But together we can be the perfect soulmates

yikes my comp is crazy! there's this Singtel Broadband Filtering Service, and it's barred me from my own blog. CAN YOU FRICKIN BELIEVE THAT??! rahh >:O

yay today was TRIP TO THE ZOO!
woke up at unearthly hours, did briskwalking early in the morning to the busstop (improve breathing!), sat a supposedly 1h15min busride to the zoo (it turned out to be only 20min) and stoned at the entrance for oh, 40min?
ok haha we finally strolled into the zoo, and wordy there was a big group of JAPANESE people entering the zoo too! very very cool ok!
ok right so off we went and we were at the Orang Utan exhibit, and wordy one group of the jap people wanted to take picture with us!!! and they were like, "do two ok? do two." (meaning the peace sign) [see footnote]
ok wanted to catch the polar bears feeding time, so we walked on, then u-turn and uh, stone till 1005 for the polar bear feeding time. note: we were there at oh, 0920? haha but it was really cool. and the zoo-keeper presenting was the same one last year!
then went to the Australian Outback exhibit, where we frickin FED THE KANGAROOS!!! mondo über-coolio man! their fur is very nice to the touch. and haha i fed an emu too(!), and it pecks with a lot of force. but we weren't allowed very near to thw wallabies cos "they're not too friendly."
we also caught the Elephants of Asia show and it's still highly entertaining :) smart elephants.
oh and we went to the Fragile Forest and and and A BUTTERFLY LANDED ON ME!!! NOT ONCE, BUT THRICE!!!!! and the third time, it stayed on my hand for a very long time ok! it only left when i let it go at the nectar area. and it was a pretty butterfly!
oh we were at the Reptile Garden, on our way back to see the White Tigers feeding, and a stupid downpour started. >:( that's 2yrs in a row that i've missed it! RAHH. ok right so we waited at the Anaconda exhibit, and waited, and waited. then whoo! two zookeepers put us out of our misery by feeding the snakes with dead chicks! it was really cool man, yet uh, grotesque. well anyway, they take really long to ingest them, coiling around them (for what since those poor chicks are dead already) then finally swallowing them whole (after goodness knows how long). and there was this snake who ate like, 3chicks?! greedy snake! and at one point of time, the chick was left floating about in the water, cos one of the snakes didn't want to eat it. wierdy.
ok right went back to the start and enjoyed lovely Ben&Jerry's. Chocolate Therapy is super yum.
bus-ed back to amk hub, and rested at the fountain. teeheehee nice hypotenus just sat there listening to me fantasize about all things SPONGEBOB. almost everything under the sun could become a SPONGEBOB merchandise man! and there was this Life!, The Straits Times article that was reporting on the Louis Vuitton show that closed Paris Fashion Week. and there was one para which stated the inspiration of Marc Jacobs! i quote 'Then came the clothes - a bright jumble of colours and shapes. There were pale pink, sunflower yellow, mauve and a few looks consisting of sheer layers and bunches of tulle. Silhouttes were square one minute, slim the next, then flared. The seemingly schizophrenic combinations of fabrics and colours were thanks to not only to Prince, but also to SpongeBob SquarePants, the TV cartoon about a yellow sponge that Jacobs loves.' now isn't that super-duper-awesomely-whoooperly cool!!!!! someone as prestigious and known as MARC JACOBS, loves SPONGEBOB!!!!!!!!!!

footnote
i read in Saturday, Oct 6, The Straits Times this article titled Am I turning Japanese? Time to take this test. yah so the writer, Janice Tay, who's studying Japanese in Kyoto took this quiz. i quote 'And according to the quiz, you know you're been in Japan too long when: You can't take your picture without you fingers forming a peace sign (Not guilty. The day this happens is the day i book a flight back to Singapore. A French classmate once asked my form teacher why so many Japanese made the peace sign when a camera was pointed at them. Her brow furrowed. "Then what do you do in France when someonee takes you picture?" she asked. "Nothing! Just smile," he said. The furrow in her brow deepened as she wrestled with this novel concept.)' haha of course there are statements but this is the most relevant :D
