Today the Singapore gang went to the Helsinki Zoo! It’s not fancy and beautiful like Singapore’s zoo… it’s more like a park. I shall put up some pictures and tell you about the lion story!
The entrance to the Zoo…
Monkey, duh. Haha but quite a cute one
An eeeky anaconda!! Haha this picture is to make my mom get goose bumps Haha!!
A really disgusting duno-what
This is a mongoose… and guess what? Haha one zoo “tour guide” took some rose beetles (which was an exhibit opposite from the mongoose) and fed the mongoose!!! Hahaha it was quite a funny scene… an exhibit feeding another exhibit. *faintz*
This is a real crocodile… riiiight
Camels!
Brown bears
3 owls in a row! Haha so cuteOk, there are more animals but nothing fantastically different; these are the slightly more blog-worthy ones.
Now for my lion story!!! Ok see this lion? It’s less than a meter away from me… security is not very high you see. Anyway, stood there for quite a while talking and making noise to see if he would “wake up” and face us… and we were all joking about grabbing a long stick (which so happened to be one the ground in front of us) to poke it.
I forgot to mention that animal rights people please dun get offended.
Anyway, ya, so I was saying that in Singapore you’ll never get this close to a lion! So close that you can actually put your finger in there and touch its fur (which of course you would probably not get your finger back, haha). Anyway we lingered there and then I got tempted to try getting its attention.

See this little stick? I threw one at him… and then *jaws music*. The little twig brushed the lion’s mane and wow, he’s reflexes are amazing!
In a split second he practically jumped up into this position with a growl. And xia4 si3 (stunned) the guys who didn’t know that I just did that. Haha.
So then he turned around to face us… which was totally fun cos we got to take so many close up pictures with him!
And then… he stretched and gave a huge yawn!
close up of the yawn!
And then after a while… he returned to his backside position… haha.That’s all! But it was really cool to have a chance to be so close to a lion!
