Zoo Negara

19 July 2009 (Sunday)

As usual whenever we stayed overnight, CJ bought us a wide spread of breakfast consisting of Chee Cheong Fun (CJ and My favourite) , Wan Ton Mee (Darren & Daddy's favourite), Nasi Lemak ( CJ & My maid's favourite), Loh Mai Kai, Char Siew Pau and various type of kuih-muih. He he he...we tend to have eyes bigger than our stomach. How to finish so many things?

I dragged CJ to go for a morning stroll with my Mei Mei. After all, I had never really walked around the housing area. While at the park, we chatted with a lady with 2 young kids who stayed there too. Being a matured housing area, I understand the need for the lady to chat with me, seeing that I had a young toddler similar age with her girl (4 yrs old) and her boy (same age with my girl). Nowadays, my Mei Mei really does look like a 3 to 4 years old girl, much older than her 2.5 years old. I always tell Daddy that genes of looking older than the actual age must have come from him...he he he..so bad of me...

That Sunday, initially we wanted to visit YH since her condominium was just about 5 minutes away. Well, we only called her that Sunday morning itself to check on her availability. So, being a a young girl, it was not surprising to be informed that she had programmes and was not at home.

As such, we decided to go to the Zoo instead. We left for the Zoo at 11.30 am. Mei Mei really had a wonderful time. We did not bring any stroller and Mei Mei walked most of the time. For a toddler, it was really tiring. So by 4.30 pm, Mei Mei had become cranky as she had not been eating properly and had missed her afternoon nap.

On our way back to CJ house to collect our stuff, Mei Mei slept but she kept crying in the middle of sleep. Our guess was she was too tired to the point of not being able to have a restful sleep.

We left for Puchong at 5.30 pm. We decided to ta pao for our dinner since Mei Mei was not feeling that well. It was a bit worrying as she had never cried like that before especially that we thought she might have tooth ache. Her teeth were in bad shape...one of her big teeth had a very big hole in it.

Going to queue up for the tickets.

We read from the newspaper that our Zoo Negara is lacking of fund.

Enjoyed the photo taking session. Mei Mei happily stood in from of the poster for the camera.

Family photo time!!! See, everyone was so restless. It's not easy to take a proper photo without the kids moving around too much.

I practically had to hold Darren from moving else where. A lot of time whenever want to take photo, Darren will dash off somewhere els...sigh...

The happiest and curious lady for the day!!

Mei Mei was big enough already to enjoy the animals. The two Ko Kos had passed the age and they had been here for a number of times. Nowadays they craved for something different, something new....like to staying in resorts/ hotels, or visiting places.

Look at the temperamental little guy's face!!!

Darren was showing his tantrum!!!

He insisted to buy the sugar cane to feed the elephant. He had done that during our last visit...that was June 2008, a year ago.

Getting the $$$ from Daddy for sugar cane. Mei Mei also did not want to be left out as usual.

Have a look of the video showing Darren & Ko Ko feeding the elephant.

Family photo again!!

More photo

Look at CJ's mouth!!

The kids were so excited with Yi Yi giving them the attention and telling them the names of the animals. All of them followed her closely.

Thanks to Yi Yi who had the patient to do so, despite knowing that they won't understand the scientific names of the animals.

The kids were touching the goat. They enjoyed it since the goat was tame.

Looking at the Otter.

Bear

It was so hard to get everybody to take photos.

The boys simply ran off...

Managed to capture Mei Mei from Daddy's arm.

We were looking for Food. The boys were asking for food. There was a restaurant in the middle of the Zoo. It used to be Marrybrown.

You see the naughty girl!!!..She didn't want to take photograph and showed me her unhappy face!!

A bad habit learnt from the #2 Ko Ko!!!

The kids liked the pony!!

I think Ko Ko liked this pony the best.

Feeding the goat.

We spent quite some time here while waiting for the performance to begin at 3 pm.

Feeding the cow.

Ko Ko was standing contentedly enjoying feeding the goat when the cow knocked Ko Ko from back, giving him a big scare.

He practically ran for his life!!

Performance time!!! Nothing much to the performance...so poor...

Darren and his Yi Yi.

After visiting the aquarium. It was nice and with air-conditioned.

Forgot to take any photos at the aquarium. Anyway, it was a bit dark there.

Mei Mei was too tired and hungry.

She had not had her milk since early morning.

We were leaving !!!

Heading towards the entrance/exit.

Darren spotted something that he wanted to buy. Pop corn!!

He managed to get Yi Yi to buy for him. Ko Ko had chosen the hot sweet corn.

When either one bought something, the other one must buy something too!!

Otherwise, they will be fighting already.

Bye Bye Zoo Negara...We were leaving!!!
