ART ZOO + MARINA BAY CARNIVAL

Hey guys, so it's actually D-Day of me flying to Shanghai (totally editing this blog post while waiting for my flight)!! To be very honest, I'm quite excited and scared at the same time mainly because I'm not sure what I'm expecting in a country that I'm visiting for the very first time. Well, 3 weeks in a foreign country without my parents, but solely depending on me myself and I, it'll definitely be a challenge to me. Hopefully, I'll be able to enjoy 
and at the same time survive the 3 weeks HAHAHA😂.

Anyways, back to the main topic of this blog post LOL (sorry i tend to divert very quickly). This was actually my first time visiting the Art Zoo with YuHong Jie and it was actually worth the experience. Not only can you take amazing pictures, it also brings back those childhood memories of going to those bouncing castles😛.

Fun fact: We didn't actually plan to go Art Zoo but since we have never been there before and there was still a few hours before the Marina Bay Carnival opens, 
so why not fully utilise our time right? 😉

-----

Walking across the DNA Bridge (just kidding, it's the Helix Bridge) to Art Zoo!!


Bought our tickets🎫 but going in under the extremely hot sun🌞


Hi YuHong Jie👀


We're inside Art Zoo!! Time to explore🙌


Since the weather was extremely hot, we decided to seek shelter first. Thus, our first stop:

// The Beetles //

where there are many bouncy balls with an emoji imprinted on it.


There were quite a number of people there but we managed to find one bouncy ball😎



Why not take a picture with a pink ladybug, since both my shirt and my bag matches that colour right? 😝💖


We decided to go to the other end, before deciding to go in a anti-clockwise direction😁

Next stop:

// BBB - Bubbly Bear Bath //

Well, this inflatable is wet so we needed to take off our shoes (and socks). 
As much as I find this inflatable cute, I didn't like the smell of the rain water🙃

But look at us, so tiny HAHAH



HAHAHA LOOK AT HER
(till now I'm still confused if it's a bee or not, because the wings cannot be at the bottom right?)



Since our feet are wet, we just walked on the grass to dry our legs HAHAHA
(of course we took our belongings and shoes lah)

Next stop:

// Yeti's Peak //

There's only one Yeti in the middle of the inflatable (just keep scrolling down)



Here's a picture of a cute mountain(?)


The Alpacas attracted me the most HAHAHA
ISN'T IT CUTE THO😆


I obviously fell down with the Alpacas (cuz I'm too heavy hais LOL)


Here's YuHong Jie with the Yeti👀


Next stop:

// Yellow Woods //

The main highlight of this inflatable is the cute tiger rawr🐯



Next stop:

// Black Forest //

Why not take pictures with the gorillas right? 🌚



HAHAHA LOOK AT YUHONG JIE WITH THE ZEBRA🤣


Wanted to seek shelther again but this inflatable not fully sheltered HAHAHA

Next stop:

// Little Kong //

IT'S SO HUGE, LOOK AT US SUPER TINY (can you even see us LOL)


See her just dab? AHAHAHA




Another inflatable that is wet😭 but the smell of the water wasn't that bad, maybe they sprayed fragrance inside (or maybe my mind just think it's okay since it's pink🤔)

Next stop:

// Pink Lagoon //





Hi, why not a selfie with the Flamingo right? 🤗


Next stop:

// Checkmates //

Lots of penguins on one side and lots of owls (looks like pigeons tho HAHA) on the other side

Here's a panorama of YuHong Jie with the owls/pigeons🦉


Why not a selfie with Mr Penguin right? 🐧
(cuz we resemble a lot - some of you know what I mean HAHA)


Because we have been bouncing and jumping on the inflatables and it's time for us to rest.
This inflatable is quite a good place to rest since the sunlight is blocked by 
the huge huge penguins HAHAHAHA


Once we recharged our energy, we went to the next inflatable

Next stop:

// Green River //

Look at that huge mouth of the crocodile


Decided to take at the mini crocodile's mouth
How cute can the water lilies and crocodiles look😁



HAHAHA OMG



Here's me with the humongous mouth of a huge crocodile


Next stop:

// Candy Canyon // 

Can you spot the iguana? (pss it's yellow in colour👀



YUHONG JIE SO CUTE😄



WHAT A CUTE IGUANA


We decided to chill here again because it was very cooling wew🌬


Some selfies hehe 📷



Next stop:

// Purple Meadows //

Surrounded by so many moles



Meet Mr Hedgehog



Why not take a selfie right? 🌚


Next stop:

// Blue Bay //

I love Otters but what's with the hands tho HAHAHAHA



Cute lil(?) otters
Actually no, they'll quite huge🤣



Next stop:

// Orange Rocks //

Lots and lots of CUTE elephants



HAHAHA I REALLY LIKE HER POSES



Last stop:

// Red Reefs //

Lots of RED coral REefs but the flowers(?) look cute too🌼 

What's with my face tho HAHAHA




YuHong Jie looks so happy here🙆




Spot me? 🤓


Spot YuHong Jie? 😆


Goodbye Art Zoo. It was definitely a magical and wonderful first-time experience😉


It was time to go to the Marina Bay Carnival since we have visited all of the inflatables at Art Zoo. At that point of time, it was quite crowded with people already! 
Thankfully we managed to find a table for ourselves wew😚



We were actually quite full so we ordered a little😬


The neon lights at night✨




Walking to the MRT after a long day😱



Shall end this blog with a selfie of me and YuHong Jie hehehe💗 Even though this happened like half a year ago (omg time flies), I still remember the times we were bouncing so happily on every single inflatable. As much as we felt super tired after the 2nd inflatable, I felt super duper happy to be able to relieve my childhood all over again. Fun fact: I did not like bouncy castles in the past as a kid because there will be other kids' saliva on it and it's quite unhygientic, but thankfully no saliva encounter LOL HAHAHA.

To YuHong Jie: You've finished your 5 semesters of school, jiayous for your intern next sem okay!! Can't wait to go to your graduation ceremony next year and give you a bouquet of flowers hehehe😉 Look how happy we are in the picture😭 See you real soon💞


Well, see yall in the next blog post after I come back from Shanghai. Take care~
