we're going to the zoo zoo zoo..
despite the bad weather, it didnt spoil our plan to go to the zoo. qin, nic, grace, cp, keong and i met up at the zoo at around 2.30pm. we had pizza and kfc for lunch before we embarked on our zoo discovery. with less than 4 hours, we more or less managed to visit all the animals. we even catch the polar bear feeding show and a lil of sea lion show. i realised there are so many monkeys in the zoo, they are practically everywhere ; orang utan, baboons, gibbons, chimpanzees.. .. lil miss sotong here, surprisingly remembered to bring her camera. but being a sotong, i didnt realised it was out of batt. =( anyhow.. cp brought his camera so i can "gop" his pictures.
to end the excursion, we had bens & jerry. *slurps* we were chatting over ice cream when grace said she wants to cut her fringe cos its alil heavy, i told her i wanted to cut my hair too. so, she suggested going like "now" before our dinner. i called up the salon i frequent and they happened to have 2 slots.
on our way to town, keong and i met up with a minor accident. we got away with a couple of scratches and bruises. my babe suffered the most injuries. *cries out loud* my four month old baby got scratches on 4 areas on the left side, the brake lever knob broke, the right side of the floorboard chipped and the part of the wheel cap gone due to abrasion. previously, i was still comtemplating to go for the vespa vivo challenge, i guess its out of the question now. we just want to get it fixed, just like before.
in fact, keong has sent the bike for consultation.
action to be taken:
1) change the floorboard
2) change brake lever
3) change wheel cap
4) change the silver lining
5) touch up of the paint
6) back rest (additional)
total damage: 585
the floorboard will have to be ordered and it will only come in in november. =( the paint cant be delayed any further cos its getting rusty.
after a heated discussion with the driver, we continued our journey to town. later, we met up with qin and nic at p.s. cafe. our first time. i thought the place was pretty crowded and noisy. not what i expected. i imagined the place to be quiet, a lil nearer to nature with an open concept but still sheltered above and the atmosphere would be more relaxing, like you can feel the breeze and there will be people chilling out. the verdict: an upmarket restaurant with pretty nice food. my first and last time i guess. the total damage per person: 36
anyway, they will ask you at the end of your order (if you havent ordered drinks) whether you would like sparkling or still water to start with. if you're thinking of having iced plain water, dont say still water, make it clear that you want iced water. we paid $24 for 4 bottles of plain water. expensive water la. i can buy 24 x 3 = 72 bottles of ice mountain, that would be like almost a month of drinking water for me la. anyhow, it was a good experience.
at the end of the day, despite the lil mishap,
safety + great companions + amazing pictures = happy!!!
