My Day To Batu Caves And The Zoo...

Tuesday, November 29, 2005

Before you guys ask why I don't have any pictures in this post seeing that it would have been a great oppotuinity to snap pictures, let me juat say that yours truly forgot to bring the camera.Aihhh...I kept the camera the night before because my mother said the table was getting too 'messy'....So, being Miss Forgetful,I completely forgot about it the next day.*smacks head*

My dad actually took a day off from work just to bring us there as he claimed that the weekends were just too crowded.*shrugs*....Anyway,we left the house at around 8.45 a.m. and went to fetch my cousin.My parents lanned to have brakfast at this supposedly famous coffee shop that sells seafood mee.And let me tell you,that place is so not cheap man.One bowl of noodles,a small one mind you, costs 11 bucks!13 bucks for large...For noodles,I personally think thats a bit too much.Ok,more like extortion of some sort.So maybe they had like a lot of ingredients such as prawns and stuff but still.......oh well,I didn't pay for it.*laughs*

Moving on....we reached Batu Caves at around 10.15 a.m.Now,thinking that I have been going to the gym more often than not,I was feeling especially psyched to actually making it to the top this time.Yup,I have never made it to the top before la.Hey, the last time I came I was 5!Give me a break...Thinking that going to the gym helped boost my stamina,I was like,come on lets go already!After climbing the first oh lets say, 20 steps,I was feeling tired already!Aiyohhhh.....Oh well back to the gym I guess.It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be(yeah and to think I would not feel tired *rolls eyes*)..Anyway,I am so happy to say that I wasn't the only one feeling tired.There were tons of people going up the steps and they looked like they were having a much harder time than us...Heheh..Oh I saw tons of monkeys though..Not like they were cute (Yup,not a big animal person)or anything but the baby ones were oh so adorable!

Happy to say that I made it to the top though.We didn't stay very long at the top since there wasn't a camera so why waste time right?We just mingled for a while , admired the statues and off we go,down the steps once again.It was also starting to smell a little funky up there..*laughs*..Coming down was so much easier although the size of the steps made it a little harder as it was so small...Being acarophobic,I was not having a very good time coming down..It beats the Great Wall though.I was like holding on to the railings the whole time, praying I won't trip and just go flying down..*ouch*

When we finally reached the bottom,we rested for a while then headed off to the zoo.My dad always wanted to get us to go there for reasons unknown because I know HE doesn't really enjoy it...But I'm not complaining..It was a nice change rather than just sitting at home doing nothing.Anyway, went in and the first thing we did was get in line for those car-rides thingy.I'm not really what you call them la.Yup,thats us being lazy...That ride took about 10 minutes around the zoo....Heheh...BUT we did take a walk round the zoo la after the ride.Saw the giraffes, elephants,deers,hippos,white rhinoceros,which weren't really white to say the least of it,more like brown..Hehe..Nothing very interesting except for one little incident.....

Well, we were walking past the lions, and let me tell you,they sleep for about 90% of the day.Now thats my kind of animal..hehhe.As I was saying,I was walking past the lions, my mom,sis and dad were in front but my bro and cuz were behind me still admiring something la.Being half blind,i still refused to wear my specs and was squinting to get a look at the lions seeing as they were quite INSIDE...I thought that my eyes were deceiving me but I thought I saw the male and the female lion on the verge of doing,uh, 'it'.Hahah...Then suddenly my brother,who was behind me, looked past my shoulder and said in this really loud voice "Eeeww....What are they doing?!?"..Needless to say I burst out laughing and my brother and cousin started laughing as well!The noise attracted my parents and they came back to see what was so funny.My mom was like saying all this crappy stuff which got us laughing even harder...Now,THAT was fun.The people beside us were also giving knowing smiles to one another.*wink*...Guess we weren't the only ones...

We left shortly after that as we were dead tired.It was a fun day I must admit although it was something so simple as going to the zoo and Batu Caves...If it was any other day,I think I wouldn't have as much fun as I did today =D

And Yet Life Goes On.....

Saturday, November 26, 2005

Days have been pretty boring lately.Nothing to give it the extra kick it needs.I was just thinking to the time before holidays started and planning all these things to do such as to start studying,clean up my stuff which has been collecting loads of dust,actually do something useful and not waste time...And the list goes on and on.
Sadly,none of it has come close to be completed..I just feel so lazy everyday and am actually looking forward to going back to school.At least then I would have something to do then just laze around.Yup,I've sunk THAT low...
Oh,undoubtedly I have been doing more exercise than usual lately.Courtesy of my mum of course.Haih.I wanna do something funnnnnnn........I can't wait for the next outing for movies ;)

I Wonder....

Sunday, November 20, 2005

A few days ago,out of utter boredom,I picked up my sister's K-zone mag and flipped through it.You might be surprised,but there ARE some fun stuff to read about.Aih,I also picked up the mag because Harry Potter was on the cover la.I'm a sucker for these kind of things.Hahah.

As I was saying,they had this article full of crazy Guinness World Records stuff.Just a few things that I found quite amusing if not weird la.........

::The DB Double Truffle Burger at Bistro Moderne in NYC,USA will cost you RM 440!!....I wonder who in their right mind will wanna fish out RM 440 for a burger la.I can get a burger for RM 5 at McD's man!

::Walk into the Kai Mayfair restaurant in London,England and you'd better make sure you're cashed up.A bowl of soup will cost you RM 690!....I wonder what can possibly be in that soup..

::The ice cream sundae in the Serendipity 3 restaurant in NYC costs RM 3660!It's the world's most expensive sundae and is covered in edible gold leaf.Food with bling-bling on it!....I wonder if it is actually worth THAT much la.Man,I can feel the hole in my pocket just thinking about spending that much on ice cream....

::A simple omelette takes a couple of eggs, a splash of milk and maybe a little cheese and some chives.BUT the Zillion Dollar Lobster Frittata at Le Parker Meridien Hotel in NYC is a cool Rm 3660!!...I won der if it is worth spending that much money on EGGS la..Did they add a whole lobster or something into the omelette?..

::An Englishman named Anthony Baskeyfield paid RM 3790 for a single grape and earnt a Guinness World Record for the most expensive piece of fruit ever bought....Sounds to me like its the rip-off of the century..

::A fan of bugs wandered into a Japanese pet shop and paid a record RM 326,000 for a rare, Giant Stag beetle.At 8 cm long,that's over RM 47,000 per centimetre!!...I personally hate bug and to think that some guy would actually BUY a bug for that much....*shudderss*

::Fancy a game of Monopoly?An 18 carat gold set was made by jewellers in the USA has solid gold houses and hotels with rubbies and sapphires on the chimneys.Even the DICE has has diamonds for spots!The cost?..RM 7.3 million!....Now thats one expensive game to play..And why waste the diamonds on dice for crying out loud!

::A pair of original Gucci 'genious jeans' with fashion-rips in the legs, plus African beading and feathers will cost you RM 11,200!!...I guess looking hot doesn't come cheap..*sigh*

::Top of your day with the world's most expensive bathroom.Found at the back of a Hong Kong jewellery shop,it's got 24 carat gold toilet bowls,washbasins,toilet roll holders, walls and mirror frames,plus a ceiling embedded with precious stones!All for a blingin' RM 12.6 million....I wonder..If thats their TOILET...how much can the jewellery cost?

It is a wonder why some people will spend so much money on such unnecessary things,no?

My Possibly Last Trip To PD.*sigh*

Friday, November 04, 2005

Man this sucks.I got back from Port Dickson yesterday.PD for short.My whole family has always used that term so don't ask why.Anyway,I learnt that that trip to PD was possibly my last trip there.*sobs*.....Let me tell you why this is so depressing to me....

Ever since I can remember,my whole family and my closest relatives have been going to PD.When I mean always,I mean like every year.Without fail my dad will book our usual bungalow and we will just spend a few days lazing around on the beach and yack and yack till our mouths are dry.We go there at least two to three a year,although in recent years it has been less because of our busy schedules and stuff.

I've been going there yearly since I was,what,approximately 7 months old?....Yeah,yours truly was feeling bored once and flipped through the guestbook.I actually found the date as to when I first went there.Figures I was to young to remember it being only 7 months old.

Flipping through my photo album,I found pictures of when I was younger just fooling around with my cousins on the beach.And let me tell you we were so darn cute back then.Hahaha...Good times definately.

Recently,they refurnished the place and it looks so much better with new furnitures and all.AND they just put up a playground.Oh yeah,forgot to mention that there is this huge acre of land right in front of the bungalow.As I was saying,they just put up this playground RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE BUNGALOW and my cousins and I (a reminder that my cousins are older than me) could not be more delighted although our delight is only short lived.Who wouldn't?We need not have to walk more than five feet to the swings!We just spent lazy afternoons and mornings even,on the swings,reliving our childhood memories.Weeee~...Yeah yeah,I still LOVE the swings no matter what you may think.

I must say though that the sea water there is D-I-R-T-Y.I mean,have you ever seen brown water?Ugh.Oh well,more time on the swings and more time for talking!

I forgot to mention the oh so helpful caretaker as well!He's been working there for as long as I can remember and I am pretty sure he was working there even before I was born.He cooks our meals and caters to our every need.He practically saw me grow up I guess.I'll miss him too.He was always so nice to us and never failed to have a smile on his face.

I don't know why,but it was fun-ner on this last trip.Maybe because I haven't gone in a while.Yeah my family went there once or twice without me.Hahaha..but I chose not to go for valid reasons of course.Or maybe it was because I actually got to yack with all my relatives.Seriously,we rarely have occasions like this where we can just laze around.

Oh well.There you have it.My depressing story.Oh did i forget to mention the reason this might be my last tme there?Even I'm not too sure but it seems like another company is buying over the bungalows and my dad won't be able to rent it anymore.=(........Oh well,at least I can keep my memories of that place.=)
