January Highlight: National Zoo

So me and my colleagues went for a little outing one day and it was originally planned to go to Pulau Ketam but due to "unforeseen circumstances", we changed plans last minute and went for the zoo.

I had breakfast by myself before joining the others and then in two cars, we drove to the National Zoo. Before going in I was particularly worried about the hygiene and cleanliness in there (but it turns out better than I expected, though not first-class exemplary) and I heard that there were less animals in there now compared to the past, and that a lot of the animals are very thin....

We were there early, around 9am. Bought our tickets at RM 30 each (heard it actually doubled from the previous RM 15) and off we went in!

There was an initial debate to where we should set off first, based on the types of animals that they want to see (since it's my first time, the order wasn't important to me). In the end we just followed the path anyway and well, here are some of the pics I took using my iPod. Less words, more pictures!



I think overall, I am most thrilled at seeing the animals right in front of me (though some distance away), especially the tigers. Giraffes and the elephant which I fed sugar cane too, omg! When you look into the elephants eyes and their face, it just warms you and you feel it being so gentle and kind!

We stayed there until about 2pm, all hot and hungry. Can't believe we spent 5hrs in the zoo, and were complaining not much animals to see! Haha. So we went to Ampang to have our late lunch, and quite honestly I was so hungry I totally no mood to talk and this headache in my head ugh!

But the food is good and didn't take too long so it's alright. Ate and chatted, and we finally parted ways around 5pm. Day well spent!
