我們4人乘大舅父的車到動物園後，首先一起去售票處買票。售價分成人門票(S$20.00)，兒童門票(S$13.00)，成人遊船河船票(S$6.00)，兒童遊船河船票(S$3.50),成人遊覽車車票(S$5.00)&兒童遊覽車車票(S$3.00)。我們買了5張成人門票&5張成人遊覽車車票，一共S$125.00。售票處的旁邊有紀念品商店和食店(咖啡店、薄餅店、快餐店)。
我們第一站走到了雨林庭院(Rainforest Courtyard)。
1 我們看到的第一種動物是鸚鵡，有紅綠藍色的鸚鵡&白色的鸚鵡。我說了幾句話，希望可以聽到它們的模仿，可是站在高高的樹枝上的它們完全沒有理會我。我比較少見白色的鸚鵡，它的顏色很雪白。
2 之後，我們看到咖啡色的大鼷鹿(greater mouse deer)。它有三角形的頭，大大的眼睛&黑色的鼻子。它好像覺得有點害怕，所以躲在幾塊大石中間。它的樣子很可愛，讓人想抱著它當公仔。
3 接著，我們看到兇猛的馬來鱷(false ghavial)在水中游泳。它的嘴又細又長又窄，如果被它咬到一定會身受重傷，我們決定還是不要打擾它的雅興。
4 離開了馬來鱷後，一群火烈鳥(flamingo)在等待著我們。它們有很長的脖子，很紅的beak，更擁有女生最羨慕的S型身材。
5 我們看到啡黑色的長臂猿(gibbon)正在樹枝上盪秋千，它的身手很靈活很快，轉眼就消失在我們的面前。
6 在睡覺的鹿豬(babirusa)的豬角(???)也是向上的，是一個很得意的景象。

我們離開了雨林庭院，我們到達了原野非洲(Wild Africa)。非洲太遠了，能夠在Singapore看到非洲的動物，很幸福啊!而且，非洲應該比Singapore熱很多吧!如果在非洲看動物，我應該沒有心情和精神看動物因為非洲太熱。

1 很胖的咖啡色犀牛 (rhinoceros)有很名貴的犀牛角，看起來有點呆呆的。我很想坐在它的背上，不知道可不可以?

2 安氏羚(nyala)有白色的間條，so cute。

3 大羚羊(eland)看起來有點老。    

4 一對班馬(zebra)情侶正在一起喝水。 

5 高高的長頸鹿(giraffe)在吃樹葉，好吃嗎?    

6 偉大的紅毛猩猩(orange utan)媽媽在無微不至地照顧著紅毛猩猩BB。 天下的母親都是很偉大的。   

7 獵豹(cheetah) 本來是睡著的，我們到達後它就醒來迎接我們。

8  獅子(lion)夫婦在曬日光浴。

這些動物應該很高興，因為Afirca比較熱。這些動物應該很傷心，因為Afirca比較大。

1 馬來熊(sun bear)是黑色的。不知道是不是因為曬太陽曬太多所以曬黑了???
2 象龜 (giant tortoise)真得很大。難道它是修練千年的龜仙?
3 變色龍(chameleon)這一次它變的顏色不夠好看，希望下一次會變得好看一點。
4 科莫多巨蜥(Komodo Dragon) 為甚麼它叫dragon?它比dragon小那麼多，改名字的那個人改得不夠好。
5 犀牛鬣蜥(Rhinoceros Iguana)在曬太陽，曬得不夠馬來熊多，所以沒有曬黑。
6 豹貓(Leopard Cat)在玩耍。要不要陪我一起玩?
7 Lizard想逃走，可惜失敗了，只能無辜地看著外面?
8 大舅父和象龜model的合照。你們說大舅父比較可愛還是象龜比較可愛呢?

我們到了亞洲大象園看大象表演。最主要是有兩個穿著綠色衣服的叔叔坐在大象的背上，然後叫大象做出不同的動作。當兩位叔叔坐在大象的背上的時候，我在想不知道他們的屁股會不會很熱&很痛。當天新加坡的氣溫是很熱的，當陽光射向大象的時候，大象的身體會很熱，不知道會不會燙傷兩位叔叔?當其中一位叔叔坐在大象的鼻子上的時候，我除了擔心叔叔會不小心掉在地上發生意外，我也擔心叔叔的體重會把大象的鼻子坐斷。如果以後有機會，我也想嘗試一下坐在大象的鼻子和背上。

當綠色衣服的叔叔下來以後，他們兩人開始介紹大象的information。他們說有一個水池讓大象洗澡，那個水池叫大象晨浴區。大象最喜歡到那裡洗澡，因為大象的象毛很少，很容易會有皮膚病，所以它們要常常到大象晨浴區洗澡。如果大象不幸地患上皮膚病，不知道小栗旬獸醫大人能不能把它治好?

另外，大象每天可以排出非常多的糞便(忘記了有多少)，它的糞便可以把一個人活埋。如果有一個工作人員不小心在大象肚痛的時候接近它，不知道會不會有被糞便活埋的危險?

Sometimes I feel sorry for all those elephants. They have to be trained to entertain all the visitor. They have to performe their show twice every day. Do they feel tired and unhappy? I hope they feel happy in the zoo. I am pretty sure they miss their family and friends from their birth place. If I am an elephant, I would rather live in the wild jungle instead of living in the zoo. At least there is more freedom in the wild jungle. Nobody would be riding on their back every day. Nobody would force them to bath according to a particular schedule.

However, if they escape from the zoo, I think they no longer can be adapted to the wildlife environment. They have already lost their ability to survive in the natrual environment after their training. They have to live in the zoo for the rest of their life. They will no longer have an opportunuity to go back to Asia or Africa.

Somtimes when I am watching the animal show at zoo, I feel excited and I  think the show is always interesting, but I always wonder whether the elephants would be happy or not. Do they really have a choice?

熱帶農稼園(Tropical Crops Plantation)
這裡有很多不同種類的植物，有一些時可以吃的，很可惜沒有試食。我真得很想偷偷地試食，可惜沒有足夠的勇氣。全部的食物(ie plant)都試只能看，不能吃，我只有忍忍忍忍忍 ... ...
山竹(mangosteen)跟mango有甚麼關係? Are they within the same family? 如果將來有機會看到study plant 的 professor，我要問問她這個問題? Label 說所有的山竹的味道都是一樣的。我很懷疑。我決定以後沒天都去買一個山竹嘗嘗它們的味道是不是一樣?不知道在香港的supermarket能不能買得到?
Oyster plant can reduce "heatiness" in our body. I want to try if I have the opportunity. I think the zoo should provide a free drink of oyster plant or dragon's tongue.
The leaves of dragon's tongue are used to treat coughs & sore throat. The flowers can clean our blood. I want to plant dragon's tongue & oyster plant at home so I can alwys have medical drinks to cure my illness.
I want to try Padi rice in my dinner or lunch. I want to try its taste and see if it is yummy.
I have seen different types of flowers, plants and grass in the Tropical Crops Plantation. Many of the plants are not just beautiful, but they also have different meidcal uses. This visit is far more interesting than my previous lecture about plant in my biology class. I had not expected to learn anything about plant in the zoo. I am quite excited and I am extremely surprised about the diversity of the plant. If possible, I would like to come back again in the future to visit my "plant friends". The plants are no longer boring to me. I think my professor should come to the zoo to look at the plants before her lecture on plant.

We have spent 2 days in the Singapore Zoo. First, I want to talk about the ticket. On each ticket, there is a picture of an animal. I think the design of the ticket is attracting and it is the best souvenir of the zoo. On my tickets, I have a mandrill and a giraffe. These 2 tickets are priceless to me. They represent my first journey to Singapore and also my first visit to the singapore zoo. I will use these 2 tickets as bookmarks. Whenever I see these 2 tickets, I will always remember about my trip to Singapore.
Second, I want to talk about the souvenir. I saw many different souvenirs in the shop. My favourite souvenirs are the fish lion sculpture and the tiger hand gloves. I decided not to buy them because I did not have enough money at that time. They are very cute and I really wanted to bring them back to HK. Next time, i promise myself I will bring enough money to Singapore and I will buy both of them next time. Please wait for me.
Next, I want to talk about the frog and the bird. They are vey colourful and I should have put them under other 景點評論 category. However, I can only upload maximum of 8 pictures per 景點評論. So, I include the photos here. I forget the name of the blue bird, but its appearance is so cute that I have to upload its picture. The frog picture is also very interesting. There are 3 different frogs in the same photos. The frogs are different in colour. The photo is one of the best photos I have taken in Singapore.
Special thanks to 大舅父&大舅母. 大舅父 had invited us to travel to Singapore. He let us stay in his house so we didn't have to stay in hotel. We ate many Singapore food at his house. We didn't have to go out to the restaurant to eat lunch and dinner. 大舅母 had cooked delicious meals for us. Too bad that 大舅母 didn't have time to visit the zoo.
I hope I will have a second chance to visit Singapore again. This time my journey is focused on animal, plant and natural environment. Next time I want to focus my journey on singapore traditional food. I want to taste different types of cuisine in Singapore. I want to go to different restaurants to try their delicious food. Will I have the chance to visit Singapore again?
