Birthdays Recap Part 1 - BoyFriend



Celebrated his birthday in JB.

Place of accomodation: Mutiara Hotel, JB

Places we visted: Danga Bay, Danga City Mall, Holiday Plaza

Memorable moment(s):

Firstly...Simba the tiger.



It's the first time in my life that I touched a tiger, and the reason why I wanted to go JB to celebrate his bd.
This tiger can be found in the petting zoo at Danga Bay.

Entrance fee is only $4, very cheap!

The last time i went, Simba was only 1 year old.
Wanted to take a pic with him, but my family din allow me to.
Now he is 2 years old, and huge!
When the time came for photo-taking with the Simba, the trainer was asking who wants to go first.
Benny volunteered, and then we were urshered to the front.
We bickered a bit over him wanting to go first..y not let other people go first right in case anything happens,right? ...luckily nothing happened.








Seeing a tiger cub playing in his cage. You can just stretch ur hand in..if you dare.






A another slightly older cub..this one look more bored bcos no toys inside




Seeing such a big arse.



The moment we saw this ostrich, it shited one giant waterfall! We were dumbfounded haha.


Running backwards from scene of the crime

Most shocking moment:

At Danga City Mall...




This mall has no people..So sad that such a thing can happen.
Dun know why because the mall is big and spacious..
One of the reasons my bro mentioned is because it's wholly owned and managed by malays. Not sure if that is true? He cited other mall examples such as Holiday Plaza(managed by chinese) and City Square (managed by Singaporean) which have more crowds.
They should have built a cinema or a ktv place..at least it helps draw the crowds.
But I am hoping it will have more business in the upcoming year! =)

Spore Flyer

Sat - Went on our first ride to the Flyer. Had bought the tickets before Benny's bd and we were supposed to go long ago..but it just dragged on.

Took a cab there from my place bcos we r lazy bones. $20 sayonara..

Ate at Popeye chicken, he thinks its costs too much for too little.

Kept complaining that KFC is better..but I have to agree the chicken really looks miserably tiny and not nice le..

"spring chicken", he calls them.
Hmm. I translated that to the chicken being born and slaughtered in tat very season.


Hmm, the flyer was nothing fantastic.
10 mins into the ride, and the novelty wore off.
After that, we just sat on the seats waiting for it to be over.

Or maybe we weren't that enthuastic abt it considering that we were in the cabin with another 20 people or so...not even the least romantic.

It's an experience, nevertheless.
And I am happy it's with him..even though I keep whining in the queue that I would forever remember going on the Flyer thirsty cos he finished my mineral water.

I don't mind going on it again if they sell me a ticket at $10 and with an empty cabin, yea.

a few short sentences

Keri left an msn msg last nite commenting that I had not updated my blog for sometime.

Yep, no mood..no time..

Alot of blog posts saved as drafts..

I want..i want...

I feel as if I am fighing a war at work, or maybe I am the only one to feel this way.

Sometimes I think I expect too much of myself, and that there should always be a time to stop and relax, smell the roses. It's going to be the end of the year, for goodness sake. And next year, another year older. The older I am, the more money I need. Sigh.

And one thing bugs me and makes me miserable at work.
I want my own space.
I just want a computer of my own, why is that too much to ask?

What do I want from Christmas?

Work-wise - brand new computer. Amen!!!!
