Cheeky & PacmanNot one day is the same

I’m finally getting around to being able to blog more often. Thank goodness for proper internet connections and life-saving DVDs! *lol*

Looking back, I really miss being home in Malaysia. This trip around, it was mainly just spending time with family. We didn’t go anywhere but to Parkroyal for a weekend getaway, the Bird Park and the Butterfly Farm. I really mean just family because for most of the time, I actually forgot to contact friends! I don’t think some of them were pleased but you know what, I miss family more so, I hope they understand.

Some good friends came to visit me and I even managed to sneak in a lunch date with an ex-KDU mate with Arianna. Mindy brought Naomi along which was great. It was nice seeing how they reacted with each other. Fun!

We took a short trip into the Butterfly Farm while we were at Parkroyal. It was our second stay there and I must say that it was better this time around.

Here we are at the entrance. Note the welcoming note “Save our butterflies’ and keep that in mind.

Here are some shot of the butterflies around. There were so many but because they were fluttering most of the time, it was tough getting shots!

Check out the camouflage!

Of course, me being the sucker for being on hands with animals and all, I couldn’t resist the animal show coz I knew that they would allow the audience to touch the animals.

The stick insect, so fragile looking that I was afraid of dropping it.

I think that this is called the Scorpion stick insect coz it was spiky and looks like a scorpion too.

I found this a little bit ticklish and though most would squirm at the sight, I found it interesting. :) I was glad it didn’t *fart* at me!

I would never, ever touch a house cicak but this I didn’t mind.

The following shot is funny. Keep in mind the welcome note you read earlier…

This was to be a shot of a really gorgeous butterfly but before I could snap it, *someone* decided to poke it! Hence, the pink blob to show where it was suppose to be. How to save the butterflies la? *lol*

I guess we couldn’t resist just another shot of her in action. But this time, it was intentional. :)

Apparently quite interested in the fish!

I didn’t expect the place to be that huge but trust me, it seemed as if we were stuck in there! It seemed to go on and on and on. One route lead to another exihibit and there was just no way out. Scary up to a certain point. I got sick of the butterflies at one point.

Too much of a good thing is always not good. Towards the end, Arianna got bored too. I’m just glad that we decided to go earlier in the morning coz by the time we left, it was stinking hot and terribly humid. Needless to say, we packed back food for lunch. I had my standard nasi kandar and Ted had his roti canai. :) Cheap and yummilicious!!!
