Hi-5 Surprise! Live Tour 2009 Update

Shannon and mummy went for the Hi-5 show on 11/09/09 Friday. It was raining heavily in the early afternoon and we were afraid that it will be quite difficult to access to the Singapore Indoor Stadium as all the car parks are under opened air. Luckily it stops raining 1 hour before the start of the show.

Shannon enjoyed herself and have a packet of strawberry pokey for snacks. There was a few caucasion kids around her age sitting behind her row. 2 of them came asking Shannon whether she can share her pokey with them. She was so protective that she clinch on to her pokey and shake her head. I admired the daringness of the caucasion kids. We need to cultivate Shannon to share her stuffs with her sibling.

Hi 5

Zoo Trip for my Company's "Family Day"

My company was organising a "Family Day" on 05/09/09 Saturday at the Singapore Zoo to celebrate 175 years. Shannon's 1st trip to the zoo was last year. This was her 2nd trip to the Zoo for Shannon. This time round Mummy was unable to join us as she can't walk too long due to her pregnancy. She'll be resting and shaking legs at home while I perspire bringing Shannon around.

We reach the zoo around 9.30am after having breakfast with Mummy at Punggol. We had planned out all the routes and timings for the shows and feeding time. The following are all the timings for the morning.

Morning Feeding Trail 1:
Elephant Bathing (9.15am) --> Polar Bear (10.05am) -->Tree Top Walk & Otter (10.30am) --> Primate Kingdom (11am)

Morning Feeding Trail 2:
Giraffe (10.45am) --> Jaguar (11am) --> Island Free Ranging Orang Utan (11.30am)

Animal Shows:
1) Rainforest Fights Back --> 10.30am
2) Splash Safari --> 11am
3) Elephants at Work and Play --> 11.30am

The must visit places for Shannon would be the Australian Outback, the Rainforest KidzWorld and Shannon's favourite animal Elephant. During her first trip, the Rainforest KidzWorld was still under construction so she didn't have the chance to visit the area. Even though we got all the timings and schedule worked out, we didn't catch any feeding at all. The weather was extremely hot and humid that day. We kept on rehydrating ourselves till the water bottles all empty. In the end we only managed to catch the Splash Safari.
