First Zoo Trip in Australia

Yeap, today is I have my first trip to the zoo after almost a year I've been living in Australia. Yaayyy!! Finally I went to the zoo (Alma Park Zoo) and saw the Koalas, Dingos and Kangaroos. Well, actually it was part of my life drawing class (if it wasnt because of this class, I might never go to the zoo) hahaha... - I'm not a big fan of animals except for Siberian Tiger and Snow Leopard. I mean, I dont really mind with them, I just dont really like touching them or being around them in a close distance. I love looking at them but not to touch them. Besides some of them are smelly and they have fleas on their bodies and that makes me....... 'hiiiyyy!!!''' *brrr*

Anyway, we supposed to produce like 5 or 6 pages of drawings there. So we spread around alone or in a group and tried to find some animals to draw. Maya and I took heaps of pictures while we're finding some objects to draw. Well, what can we do? Cant really help this Narcissism... hahahaha... But I managed to draw 7 pages.

Here are some of the pictures of our Narcissism Moment in da Zoo :


I look taller and slimmer in this photos (thanks Maya), anyway apart from myself look taller and slimmer, I like the environment, feels like movie poster.. haha..



Me and Koala

(my friend's rite they're not that amazing, they're sleep all day and smelly but they're quite cute.. hehe)



Me and the Roos


(Why did I touch it?? Well, my friend Maya told me, "It's not everyday u gonna see a Kangaroo!! So touch it while u're in Australia!! TOUCH ITTTT!!!", So I closed my eyes and touched it.. T_T I tried so hard to smile, a bit scared they gonna kick me or smtg.. But lucky this one that I took a pic with was pretty nice and calm... so phieww..)

I prefer Roos than Koalas. it's fun and quite challenging to draw them, lots of movements and their shape are unique. :D


We also took pictures of some other 'never-before-seen' animals.. hehehe...

Guinea Pig

(Never seen this one before, even tho my friend said that they're exist in Indonesia!! hmm..)



Common Marmoset

(noisy lil' creatures)




Our Daily 'Food'.. mwahahaha..





Bonus Story ;p :

Pet? Yea, I had a pet once, it's not like I'm an animal hater or smtg. It was a rabbit (and rabbit doesnt smell nor have flees ^^). His name was Sovanovsky de Bellen (I know, it was too cool for a rabbit's name) a.k.a Novsky, Oky, or Gendut (In Indonesian it means 'fatty' or 'fat ass', depends on how u say it.). It was like once in a life time moment. He was supposed belong to my friend, Vera. She bought it, I was just accompanied her when she bought it. But he always wanted to be close with me, so Vera told me to keep it. Anyway, he got sick and died after a week I had him. (my mum said maybe his name was too 'heavy' for him that's why he died.. Mum!! How could u? hiiks.. T_T) I was kinda traumatic with that. I was so daaamn sad and really cried for him. I dont wanna keep any rabbits since then. Scared of losing something. I hate the feelings of losing something. Not only sad but also hopeless when you cant do anything to bring it back.
