Of Fur and Stripes.

I thought of lion’s fur and zebra stripes, therefore the title above.
I went to A’ Famosa last week and I thought I’ll blog about that.
Not the famous Portuguese A’ Famosa fort , but the recreational A’ Famosa thingy.

My classmates and I, 5 of us went for a day trip to that place located in Alor Gajah, the journey from the apartment I’m staying takes about 30 minutes.

We left at ten, and decided to go to A Famosa Animal World Safari since I have always wanted to go to the zoo anyway.

The place has really developed since the last time I was there, now they have the animal world safari, the cowboy town, and the water world as main attraction, and other facilities like golf, resorts and so on.

So we got our tickets, RM50 including lunch.

As we get in, we were offered to take pictures with two not red Indian looking man but trying to disguise as red Indian man. One of them was so sweaty that I was disgusted.

As the recreation place is intended to make money as usual, by the time we left the place our pictures were already developed and sold at a ridiculous price of RM12. All of us bought it anyway for memory sake.

Next we explored the animals surrounding the place. There were emu’s who didn’t like the way their name was spelled so they surrounded the name board and pecked it, and pecked it over and over again.

The raccoons were eager to get food from the visitors. There were vendors selling all kinds of vegetables to feed the animals there.

The animals at the walk thru area varied from flamingos, rabbits, porcupines, tapirs, ponies, emus, camels, deer’s, in other words animals who aren’t so violent are chucked into the walk thru area.
Next we went for the bird show at 12 p.m. The show was pretty good, birds are really smart. There were birds who could ride bicycles, fly through hoops, sing birthday songs and all that. In the picture the guy is holding a hornbill.

After that we went for the safari with caged trucks. My, the road was so bumpy that it felled like a roller coaster ride.

There were crocodiles, lions, lioness, zebras who weren’t very friendly and greeted us by showing their asses, giraffes and many other kinds. I was disappointed as I wanted to see a hippopotamus.

Then we went for lunch, lunch was good as I was really hungry. Walking makes people hungry, tired and sweaty.

At 4.30 we went for the wild wild west show which got me excited at first as red Indians came riding in really fast with horses and gun shots, explosions and all that. After 5 minutes, the stupid antics of the cowboys and particular clown bore me and my friends down so we went off.

Oh yeah, while waiting for the show to begin we were making quite a scene as Kimi stupidly put the hand fan near my hair and a whole bunch of my hair got entangled in it. It was so painful and we spent an awful long time detangling it from the fan while I was making lots of noise due to the discomfort. The others, were laughing happily away..

Finally we went to Monkey Island, where we took a jetty there. There were as stated, monkeys on the island. Some were in glass exhibits. There was this particular gibbon, which scared the hell out of me. I was walking through looking at the monkeys, and this freaking naughty Gibbon was hiding at the side which I didn’t see, and when I walked through it jumped at me. I shouted like crazy. And Alex laughed and laughed, and said it was the highlight of the day. How mean!

Around the island there were this breed which I don’t know the name, very small in size were roaming freely all over the island. And the cutest part was there were a lot of Mummy monkeys carrying their tiny baby on the back. We even spotted one which was still kind off new born.

After that we got out of the Animal World Safari and went exploring. The guys wanted to play paint ball and since there were only 5 of us, we skipped the idea and went for Go- Kart. It wasn’t adrenaline rushing as I expecting. Boo! Kimi even said he was drifting, I didn’t feel the drift also.. Hehe…

That was the end of our trip, we reached home around six and it was really fun, but I couldn’t feel my legs due to long hours of walking! I can’t wait for our next trip out !

Class starts again.......

This semester I would be taking 3 subjects,

-COMPUTER APPLICATIONS I


-ENGLISH II


-PRINCIPLES OF ECONOMICS II

Hopefully ill enjoy them, since it's a short sem i think my schedule would be rather hectic. But i would be able to focus more on the subjects since it's three instead of five.

I am not really happy about the timetable given; I have 3 slots of eight o’clock classes.
AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

shouts out loud with happy face. -_-

I am so not a morning person.
People who are close to me especially my mum know that I’m especially grumpy and moody in the morning.
Hehe, thinking about those days when she had to wake me up for school, poor her, she had to tolerate my antics.

My many thanks to Annie and Michelle who brought back goodies for me from Sabah.
Michelle's mum bakes one of the most delicious moist chocolate cakes i have ever eaten.
Annie brought me assorted Raya cookies! They were so nice, thanks thanks thanks.
And yeah Michelle gave me a knitted thing that looked liked a scarf with my name knitted on it. It's so cool, i love personalised items.

Yeah, yesterday was awesome. Kimi wrote me a letter. It was so sweet. hehhee~ I read it over and over again...

It's always a great feeling when u realise that friends actually give a thought about u, like what they say, its the thought that counts!
