We left home around 8.10 but the bus took 20 minutes to come, wow thanks, SBS. Needed that. We walked down to the next bus stop to wear the time out. I wore crocs today! And I realised that I have 3 pairs of flip flops. 1 pair of white ipanema (I only remember this brand because Phyllis told me before that it's I Pa Ni Ma (I'm scared of your mother) haha my senior), 1 pair of green flippers and 1 pair of crocs. Relax though, I didn't buy any of them myself. I've had the white ones since I was 11. I've had the green ones since I was... 13? And I think my mother bought those crocs last year and I wore them for the first time today. I thought about how I would've preferred yellow annoying crocs instead just to be annoying hahaha.
We took over an hour to reach the bird park and we spent the next couple of hours exploring the park. I was really excited at first. I know I love animals so I thought I'd love visiting all the different enclosures and getting right up close to the different birds but right after we visited the first enclosure, my sister and I agreed that it was really depressing lol. Most of the birds looked slightly psycho, sometimes I was felt like I was in an asylum. The larger flightless birds would fix their gaze on us. They'd glare into our eyes and with this contained and concealed wildness- I reminded my sister that most of them "would eat you if they could". The smaller birds were kept in cages. They'd fly over to the metal grills and practically throw themselves against it before clinging onto the thin metal with their claws. Then they'd stare at you and start screeching. The loudest and shrillest screeches I've heard. And I was a piccoloist. And some of them are trained like dogs. Which is the whole point though. Then we figured that the birds can never be released into the wild anyway. Because most of them wouldn't even know how to fend for themselves since they were brought up in a metal box (incubator > brooder > cage).
Anyway, I had a good day with my sister. Rare day spent with her. Is this an abrupt ending? Hehe sorry ok I'll tell you about something else.
We were in this aviary. Lory enclosure. Lories love honey. Some honey mixture was sold to visitors so that they would be able to feed the lories. And these mixtures were sold in plastic containers, like tiny bowls. Someone littered and left a container lying on the floor. I picked it up with the intention of properly disposing it but there was a bit of honey left. And there was a lory about 50cm away from me. So I offered that lory the remaining honey and it came over to me hehehe. I was so happy because I managed to feed that lory. It came up to my bowl and dipped it's head it. Hehehehe happy chow. Alright, that's the brightest moment of my adventure HAHA.
O yeah, while I was traveling through the west I took photos of JCube and Boon Lay MRT and sent them to Rai and Jov hehe. Just to annoy them. They're always complaining that I never want to visit them in the west o well.
