LegoLand Johor Bahru and Panda Kai Kai and Jia Jia Visit, Singapore Zoo

Due to rainy seasons during end of the year
Many outings were delayed and stranded
However, it has granted a good experience too

The sky turned gray at noon contrary to its nature

Rain started tapping on the roof playing some sort of musical show
First few drops and then there came a downpour
The first drop weren't drops but a deluge of cascading water
As if the sky was an open faucet as the rain falls in oversized droplets

When one hits a solid surface, it splashes, bouncing off and breaking apart
Into smaller beads which then succumb to gravity heading towards the soil
Right underneath you...
The rain lasted only a few minutes but the sound
The sound of rain hitting the roof was pure heaven
The sun was seen hidden behind ashen clouds looming on thee horizon
Above the inner-city buildings, creeping into what would be suburbia

As it stopped, I walked out and there was moisture in the air
The smell was instantly reminiscent of any morning
Back in the states after a night time deluge
The ground was wet, the air was cool and crisp like fall
For a moment I simply stood there
Breathed in the smell of something other than dirty, dusty air
As crowds busy moving in and out of the shop entrance
I moved towards the gate awaiting departure back to Singapore

The whole experience ranging from lining up for tickets
Till the line of hundred people at the entrance
It took us about 1.5 hours long but worth waiting
The food there was costly as they seemed to overcharge us
However once in a blue moon that I don't really bother

We only managed to visit 3 parks out of 7 parks
The Beginning, Legocity and Miniland parks
We will pay another visit maybe March 2013
For a complete tour around Legoland
Hoping no more soaked pig feet for him :D

The next day Panda Visit was awesome
5 years old male panda Kai Kai (victorious)
4 years old female panda Jia Jia (beauty)
Made their public debut in Singapore for the first time
Singapore devoted millions of dollars to a climate-controlled enclosure
Designed to promote breeding in the island's humid tropical climate
Personally I felt cold inside cause I don't have much hair like panda?

They are selling Panda Pau at the price of $2.90 per piece
And the price of bundle of 4 at $11.50 with inner tau sah ingredient

We hopped onto the moving tram several times and were taken on tour
And had our buffet lunch at a luxurious dining restaurant

It were under dim light much like a candle light dinner
He and I ate quite generously as we were starved due to the rainy season
As the rain stopped we headed to board taxi and continued shopping

Now the rains seemed to pass and the winds are calmed lately
I waited patiently for their return but until then I'll probably be doing something
Even if it snows I will be thanking God for granting such an impossible weather
