see the sign
Of all the places to go on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, me, jac, don n su ling went to da zoo!! Yes folks, you read rite, like a bunch of small kids, we dengan semangatnyer went to the Malacca zoo. At first, it was Jac's idea when she and i were chatting online. At first i thought she was only kidding, then she say serious and sumhow i felt like she dared me, so i agreed lo. Then she ajak-ed don who called su ling as well. Well, actually, su ling can say was given insufficient amount of info la. All don said was 'We are goin out, wanna join?'. So dengan sportingnyer, the four of us headed there after having lunch together.
reminds me of Madagascar o.o
The zoo hasn't changed much over the years, the last time i went was in form 2 or form 3. Was following sum lawatan sambil belajar thing by my mom's school. There are new animals but most of em seem to be sleeping.. So didn't get many pictures lo. But mostly, the rest of the zoo like biasa la. Luckily for us, the weather today was cloudy although there was a slight drizzle early on. And i have to say, its been a long time since i've walked so much. And i think the two girls also lama d tak exercise so this was a good opportunity for them to stretch their leg muscles (shopping doesn't count :P).
posing...
We saw quite a number of animals there from giraffes, zebras, elephants, tigers, many kinds of cattle and primates amongst others.. It sure was a refreshment course in Nature 101 since most of us just sit at home, eyes either on computer or tv or books (although i do watch National Geographic and Animal Planet so i'm not so sesat la ;) ). Then there was this animal show thing, uhm, basically its like the trainers and the animals buat 'stunts' for the audience la. From birds of prey, smart parrots to snakes and orang utans dat were very well trained. *note : su ling damn scared of snakes :s* . The snake part was damn disappointing cos all they did was pull the snake out of the bag, out of box under the audience bench and show to everyone. They didn't even let you touch the snake let alone take a picture of it. I so wanted to be like Jeff Corwin la :(.
This are zebras k
The ones behind me, are giraffes, k su ling? :P
Then after that, we walk walk walk, took some shelter while it rained, and continued walking and looking. Oh, and with don around, surely there was lots of jokes and pokes through out the day. Variety was there, but most of them seem to be from the cow and deer family. Didn't get to see any rhinos ke, insects ke.. Even the big cats was all sleeping, so there wasn't much to see. Don wanted so much to see Nicky, no not Nicky Sanders from Heroes, Nicky the tiger cub dat was saved from the cooking pot by reporters from The Star. But like the rest, they were nicely sleeping due to the cool weather.
Horny buggers.. damn horny sial
I myself wanted to see the reptile house but sadly, it was very very disappointing. Only thing worth mentioning out of the 5 (or was it 6) enclosures was a BIG ass Burmese python dat was all curled up. Even their crocs also so small. Thought got 7 feet croc dat would make the late Steve Irwin say 'Kirky, thats a big one!' but all i saw was small small ones. Think the bigger ones are in the Crocodile farm across the road from the zoo (maybe some other time we go there?)
Kriky!! It's a small one mate!
Then while we were walking in the Primate enclosure, there was this Gibbon really caught our attention. The fella was camwhoring sial!! Posing all maut maut for the cameras. Laweh, first time i see a primate so eager to pose for humans to snap photo, almost every 3-5 min it will change pose. Damn funny sialz... I remember last time when i was here, i hated to come inside this place cos there was alot of normal monkeys all over.. Never know when they might just attack me. But this time round, satu beruk pun tak nampak. All that was there in the beruk place was a lone horn bill!! Dunno come from where tis sesat fella.

After that walked, saw a few more animals, birds, cracked alot more jokes, and then we went to Mc'Ds in JJ for tea. Although i think Don and Jac was having lunch take 2. Then at night, the three of us, minus su ling but add leo went to New Newton for dinner. Sorry la couldn't stay and chat longer eh.. But jac wanted to go Sunshine with her friends at 10 anyways :P .
Who's the monkey now?
So after a long day, and a long 3 weeks, i'm heading back to KL tomorrow. This time, holidays was also fun. At least i didn't have to stay at home and rot like years before. So can say so far this year, 2 out of 2 sem breaks has been great :) . Oh oh, i got another mohawk cut! I think this one looks better la.. Maybe i'll cam whore next time :P
