Family trip to the zoo!
My parents, my sister and I went to the Zoo today. Well, it was quite an odd choice of a place to go to, I guess, considering that both my sister and I are no longer children. But I always have loved looking at animals and it has been more than 4 years since my last trip to Taman Safari, so the zoo it was!
I thought that the trip would be a dud, but it actually turned out to be a lot of fun. I really enjoyed myself.
Although today is a Sunday, the one and a half hour ride was almost free of traffic, which was a really good thing. I really didn't want to repeat the experience of spending 3 hours for a 1 1/2 hour drive.
At the zoo itself I:
1. fed pinguins
2. saw 2 Komodo dragons being fed live chickens
3. was almost tempted to take pictures with baby tigers, which my sister
actually did. Those baby tigers were the cutest things ever! I kind of
regret that I didn't have pictures of me carrying those baby tigers taken.
Well, the thing is, I'm not great at dealing with animals. I like looking
at them, but touching them is another matter altogether.
4. had an orangutan smile and reach out his/her hand to me asking for food. I
never knew that they could smile!
5. Got freaked out when I saw a white mouse in a snake enclosure. I actually
shrieked! How embarrasing. >.< I really rather deal with reptiles than
rodents. They give me the creeps.
