Field Trip to Malaysia!

Went to Malaysia with my family and relatives for the whole day yesterday... it was great fun :)

Dunno exactly where i went to, but it's around Johor Bahru. Morning wasnt very fun, having horrible nasi lemak at some dirty hawker. We den went to a biscuit shop which din have the doube chocolate cookies i hope it would have. and the almond biscuit is yucky as compared to what my mum bought form sheng siong the other day. we went to giant after breakfast, and i bought 2 maybellin lipsticks for SG$14! i thought i saved a lot of money, until my mum told me the same offer is available at Watsons wth. :/

We had seafood for lunch! Crab, fish, lobsters................ unfortunately, i looked forward to the butter lobsters but this restaurant's butter lobsters kinda sucked. there wasnt any buttery taste. I miss the lobsters i had in another restaurant!! sobs. ok nvm, get to eat lobsters very good already. After lunch we went to a fruit farm, temple, and again some kinda Taoist/Buddhist worshipping place.. the Bodhi Tree i think. My hair reeked of the smell of incense later. but it's ok la, i still went down to see. I also bought PoP pOp for my cousins to paly with.. and for steven and his bro. u noe Pop pop? the little ball of crackers than most kids play with during Chinese New Year... u throw it on the ground and it goes POP! ok nvm im kinda bad at describing.

We also went to an ostrich farm, where they bred, eh, ostriches la. chickens too. and a monkey. that gripped on to me so frantically it left a small red bruise on my arm. :/ well i din know it was on a tree, and i stood under the tree where the ostriches were to take a pic. Suddenly this crazy small thing leaped on to me and was like biting and trying to climb on me. The first thing that struck me was that my little cousin LiHui had gone mad, until i realise it was brown and furry. lol.. den i shrieked. :x thank goodness it was actually chained (just that the chain was long enough such that it had some freedom) and i could run away from it... hahaha...

I hate ostriches. ok, not hate, but i think they're disgusting. It's all birds actually. except for penguins. the way they flap their wings especially... i can just imagine all the bacteria that has been trapped under theitr dirty "armpits" flying into my mouth, into my nostrils, onto my hair................... eeeeeks. their beaks are also irksome cos they are so sharp. i cringe at the thought of being "poked" by them... ow! they're simply not cute la. :/

my mum forced me to stand beside this huge male ostrich to take a pic.. i was like NOooOOoooo... how to say yes when i witness it peck at my grandma's ears and spitting out her earring????? i'd cry if it tug at my hair and yank them out man.. :/ but well like i said, i was FORCED to, so u can see that i had no choice.

oooh anyway i learnt how to differentiate between the male and female ostriches. first of all, male ostriches have a darker body colour as compared to its female counterparts. but the easiest way to tell if one is a male or female ostrich is by looking at its ass! the female ostrich's ass is mostly bald... its damn ugly. well all thanks to the horny male ostrich lor. i dun think the tourguide was joking about that part. lol.

the ostrich souvenir shop was rather gross too. i made an exit after seeing packets of ostrich ligaments, tendron or wtv, and its meat. i was like NnoooOOooo (again. i told you i hate birds.) when the uncle offered me a sample of OSTRICH ESSENCE. hell, i just saw the LIVE ones, and now you expect me to drink its essence? puipuipui~

along the trip, i also witnessed many caged up monkeys... so poor thing. and it seems that everyone in that village has an ostrich for a pet or something. on the bus, i also saw this poor wild boar being hunted.. so cute lor why they hunt it.. : ( i wanna go halal.....

we had dinner at some chinese restaurant.. luckily they dun serve ostrich meat. was so hungry i gobbled down 2 bowls of rice... yumyum..

the last activity was a boat ride out to look at fireflies! the downsides were that
1) it was nighttime so the big lake looked really creepy as it was surrounded by forests
2) the lake was deep
3) i once watched lake placcid and the water was so murky it resembled that of lake placcid's
4) i dunno how to swim
5) im scared that a crocodile will pop out of the water and bite me
6) i was sitting at the corner
7) i hate insects.

ok so im not a geography student. :/ but i agree that the fireflies were beautiful! or rather, the light at their backsides. there were so many of them on the trees, they were like twinkling lights on a xmas tree... luckily they din fly into my face.

ahhh gtg for dinner... field trips are fun :))) bye!

love,
