We woke up bright and early to make sure that we get there early to have enough time to see every animal and cover every part of the zoo. Sel was so excited that she wouldn’t stop at McDonald’s for breakfast. She insist to go there straight, grab some take away snacks for breakfast and have it while watching one of the animal shows. Everything is so expensive at the zoo. For example, they sell half a sandwich (it was just 1 slice of bread cut into 2 with a filling) at $3. Also, a 600ml bottle of mineral water cost $2. Even so, we couldn’t resist not trying the oreo cheesecake. So in total our “breakfast” cost us $14.80.
With breakfast in hand, we first head to the Shaw Foundation Amphitheatre for the Rainforest Fights Back animal show. We were so engrossed with the show that we forgot to eat our breakfast. Hehe… But we managed to get a shot with the cast.
Next stop was the Splash Amphitheatre for the Splash Safari animal show. We got there about 5 minutes before the show starts so we gobbled up our breakfast then. The Splash Safari was somewhat more exciting than the Rainforest Fights Back. Maybe it was because the main character, Philip the sea lion was really charming and full of tricks. Plus, Sel got BIG wet sloppy kiss from him.
Then we head to the Elephants At Work And Play animal show. The show proves that these majestic species are really strong. Thereafter, we head to the Rainforest Kidzworld to have lunch at KFC. So much has changed there. No more big dry playground with the huge net that you can jump around on, what’s left was the pool kind of playground. Nevertheless, the kids seem to be enjoying themselves.
That leaves us the rest of the day to venture. Here are some pictures to share…

And then it was Vin's turn at 
posing...
London Bridge is falling down... 
Comparing sizes... It makes Sel feels petite that day...
Vin at the Great Rift Valley of Ethiopia...
We find the backside of the polar bear cuter...
A coffee place under the late Ah Meng's name...
Not forgetting the other animals…
This is Vin’s favourite picture of the day. He couldn't stop giggling when he saw that the Proboscis Monkey was peeing on his food and friends. It was like a leaking tap, flowing endlessly. Hehe... Right after the leaking stopped, the monkey actually took the leaves that he peed on and ate some. Too bad the shot does not reflect the whole picture.
It was really a fun day! The best birthday gift that Vin could give Sel is the happy memories…
