Domestic tourist

You don't really need to be traveling overseas to have optimal fun. In a span of two days, I visited Bishan Prawn Fishing near the Golf Driving Range and the Night Safari.

I wasn't the one prawn-fishing; I was there to just relax with a book. I ended up reading and shared bit-size points with two friends on the law of attraction, and observe how they fish, and lending a hand when a harvested prawn start to get defensive with its relatively huge pincers. That's multi-tasker Jan for you.

There are restaurants, BBQ pits if you want to consume your catch fresh, and services for fish spa and foot reflexology. Quite a good place to relax at!

My first visit to the Night Safari was in 1994 during its initial month of opening. I remember nothing much about it except the fun I had with my Career Awareness Team (CAT) in school then. It wasn't exceptional memorable also because 15 years have passed... So here I come again!

We trailed instead of trammed as it was more economical and less restrictive. The safari is paved with limited lights so adjusting in the dark rain forest environment could be a task but the good company made it easy. Oh, and we played "Spot the Animal" game because some of them camouflage really well! Though a tad too warm for my liking, it was all in all a thumbs up experience.

The Creatures of the Night Show is nice though it can prove to be worth my wait if the owl is showcased. A good five minutes was spent on talking about the "No Flash" rule and the other what nots. The "No Flash" rule applies to the entire safari enclosure to avoid unnecessary surprises and damage to the residents' eyesight.

Do pay the nocturnal folks a visit soon and start exploring what other local places of interest have to offer! Next spot: Consider the museums...
