Last last Fri (14th Sept), I decided to bring my dear Devona to Night Safari. I've been there once bt she has nvr go there before. She did mention to me tat she will like to go there 1 day though. It happens tat for tis mth only, there is a 50% off for admission fee to Night Safari for my NTUC Link Card (max of 5 tickets per transaction).
Well, chance! We went straight after work & reached there ard 7pm; juz in time for e 1st session of e tribal performance at e photomound.We njoyed e performance wif our dinner at e Bongo Burgers, juz in front of e photomound. The 1st thing we do when we went in e Night Safari at 8pm, was to join e queue for e 8.30pm Creatures of the Night Show at e amphitheatre. Muz get gd seat mah! Long queue oredi leh!
Pls remember to "doll up" before joinin' e queue becos u will be fotographed & u can decide if u wan to purchase e foto fr them later after e show.
Quite an interestin' show, e presenter was very gd at beatin' up e mood of e audience!
Pls be careful when comes to choosin' of seat as e animals will b very close to u for those seats! I was particular very worried tat e Binturong will fall fr e rope, lookin' at how it swung fr side to side & most imptly, so near me!
Tat's oso a few hiccups in e show as u can nvr predict when e animals will show their temper & dun behave. The Owl actually shit on one of e audience & e trainer juz couldn't get it to flew back to him!
Other then 1 particular incident which dampened my mood, seeing a "god damned" inconsiderate person who juz dun heed e presenter's warning of non usage of flashes on those animals as it will blind them! Overall, it's still quite an entertainin' show!
The show ended ard 9pm & we embarked on our walkin' journey ard e Night Safari!

We started our walk in sequential fashion, Fishin' Cat Trail, Leopard Trail & finally Forest Giants Trail. It took us almost 1 & 1/2 hr to complete e walk!
The walk was quite a spooky one! Some area were almost w/o light and sometime u heard sound & mov't in e bushes, bt u were nt sure if was fr e animal or fr..! Luckily, we went there when e 7th mth had juz passed! Phew! :)

I was particular freaked out wif e size of e Spotted Hyena! I nvr imagine it to b so huge! Lookin' thru its eye, it strikes fear thru my spine!
Another animal tat stunned me was e Giant Flying Squirrel. When I saw it flew over me, I was really really dumb folded! Evn if it came & attacked me, I will nt b able to react in time! U can get to see tis animal bt u nid to go inside a big big cage tat house it &..u hv to b patient to wait for it to "fly"!

After crossing e Bridge of Suspension, which fear factor cannot compare to e one at Kukup while my dear Devona beg to differ, we r back at e starting point. Wat a great work out!
Well, is time to pamper ourselves wif e tram ride at ard 10.30pm. Best time for tram ride becos most pple tat wanted to take, oredi took liao & therefore, no nid to fight for gd seat!
Maybe u will ask, oredi walk e whole place, still nid to waste $ to take tram meh?
Well, if u look at e map carefully, e tram actually brings u to other area tat r not accessible by foot. U can oso get very very close to e animal becos there is no barricades!
I can even touch e backside of e Malayan Tapir while it was taking it's supper!

Near, no barricade is interestin' bt oso scarely! When my dear Devona waved to e Elephant, which was e biggest animal we saw at e place, we both freaked out when we saw it comin' towards us! Imagine Jurassic Park, tis kinda of impact!
So, Tram ride is a muz! U'll regret it if u miz it!
After e ride, which was slightly over 11pm, we shop ard e Gift Shop.
Well let's face it, gift is oni for tourist, very ex! So we juz look see look see & finally we decide is time to say goodbye, at ard 11.30pm.
Total duration of excursion: 4 & 1/2 hrs
Rating for e excursion: 4 out of 5 (almost perfect if nt becos of e "tourist" price)
Some charges to take note:
Parking Fee - $3.90 per entry, no grace period!
Entrance Fee - $22 per head (got it for 2 becos of my NTUC card, hehehe!)
Tram Ride - $10 per head (can't save tis, if nt, dun tell pple u go Night Safari before)

I & my dear Devona went to Dempsey Hill on Sat (08.09.07)..3rd time liao.
We wanted to go to some place for a drink before we head to my home for dinner.
We actually went to Sunset Way 1st; curious to see e transformation of tis place after readin' abt it in a newspaper article.
Tis place is new to her bt to me, it was a place tat i went for buffet steamboat durin' my uni days.
The verdict of tis place?..well, we ended up in Dempsey, so wat do u tink?We went to Ben & Jerry's for ice cream.
One interestin' thing, it actually shares e place wif 2 other stalls!
One is Culina Quality Food & Beverage and e other is a wine bar, which I hv no idea abt it's name.
It's one of e cheaper dinin' place there wif everything startin' fr sandwiches (lunch oni till 3.30pm by CQFB) to dessert (Ben & Jerry's) to wine & beer (e unknown wine bar).
If u r tinkin' of dinner, CQFB oni serves dinner on Fri & weekend.
Place is small so b early!..Hmm..tink hv to make reservation..so early maybe oso no use.
& oso, there is a centre stage tat probably u cn get to see some performance.
Do check out tis place!
As I mentioned earlier, we visited Dempsey 3 times.
The 2nd time we went was a weekday, Tue (21.08.07).
We went to DOME for dinner..one of e more affordable dinin' place there.
We had our dinner sittin' on a nice comfy sofa, nt shown in e pic.
Their coffee is supposed to b gd..so tis is definitely a new nice place to mit up wif frens, chit chat wif a cup of coffee; if u r tired of e usual cafe in e urban city area.
There r lot's more nice dinin' places in Dempsey, nt cheap though, which we hope to explore.
So, anyone willin' to sponsor us to try out e food & comment on e rest of e other dinin' places? ;p
For those who wan to noe more abt tis place, u cn check out e website below.
