I have a lot to say


     Since my last post we went to the Singapore Zoo, the Bird Park and saw some Chinese lion dances.  I also had my birthday and went to Bintan, Indonesia.  Everything was a lot of fun!

     Here are some pictures of my favorite animals from the zoo.
     This is a picture of my favorite animal, the white tiger.    They are very rare and they have two of them.
 
There are a ton of baboons here as you can see.
 
      Baboons are known for their bright red bottoms.  It looks like they are sitting on bright red cushions they are so puffy!















     This is me sitting outside the Komodo dragons enclosure.  It is HUGE and sleeping right now.  Thank goodness!

     Our next adventure was to the Jurong Bird Park where we ran into the Chinese lions.  We got our picture taken with them.











     The lions were dancing on poles and they were jumping and growling.  When I petted one after the picture it growled at me.  GRRR!

     On my birthday weekend the Chinese lions came to bless our condominium.  We watched them dance and then chased after them. Every time we followed the lions somewhere they chased us away snapping their mouths at us. When the lions were dancing they threw oranges at us. If you catch one it’s supposed to be ‘GOOD LUCK’. I was so excited when I caught one!










     Here is what it looked like when the lions were chasing us.


     We took our picture with this weird Chinese new year guy.  He went around making peace signs with his fingers

     The next day was my birthday.  All the girls in my class came and we had fun drawing with face paint crayons and wearing fake mustaches.     My party was at the function room at our condominium by the pool so we also went swimming.

      You might think we look crazy but we haven’t gone mad yet.


     Having a great time with all my friends at the pool. 






     These are the cupcakes that we had.  We had vanilla and chocolate and they were yummy!  My mom put candles on them that I blew out.

     Last weekend we took a ferry ride to Bintan, Indonesia.  I got seasick on the boat and threw up on my mom.  Oops!  We stayed in a chalet on the beach.  A chalet is basically a cabin.  When we walked out of our chalet we were right on the beach.   I was knocked under the water so many times I still have sand in my ears.  There were a lot of great waves and one was so big it made me do a back flip in the water.  Some even knocked my dad down.





     This is a couple chalets







     Here I am digging a big hole








     We ate dinner at the poolside restaurant and my mom walked by the dessert station and found these cute little tiny bananas.  My mom kept teasing Mason that they were the perfect size for a monkey like him.  Ha! I love getting juices here and back in Singapore since they always make them fancy.  Even Shirley temples with cherries!!!!
 
     We are headed back home to Singapore and I am holding a barf bag and sucking on a lollipop that is actually motion sickness medicine because my mom is afraid I will puke on her again.  I didn’t get sick this time!

     I really miss you all and I hope I can get back sooner than I did this time.  I wish it was snowing here. I am totally jealous of you.  J
