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
