but then again i do not want to make it another huge event like last year's. truthfully, it was more hard work planning the event than fun. and when you have so many people around, you dont actually get to spend quality time with the guests. being a control freak, i spent most of the night running around making sure everything is going according to plan.
so this time around, one of my groups of friends decided to head to the ZOO for my birthday!!
i went there with sheryl, cecilia and jiafang.
first thing to do is to get tickets.
lets begin the journey...
a nice picture together with the parrots.
and we explored more of the surroundings.
we even managed to make friends with a friendly tiger. not like those evil white cousins of his.
we headed over to the elephant show and while waiting for it to start, it began to rain damn heavily. so the few hundreds of us waiting for the elephant show to start were like stuck in the theatre watching the rain pour since there wasnt a sheltered exit.
and after enduring much whining from sheryl who kept insisting we buy ponchos so that we could continue to see all the other animals, we gave up and just got the ponchos so that she would stop whining incessantly about it. haha!
don't cha wish your gf/bf (opt for whichever floats your boat) was hot like me.
dont cha baby. dont cha!
we decided to walk around for abit more until the rain stopped and the ponchos felt like a walking sauna. also, neon green is not exactly my color.
our legs were getting tired from all that walking so we hopped onto these cute looking trams.
we headed to the kid zone and petting zoo but sadly most of the animals were kept cause of the weather.
since the closing time was drawing near, we decided to head for the exit. but before we left for home, the girls decided to head to ben and jerry's for some dessert.
this was when the girls decided to suprise me with a birthday brownie and ice cream. and they thought that it would be so cool to put those 'magic relightable candles' on top of the brownie.
but here's the clever part, they stuck 22 'magic relightable candles' on that small square of brownie surrounded by ice cream.

the whole plate was like burtsting out in flames. and the best part is that since they were 'magic relightable candles', no matter how hard or how many time i blow the candles, the whole plate would still be in flames.
after countless attempts of trying to blow the candles. we gave up hope and decided to just scoop up the
they also got me this big present and this handmade card. i love handmade cards.
erm, ignore the look on my face on both of the above fotos. i was still recovering from the trauma of the flamable brownie.
well, all in all the whole 'birthday at zoo' trip was really fun. if you've noticed, i didnt include any animal photos in this entry cause that's just damn boring la. unless of course i had a really good camera with a fantastic zoom and spent my whole day waiting for a good picture of the maneating white tigers, but unfortunately, that wasnt the case. what matters more was not the photos but having fun doing something different from what i usually do with my friends.
so go ahead and head down to the zoo with your friends and have a blast of a time. we had so much fun we gave it 4 thumbs up!
and while you're there, you can check out this latest attraction at the zoo. i heard they flew it in, by first class no less, from australia.
hehe..
