Sshhhhh. Quiet please. Like the big poster says, 'You're entering the pamper zone.' It's even funnier that the road-crossing figure looks like he's trying his damnedest not to walk too loudly. Where is this zone? It's the shopping district.
Now shoosh, dedicated shoppers at work.
After many days of being headless and restless, I decided to go to the one place I never thought I'd go to. Aquaria KLCC, the biggest aquarium in Malaysia. I've been to Sea World and Marine Land, I've snorkeled a few blue waters and told myself that Aquaria wouldn't surprise me much. Its one of those 'must-have' Malaysian things. We want it, we build it but it never achieves its desired effect (except the gorgeous Twin Towers of course!)
So, like I said, I was restless and wanted to see something different in this city. Paid my RM28 entrance fee (RM38 for non-M'sians) and merrily sauntered in. As great as it was to be underwater and see all these beautiful creatures, it saddened me to see them all in enclosed areas and tanks. I guess this stems from my own need to have space to roam without having to bang my nose on a wall at every turn.
This shot was taken inside the 90-metre tunnel. It was beautiful to see turtles, sharks, stingrays and schools of fish swimming above my head. I came out of the tunnel and went back in for another 90-metres.
Tomorrow, Nemo and I don't mean Captain. Didn't see him anywhere.
As promised, Nemo or Ocellaris Clownfish as the marine biologist-types would say. And just like that well-loved animated feature film, there are 2 of them here too. I watched them swim for so many minutes before I pressed my lens against the tank.
I wanted to post this yesterday but like most other days, my broadband connection was nowhere near being connected. This is getting to be a nightmare problem for me. When I last made a complaint, I was told to change my phone cables because there were old and interfered with the connection. I did that over 2 months ago and did that make a difference? Of course it didn't. The cables that run along my street are as old as I am. Have I mentioned that to them? Yes I did. Did they do anything? I was told there weren't enough people complaining to warrant any changes. Thank you Telekom Malaysia. I'm really angry with the people in my city. I love KL. The irony of it all.
Karen, I'm okay. See you next week.
When I'm restless, I say yes to tagging along to anywhere and this time was no different. Candice and Shen wanted to get their hair done as well as a pedicure. Really folks, I had not much to do and once when I had hair, I spent hours in a salon myself so I completely understand the hours it takes to get the 'do just right. I like this place they frequent. The young hairstylists are kinda cute. Great eyecandy for me. I hope they didn't catch me grinning.

A lady selling peacock feathers. When I was a wee lad, I loved watching the Miss Universe and Miss World pageants on telly. My favourite part was always the parade of national costumes, most of all the costumes of the South American contestants. Their costumes were always so dramatic and exuberant. I remember one Miss Brazil who had a huge collar of peacock feathers. When I saw this lady with her plumage, I was instantly reminded of that costume. It also brought back the memory of the first time I ever saw a peacock.
I have since stopped watching these pageants and haven't seen another peacock. Pity.
Was taking a ride in the backseat for once, not in the driver's seat. Gave me the opportunity of gazing out the window and not worry about maneuvering through traffic. However, this window sticker was the most fascinating thing I saw. It says, 'remove label and discard.' Didn't ask my friend where it came from but I was mighty glad she didn't adhere to the instruction.
Sally, thanks for the gorgeous peacock.
