Night Safari

/

I've always been a fan of the nightlife and as much as I'd love to wake up in the morning to grab a bite at McDonalds, I just hate the idea of waking up early!!!! I HATE IT. Well, but if you're talking about school and meetings etc that's just inevitable... I don't have a choice.

So besides partying, have you ever considered that you might also have as much fun at the Night Safari?! 

I'm overwhelmed with all my emotions that I have right now, the animals were sooooo cute! Not kidddddingzzz.

Haven't been there since I was probably 7/8, or perhaps even way before that. Hence, I was so thrilled to have this opportunity to do so with Tyler despite how it's located at the other end of SG, away from me...... Thanks to him I got a ride there with his car. However, fret not!!! It's actually just 25-minute ride away from Ang Mo Kio/ Choa Chu Kang if you hop on to the shuttle bus there! Hence it's pretty accessible and really isn’t as far as what we always think!

Just to give a brief intro to any kuku who hasn't been there even once in your entire life before,

From what I've found out, the Night's Safari is the world's first nocturnal wildlife park which consists of more than 2,500 animals in naturalistic habitats!!! It was a really memorable experience to be able to be exposed to all these beautiful creatures within close distance.

Besides, I also enjoy a breathtaking journey with all the adventures in the park such as the Thumbuakar show, Creatures of the Night Show and walking trails.


Excited me was already snapping pictures at the entrance.


Caught an eyeopening Thumbuakar performance to kick start our evening! Doesn't it amaze you  how they could actually breathe out such huge flames?!



It's actually really crowded even on weekdays due to the tour groups, but it’s much quieter later in the night. Their student promo is valid for entry after 9pm, so you no longer have to worry about queuing and squeezing during your visit!


This 20-minute animal extravaganza brings together a constellation of their nocturnal superstars! Was so excited to watch how the animals showcase their natural and unique behaviours and skills.

Was really taken aback bcos according to my really vague impression of the Night Safari, I only remembered being on a tram... No performances, no nothing!!! So I'm really glad. Besides, the show was definitely not a let-down!


Can you spot where's the Binturong (bear-cat)?!?!!?


Oh look, a snake! lol.


So amused how that cute little Otter could differentiate between the different-material cups and bottles, and actually managed to place them in the recycling bin!



The small-toothed civet trying to use its strong sense of smell to find out which hand the grape was on!


Next up was a journey into the mysterious night on a tram. I was actually quite afraid that it might turn out to be a really boring ride, but thankfully, I gotta see a lot of animals I wouldn't’ be able to see if I was there in the day!




I'm so sorry this is the only good shot I managed to capture!!! (Although it's not exactly a fantastic one as well. oops. Flash is prohibited at the Night Safari due to the sensitivity of certain animals’ eyes and may also cause unnecessary stress to them)

I guess it IS a good thing that they really ensure that the animals are protected this way, that aside, this just means that you guys should head down and experience it for yourself!



Above all the fun, you can never have fun without filling up your tummies! At least I can't. Bongo Burgers! It’s an alfresco restaurant with yummy burgers, hotdogs and fries! Noms.






This is seriously such an unflattering picture of myself, but oh well look how much I've sacrificed just to give you guys a good laugh!!!!


Trust me, you won't wanna miss this even if you're not a hardcore animal lover, but if you are good for you! You might regret partying and getting drunk, doing things you shouldn't have done... But you'd definitely not regret this!

* HERE’S A QUICK ITINERARY OF WHAT YOU CAN DO*

Sleek, directional, fashionable; Riot Loco is your reason to indulge in some oniochalasia.

http://www.riotloco.com/about-us

Finally have some spare time to share with you guys my fav online store for the month of May! Haven't been doing that many reviews lately cos I wanted to keep them exclusive; where I only write them for selective blog shops that I'm really fond of AND CAN'T RESIST THE URGE TO SHARE.

I guess it's better that way in terms of my credibility and also, you guys won't be seeing a page full of advertorials/reviews! Which, I know can get a little annoying sometimes.

Anyway back to the topic! I haven't been so pleased upon receiving my sponsors for awhile, I was just really glad that I got to work with RIOTLOCO

What's different about them compared to other online stores?

*All of their apparels are tagged with their label and comes in sizes S-L
*New arrivals and giveaway every Thursday
*The season's most covetable designs are re-envisioned as stylish investments, with meticulous thought brought to design, fabric and style!

So here are three of my picks! :)


I chose to wear this sheer, chiffon blouse as an "outerwear" instead because I thought it actually goes pretty well with something of a brighter colour underneath. Wear it with a basic spag top, preferably in white, if you're looking for something simpler.



Unlike the usual maxi skirts, I love how there are slits on both sides, (like sexy only) along with three beautiful tones which complement each other so well. It's pretty versatile! So formal or casual, up to you!




This is totally uncalled for, but whatever!


My fav piece of all!!! 


Apparently I've been really into the colour blue lately. In terms of clothes. So I guess I'm a little biased in that sense, especially when it's my fav shade of blue!


Words can't express how much I love the design at the back! Besides, not forgetting how much I loveeeee adjustable stripes!!!!!!! BEST. Hands down.


This is what happens when I get bored.


And here I am trying to seduce you virtually. Lol, kidding it's not even seductive.

Sheer Agony

/
Life has been pretty hard on me lately, things weren't going smoothly and I was really not as fine as how I seemed to be on the surface, but I'm so done with allowing myself to feel that way. I'm so done weeping my heart out over someone who chose to walk out of my life.

I may have lost someone who was once so dear to me, but god gave me a whole new bunch of really good friends in return... God also made me realize that sometimes you gotta lose certain things in exchange for better things along the way.

Guess hitting rock bottom is just one of the many setbacks you'd have to face in life before you get back up and become even stronger than before.

Even though I hate how I always lose people as soon as I get them, I wouldn't deny I've gotten to know even better people after each time.

& I'm thankful for that.

Just some random pictures taken at my baby girl's place the other day. 







I've lost her once and I can't believe she's back here with me when I'm at my lowest. It's also because of this incident which helped to strengthen the bond between my family and I. I'm so grateful to have so many people rooting for me and there's nothing more I'd ask for.

It hurts to know that at one point of time, someone who you once meant the whole world to, could just pretend you've never existed in their lives in just a split second. But it hurts even more to realize that no matter how much pain they've brought you through, they are still the ones you care for the most at the end of they day. It's pretty funny isn't it? How humans always want what they can't have, and how we always choose to stay for that one good reason and not leave for the uncountable flaws that special someone has? Still trying to find the answers for all these questions.
