totally outrageous!

Read this website about how students of Monash University use live rabbits for experiments!

It's so cruel and I thought there are rules which govern the use of live animals in laboratories.

Do your part now!

ah meng...

Heard the news that Ah Meng passed away last week, on the second day of CNY...

I remembered how we always used to say fondly when we were young that when we go to the zoo, we would go and look for Ah Meng. She was always associated with the zoo. One mention of her and anyone would know where to find her. She was so famous that when I was young, we also called each other nicknames and one of them which we would use is her name.

Really sad that she's gone... the zoo seems strange without her... I will always remember this lady orang utan who forms so much of my childhood memories of the zoo. I want to thank her for the wonderful memories she has given me about the Singapore Zoo, her legacy...

She'll be deeply missed by many...
