Another Late POST!
The exciting day of going to Taronga Zoo has finally arrived! Can't wait to meet all the cute animals out there in the zoo! Man, I feel like a child once more! This super good feeling should be cherished till the end of time!
Agreed on meeting with the others in the city outside Queen Victoria Building. Apparently, Cim and I were the first ones to arrive. We took a stroll in this authentic building. It's a mall. There are series of branded shops lining up on both sides of the corridor. Hmm.. How I wish I could remember all the branded names so that I could list them all right here and made you all readers feel depressed of not knowing as much brands available in the world available in this old building. But here I am, not as much as a branded wiz you all might think I might be because I was really big headed just a second ago.
So there we were, strolling around the mall, wandering around the mall in the intention of finding a toilet on the ground floor. But in fact there is no toilet on the ground floor that's why we have to climbed up the rusty old victorian stairs to the first floor in search for a place to sooth ourselves.
Eventually, Cim got a call from Ci Grid saying that she was inside QVB. We didn't see her though. She was in a chocolate shop.
There was a street musician promoting his album. I forgot his name but I love his first song. It was really melodious and such an easy-listening song. Moreover, it is such a great song to listen to in the morning!

Ci Grid was with Ko Sui and Untoro.

We were still waiting for Raymond and Ko Arnold to come! We took a nibble of these glorious milk chocolate biscuits. Ci Grid also shared her newly bought chocolates from Haigh's.

The entrance ticket of Taronga Zoo is $31.50 for student and I forgot how much it is for the adult tickets. Just trying to inform you all that, there are a lot of photos in this photo and minor text involved. So please, do read on or just scroll down the pictures for loads of fun!

So, firstly, we went to watch the Bird Show! It was ultimately gorgeous! I love how all the birds are really well trained and they were so synchronised entering to the stage and all. Two thumbs up from me! I especially love the falcon part most! This little bird is too fast.
I wish I had taken snapshots on a faster camera to compensate the birds' speed rate. But nonetheless, it was a great show, I totally enjoyed myself. Most importantly, for all of you who are curious about this beautiful show should check out Sydney's Taronga Zoo!

After the show we went on to eat some grub. But we made some quickie stops to look at the animals we passed!
 |
| ooh is that Indonesia I see on the globe |

 |
| Saw ci Tika's name here. |
 |
| it's amazing that I am taller than this sun bear. |

There was a hilarious incident, *clears throat* well to be in fact a misfortunate incident for Untoro. So, in order to cherish this memory, I'm going to blog about it!
Anyway, Raymond can't squeeze out the tomato sauce for his burger. Ko Sui tried to help him squeezing it. And out of nowhere, the sauce squirted out from an unknown hole of the tomato sauce plastic cup/packet (Idk what's that called but it's different from Indonesia's tomato/chilli sauce packaging). So the sauce squirted and landed on Untoro! HAHAHAA.. Sorry Unto (if you're reading, I have a terrible habit of laughing at people's misery, it's uncontrollable). He immediately cleaned his hoodie with wetted tissues. The hoodie is alright now (it's been a week since we went to Taronga zoo, it's a super late post, I know, I only edited the date to be the same as the real date of us going there, too many redundant words used, but who cares, let's just prioritise the flow of the text).
Then, we proceeded and watched the elephants! Love them so much. They are beautiful creatures indeed.

 |
| this is a pelican (perhaps?) |
 |
| splendid view |
 |
| seal! |
Just before the seal show starts, I talked to Santa on the phone. I was being really loud. The people beside me were looking at me in an angry manner. Felt bad though.
 |
| that cap scares me. it looks like it has eyes and a mouth |
 |
| love this post |
Went on to see gorillas!
 |
| a balance |
 |
| don't forget to drink enough water to avoid dehydration! |
 |

 |
| aaa.. the kangaroo was sleeping! |
 |
| koala is sleeping |

Most of the animals that day were sleeping! This was an utter disappointment! Less engagement of humans to animals!

| forgot what this bird is called |
 |
| duck lips! |
I just realised that my outfit day was a bit rastafarian to some extent. With all the color blocks there and the knitted cap. Ci icing told me I look like
bang surip, an Indonesian singer who sang reggae songs.
