Singapore Zoo 2009

Dad loves animals and Mum enjoys helping Dad taking care of then. Since small, there were always new family members coming in and going out.

Surprisingly, they have never been to any zoo together. Thanks to his uncle, the first attempt somehow landed them in Jurong Bird Park back when they first visited Singapore. The second attempt in Melaka strangely ended up in the Malacca Crocodile Farm instead of zoo because Dad couldn’t find his way.

So after 29 years, the son brought the parents to the zoo instead. His second trip there actually, but it’s free this time courtesy of company’s welfare.

Earlier this year, he submitted some pictures taken in Hort Park for a photography competition organized by the park itself.

Last month, he received a phone call from the organizer to ask for permission to display his pictures in the gallery for visitors. He gladly accepted. Sadly, he was also informed that none of his submissions were shortlisted for the winning candidates. Anyway, he was still delighted to find more than one of his submissions being exhibited when he visited Hort Park last weekend. (more…)
