Zoo visit 19032008
On the faithful day which Thambi, Wakabi Cheeky Monkey, The Great Khali, Crazybaby, Dustman, SWO Vasanthan (30 years in the army) before he left for India on Thursday, I have decided to bring him to a zoo. For almost 2 years in army, he has never been to any of Singapore's tourist attraction, even though he is a foreigner. And yet, he has served NS, and now as he go back, is he not going to take back anything at all? That was when I have decided to take a day off to bring him around one of the best zoos in the world, the Singapore Zoo.We met at Ang Mo Kio interchange, taking a bus down to the zoo. For starters, the "zoo" offered to take a picture for us at the entrance. Later, we found out that those pictures were taken from an external company, costing $18 each, something which I can do for $10 or even less? Thambi bought it anyway. I could always get a digital copy from him when he's back in India. Moving on, we walked around the whole zoo, covering every corner of the park. We visited otters, white tigers, hippos, kangaroo, baboons, giraffe, seal, lion, slow lorris, cheetah, polar bear, finally ending at 2+.
Was fun enjoying time with him one last time. The next time we would meet could well be the next year, when he has to reapply his passport. Perhaps then we could get the whole platoon down together? There will be no goodbyes in this world :)
was once a cute chubby boy back in his secondary school days. Until the day he was brought into army. His BMTC in Ninja Company (2006) and 35SCE Survey Platoon (2006-2007) brought
about a transformation (and a little quirkiness) in him. He obtained superhuman powers and is now called, the Super Pioneer! By day, he is a lazy bum who slacks around at home,
blogging and doing useless things. By night, he turns into Super Pioneer, doing the relentless works that is given to him. After the defeat of his Arch Nemesis, The Brain,
Super Pioneer Daron is moving on with his life and onto the next villian, the NUS Monster.
