Neale, my 'BOSS' CG leader brought me out that night together with another Sarawakian friend of his, Nyaring to the Night Safari. The drive there was unexpectedly long. We were at the edge of Singapore and Malaysia already when we finally got there.
First things first... Dinner! Bongo Burgers!
We both just let Neale do the ordering. When the food came... Well, the DRINKS came first.
Interesting 'cups', eh? Hahah... Wait till you see the burgers and chips!
Notice the chips? Take a closer look at the burgers...
Nothing too special? take a CLOSER look.
BIG and BEEFY! REAL beef pattes! I would say this is DEFINITELY on par with BK's Whopper and McD's Big Mac!
We joined the 'Creatures of The Night' Show first. Many animals were so well-trained and cute and adorable and obedient(most of the time) and... Well... Even the TRAINER was entertaining!
They had this kid come up to test some mongoose-squirrel-like type of animal(which i forgot the name) smell out the grape in his hand.
This big, (not-so-)macho man was 'volunteered' up by his friends to have this huge python/anaconda be hung around him. He could NOT wait to get off the stage. Poor guy...
Going back to the first place, I got some pics taken with 3 animals for a reasonable price of $10(which goes back to the animals).
You can tell what animals they are, aye?
Oh and don't worry about me. I could still see where the snake was going. I was wearing contacts anyway... Besides, they're supposed to be well-trained and harmless, right? Uh... Miss Zookeeper, please don't stand so far away...
Then, we watched the indigenious ppl of Borneo perform. They're basically the ppl that Nyaring see everyday back home for Nyaring.
This guy was actually brought to that 'high position' on his STOMACH! WOW!! STRONG ABS!! *Whistles 'huiuwit!'*
The others' were blowing the darts using their blowpipe-thingies to pop the balloons. Cool...
The fire-breathing performance.
I was just really impressed by their long breaths. They could keep breathing out fire for a LOT longer than I could breath air!
The animals were only visible to us and not the camera so can't show you any pics of 'em. Sorry. This reservoir was just breathtaking! HAD to take a picture of it.
Such calm waters, eh?
Our LAST picture together before leaving as midnight was crawling closer.That's Nyaring in the middle!
Visits to places like these just help me appreciate how wonderful God's creations are and the blatant examples of the irresponsibility of humans! I say this Night Safari is a MUST-visit for anyone who comes to Singapore!! WHEE!!!

Ooo.. U finally visited night safari. hehe.
Didja have to wait in line long kah? Coz tat time when I went, it was sooo long up till the entrance thr. Heh
Actually he's not really 'breathing' out fire. I've seen this guy done it before back in St. Co. they have a whole mouthful of alcohol in their mouth and sorta sprays it out to the fire with much force to make the 'spray', with the fire-stick thingy (hehe.. forgot what it's called) in front of their mouth. hence the whole 'blowing out fire' thing. haha.. and i saw it on tv before too. :) so nice you have fun!! :)

Lyn. Yeah, it was very obvious that they're using alcohol but... these ppl were using kerosene. They're downing it right in front of the audience. But... It's STILL awesome how they could keep 'spraying' so much kerosene over such a lnog period, like... (5 secs?)
