Our Safari Park Outing...

H and I brought the boys to the Safari Park yesterday (Friday). The drive was about an hour and a half; and as usual, the boys played their gameboys to pass the time. S1 played quietly in the third row seat. S2 who was sitting next to me, was talking to himself ALL the way while playing his GB... H sat in the front passenger seat.

We bought some carrot bunches (to feed the animals. Well, not supposed to..but EVERYBODY does it!!) from the road stalls outside the park. USD 1 for 4 bunches! As we were entering the park, the comments started.

H - Huh? You mean we are going to look at animals? blah blah blah..
S1/S2 - Yeah..we don't like animals. We don't wanna feed animals. They are smelly..blah blah blah.

I was starting to get mad and actually screamed "Aiya. Next time just stay at home and watch DVD until your eyes pop out lah!! No need to go anywhere lah. Save all the money. No need to go Sea World lah.. "..

S1 - I like SEA animals, but not land animals..
H - Yeah. See animals for what???....*complains* .... blah blah blah...

Me getting VERY VERY GERAM! So, nobody wanted to feed the animals. So, I feed lah... but once I was doing it, and the boys also want to have a go at it. Once they started, they thoroughly enjoyed it. And started fighting over the carrots.. "you take all, don't have enough for me already!!" ...See lah..these people!!

There were also bears, tigers, lions etc. But of course we did NOT feed them. Skali, we become their food!

After the safari area, we went to the theme park to meet up with S2's friend. The park has rides and scheduled shows. Boys sat on some rides (not all as need to pay for each ride. The cable car was quite a rip-off as we had to pay USD 12 for the 4 of us). S1 being older, went on a mini roller coaster and space-shuttle (something like "Viking").. and thus went on more rides than S2. You guessed it..there was a "NOT FAIR! Kor kor get on more rides than me!". *sigh* So, had to let him go on some rides without S1. S1 was very good to NOT go on those rides, so that the ride-tally would be equal. *sigh*

We didn't watch any of the animal shows (Big Cats, Sea Lion, Elephant, Variety Show)...but did catch the Wild Wild West Stunt Show at 1.00 PM. Have to say that it was quite good. With the regular water splashes, gun shots with blood spewing, fires and explosions, falling buildings and some trained animals. The only thing was that boys couldn't understand the language! By the time the show ended at about 1.45 pm, it was getting kinda chilly and the skies were turning dark. We decided to go home then (on the way back, bought some yams to make yam cake...)
