your info, we are not employees of SPH, but my sis is. Got free tickets, free tram ride, free lunch, free ice-cream, free candy floss, free pop corn…like everything free, sure must go!

I forgot that SPH is a very big organisation and most of their staff gets about 4tickets each. The crowd is huge. Just look at the entrance, only slightly better then the MRT rush hour. We are afterall civilised people, hence no pushing or shoving, everything was orderly chaotic.

I see children everywhere, it’s like every group has got at least a kid in tow. I wonder if all parents and their kids hit the children play area first thing they set foot into zoo. Left, right, front back and on top hanging or climbing like ah meng, every family crammed into that area. Did they come for the pool or the animals?

The giraffes are back! But are they babies too? Look rather small and short. I think the two wooden display giraffes have carried the load of thousands kids, because parents thought they are good photo taking props.

Ah Yau was more aware of the animals this time. Maybe she saw some resemblance with her toys. She was greatly amused by the goat and laugh hysterically after petting it.

My stupid shoe gave way 5 mins after we entered the zoo. What a bad timing, nobody sell shoes in a zoo. In the end, I attached two red rubber bands to the shoe and fastened it onto my foot. It was ugly, and I wasn’t wearing long pants to hide them.

By the way, we didn’t get all the free goodies in the end, not even the free lunch. So many people were queueing up for them. My father who joined the queue, said it was like refugees lining up to get their ration of food. He must be feeling rather grouchy, I guess he was very hungry.
