fabulouso!
finally went on a trip together! It was a group of 13. hehe.
The desaru trip ytd was great!
Have yet to get all the pictures but we all had pleasant surprises.
Started off the day with rain. Was pretty sad but everything worked out! we headed off for breakfast after reaching Malaysia. Hehe. The dim sum was so-so. But the prata was nice! Muahaha. Thought I was pretty full. But the aroma was simply irresistible.
Then we went for some free sample chocolates. Hehe. FREE was the most attractive point I guess. Since the choc were so overpriced.
But here comes the next part! We went to a fruit farm. But it doesn’t deal with fruits only. They have goats and little goats or sheep roaming around! Omg!we were so intrigued by the sight of it. And I carried a white bah bah sheep! Its so CUTE! I was so fascinated by it. They were so naughty. Nibbling on out umbrella and jumping on us. Gosh. totally adorable!
They have monkeys and rabbits around too! The monkeys were just chained to a stand and left to play around. So cool! There was this table with rabbits chicks duckie and chicken! Haha. They just let them walk around each other. And of course, I got my hands on a BLACK rabbit. Aiya. Cant really see it since it blended into my color.
Think the animals were pretty irritated by us girls. Cause we were screaming at every little movement. Ahaha.
Its so funny to see ostriches,owls,tortoises and all of them together. Laughed out heads off looking at each others’ reactions.
Since it’s a fruit farm, we had our fair share of fruits too. DURIANS! Red dragonfruits. Rambutans. Banana. Blahblahblah…
Next up was the baby lobster lunch! Oh well, it looked and tasted like crayfish. But haha. It was good enough. We had like a 7 course meal. Totally like a Chinese wedding dinner style. Ahah. Where 10 people sit ard a table and start eating. So full after everything. I thought a wedding dinner lunch was enough. Wait till we come to dinner. Ahhaha.
Went ostrich farm next! True to its name, its really a whole farm full of ostriches. They have such LONG necks! Constantly sticking out. and what welcomed us the moment we stepped into the farm was a mating session. Gosh. some fat woman was like yelling, ‘heyhey, come see the ostrich MAKE OUT, MAKING LOVE!’
Kinda turn off huh? Somehow it sounded very crude to me. Haha. Then we had to work our way around so many ostrich heads. Screams again.haha.
Had my opportunity to step on ostrich eggs! Ahha. And I fed them! One of it bit my finger!!!! Luckily they dun have any teeth! and they are vegetarians. Phew. The real ironic thing was they were selling ostrich satay, burgers and tepanyaki right in their faces. Ahahahah.
Shopping up next! Not really worth a mention I guess. Ahhaa.we just spent 1 hour loitering in a omg cmi shopping center and eating local snacks.hahah.
Dinner next! Its like so fast. Like we just had such a full lunch. Alamak. and we had another 8 course meal! Omg. Another wedding dinner, complete with someone’s favourite SHAN ZHU ROU *wild boar meat*. Ahah. Yummy! Prawns,fish,chicken,…. Imagine our tummies. Omost couldn’t take it.
Fireflies was our final and last stop! We took boats and cruised along the river. It really reminds me of the amazon river. Like those ANACONDAS kind of river, and shu HELPed by picturing capsize and all. Ahaha. And our wild imaginationo on crocodiles and creatures. We were in the river zone before the sun set. But with 15mins, the sky dimmed and we went deeper and deeper into the river zone. Kinda creepy initially. But after a while we got used to it. Finally! We saw fireflies! Initially it was just sightings of a few. But as it got darker, we saw groups of them! Pretty sight! Its like natural Christmas lights. For a moment, I thought we were in PETER PAN! Haha. With so many tinkerbells flying around! They just flicker and flicker and some lone fireflies will fly near our boat. A pity we cant capture any of it on film.
Captivating! We ended up sitting on the boat for 45mins.
Bet the mosquitoes had a great feast. All the sitting ducks on the boats with nowhere to run. Ahah.
And we were lucky to get the boat. Ahha. Some really suay people really gt the sampan. Ahhahaha. And when we passed each other, we waved enthusiastically at them. But none of them waved back. Ahha. Their hands were gripping onto the sides of the boat. Ahahahahahhah. Our gloating nature took over for some time out there. Bleh.
Ps. I thought I had my fill of life vest. But the life vest we had to wear were so much worse. neon orange! Omost thought we were brighter than the fireflies. Haha
All of the frenzy activities ened ard 9pm. By the time we went back inito the bus, all of us were dead beat. Terribly long day, considering that we started at 430am.
By the time we reach home in a cab, it was almost 1130pm? Omg. Havenbathe and unpack everything. Work next day seem to be a nightmare. But here I am in the office now.
The morning nearly killed me. But thanks to my stash of chocolates. I got through! Hehe. Looking forward to meeting my girls tonight!
And I am so missing zx. Haha. Since we din get much of a chance to meet in the week and the next week gona be very much worse. Haix. Thanks for being so understanding and giving me morning calls and listening to me grumble. hehe
Shall get all the pics and post them up soon!
