Night Safari

Went to Night Safari with Deary today. Last day to redeem the Groupon deal bought months ago. Guess this is the problem with those deals. Always buy it thinking its cheap, but sometimes ended up not using it.

Anyway, quite a nice experience there. Started off with a dinner at Bongos Burger, setting, ambience and service seems like fast-food restaurant, but the food and prices seems more like restaurants.. so overall i think its quite good, as the food is good, and we can watch the performance while eating!

After the fire performance, we went into the park. Quite a huge crowd I would say. Mostly foreigners though, as it is a Sunday. Went for the walking trails first, as the sky is not completely dark yet, so can we guess it will be easier for us to 'spot' the animals. The trails are all shorter than expected, and we only spend like 1 hour to finish all the 4 trails.

Went for the Creatures of the Night show at 8.30pm, great performance! There's interaction with the audience also. Always liked this type of performances that involve the audience. Not that boring. Love the raccoon and otter!

After the show, we quickly get to the tram station to catch a tram. (Because we saw a long queue for it before we went for the show, and it states there Waiting Time: 60mins). We were thinking that if the queue is still as long after the show, might want to give it a miss. Luckily, the queue is much shorter this time round! Manage to get onto the 3rd or 4th tram that comes. Pretty short wait actually. Like the tram ride, as it's cooling to travel on it, and we can see the animals quite closely for some. After the tram ride, it was home sweet home!

Love the elephants, otters, tapiers! there were quite a number of cat species there too!

A great and enjoyable trip, although there is still work tomorrow. Well, but I guess I have sort of grown out of the age that I dread going out on Sundays. Haha, remembered that when I was in Primary and lower Secondary, always dread Sundays, and the last few days of school holidays. Will feel really down during those days. Come to think of it now. 与其闷闷不乐地让时光蹉跎，倒不如好好地享受最后的假期，使自己过得更充实，更开心。

再过两个星期，就要带学生去台湾了。好多筹备工作似乎都没做好。感觉很没有安全感。看来这两周有得忙了！还得准备第四学段的配套等。不过，我却不会觉得压力很大，只是偶尔想要发发怨气罢了。仔细想来，也不是那么多事情做。

忙里偷闲

好一个忙忙碌碌的第三学段！突然间，觉得有点喘不过气來。琐琐碎碎，点点滴滴，大大小小，使我朝朝暮暮，日日夜夜皆无法松懈。
HA,enrichment,immersion,弟子规，书法，阅读计划……还没提及cca 和 lesson ob。加上swc,level rep的工作，突然觉得工作好繁重！
突然间，他又和我提及这么一个沉重、烦人、懊恼的课题。唉，我所需要的那些鼓励与支持在哪儿呢？？有必要在我如此繁忙的时段來和我商议此事吗？
明知不是一朝半夕能解决的问题，何苦如此执着呢？
我的动力在哪儿？！
好想忙里偷闲，真的好想。但什么都提不起劲。只希望能够拥有双倍的时间。我那万能的小叮当，你在哪儿？我急需要你！
