8 months - to the zoo (again!)

third time to the zoo for baby yesterday!
was looking forward to bringing baby to the zoo last weekend, but we were rained in, so we made it a point to make up for it during this long weekend. didn't expect the zoo to be teeming with people, but it was, and we were glad that we didn't have to line up to buy tickets (yay friends of the zoo!).

even before going into the zoo, we had a satisfying lunch of nasi lemak (with a huge piece of chicken) and laksa at the ah meng kopi outlet just at the zoo entrance. the huge mugs of iced lemon tea were really refreshing on a warm day. as there weren't any high chairs available, baby had to sit in her pram ... we gave her a piece of cucumber to chew on while we ate, and that kept her occupied for a good 10 minutes or so while we finished up our lunch. heh. :P  

this time, we got to see the animals in the "wild africa" section of the zoo. baby was mesmerised by the otters that did cute flips in the water. we also enjoyed watching the giraffe and zebra moving around in slow motion in the afternoon heat. baby also got to see the elephants again, and we finally made our way to the orang utan enclosure, which was really nicely done with the skywalk portion.

when it was feeding time for baby, we took shelter in the proboscis monkey exhibit, which was quite dark and cooling thanks to some wall fans. was hoping that baby would fall asleep after her feed, but she didn't, and so we had to endure 1-2 minutes of fussing at around 3 before she fell asleep in her pram. we ended the day by chilling out over a pepsi light at KFC waiting for baby to wake up before heading home. good times!
