## Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride

Caught Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride at Cathay Cineleisure. It was quite average, I expect the jokes to be better but it turn out so-so only. Wonder why 8 Days give it a 4.5 stars rating. 

There is a new Sony Gallery opened at Paragon, much bigger than Wisma Atria’s one.

## Singapore Zoological Garden

Went to the Zoo on Sunday morning. Suppose to be there at 8:30am, but as you know we can’t wake up, so end up reaching the zoo at about 10:15am. 

We woke at around 9am to prepare sandwiches and cocktail sausages. LiXiang and I prepared 2 loaves of Gardenia Bread, imagine 2 person eating 2 loaves of bread? LOL, but end up we can finish also.

The entrance fee is now $15 for adults and the tram ride is $4.

I think it has been 10 years or more since I been to the zoo, it changes so much especially at the entrance when I last saw it. Now there is a water fountain just at the entrance and the entrance is so much nicer now. The inside of the zoo is still quite old, don’t see that much of a changes besides some new stuffs like plasma televisions, treetop walk, mini garden, food crops etc.

The zoo is quite small actually, managed to see most of the animals within the 6 hours spent there.

After the zoo trip, took the wrong direction on the PIE, we end up going to Toa Payoh Lorong 8 eating dinner.

While going home by CTE, just a thought that we pop by Plaza Singapura because LiXiang wanted to go Spotlight to buy some pearls. I bought a QuickSilver lanyard for my mp3 player.
