Naughty Monkey X Heavy Rain: Nature Outing in Vain

it wasn’t exactly a great day

but who cares

it’s a day off

in the middle of the week

 

first stop

thought we wanna go to the Butterfly Park

drove all the way

almost reaching the highway

out from Melaka

to find that the park is no longer there

replaced by a resort & spa

flooded by tourist buses

the major attractions in Ayer Keroh Area

 

2nd stop

to the Zoo

to find that it was not opened yet

due to the celebration of Hari Raya Haji today

it would only be opened to public at 12 noon

 

so off we went to the

botanical park opposite

there’s nothing very botanic about the park

no rare plants

no rare insects

occasionally joggers

one or two groups of students

and that’s all

the shady rainforest canopythree roads diverged in the woodmy companions of the dayespecially rubbish...

 

before this place is known as Botanical Garden

it’s known as Recreational Forest

(Hutan Rekreasi)

remembered these dinosaurs and animals statutes

from the younger days

more than 10 years back

aha.. they are still around

rawr...Dino ParkMammothit's actually not bad at alltwo reptiles

 

while I was happily taking photos

in the dinosaur park

a apparently unfriendly monkey

was walking towards us

so we just ran

saw a group of them were

surrounding a family nearby too

even the cats were running away

from the violent monkeys

 

guess they don’t have much to eat here

we didn’t feed the monkey

they were coming after us instead

Do Not Feed Monkeys

 

hanging around

at the pretty cemented

but safer spot instead

quite artificial siteshe enjoys posting

 

almost 12

heading to the zoo

wow crowded

mostly family with young children

crowd outside Melaka Zoothe siblings are staring

 

as you can see

some people are already equipped with umbrella

those who chose not to enter

you guys have made the right choice

already drizzlingQ for tickets

 

the animals that we first saw

then it started to rain

A&W again

had it last Wednesday at Bt. Bintang too

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

 

I guessed we were hanging around

waiting for the rain to stop

for almost an hour

but there’s no sign of the rain stopping

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA         it's a damn cold day, tried to figure this life...

 

sorry for disappointing you, Baby

first visit to zoo

turned out to be quite bad

the significant animals

like elephants and tigers

we have seen none

hope to pay a second visit real soon

sorry for the disappointment

 

so we gave up

left the zoo at two something

what do you expect

the animals wouldn’t come out

and happily greet you

under the rain

most probably they will

take their own sweet time

hibernating at their warm hideouts

still raining..

 

so we ended in shopping mall again

shot of the day

the camwhore rookie who is doing a good job

 

was trying to look for

Barbie X LBD: Back to Basics

to my disappointment…

Barbie X Toystory 3Barbie in ghastly looking legging

 

now you know why

I like the sun so much…

 

reminded me of how it

rained whole day

while I was at Mongkok

no Sneakers street

no Women street
