The first two days of Chinese New Year fell on Thursday and Friday, together with the weekend, many people have the chance to enjoy themselves to the fullest during this super-long weekend.
During these four days, I went to Esplanade to catch the extremely short duration but spectacular fireworks. The river bank was so crowded that there was hardly a place to stand to watch the firework. It was quite an experience for me to see live fireworks as I usually see them only on the tv programmes.
I went to Night Safari Park. It has been quite some time since my last trip there. The entrance ticket was quite expensive ($32 inclusive of a tram ride), but I got a rare chance to see some unusual nocturnal animals such as hyena, bearded pigs, small bats which eat fruits and many other exotic animals at close range. I caught a glimpse of Chawang, the famous largest and heaviest elephant in the park which has beautiful tusks about 1 metre long. The park was very crowded with tourists and the locals. Despite the long queue and waiting time, I managed to catch the show “Creatures of the Night” where selected animals performed some simple tricks.
