For a dear friend

Eve's birthday just passed, and since I was (still am) busy at work, I managed to wrangle a free day out of my superior and got her to visit Aquaria KLCC. Thought it'd be nice for her to go see all the (water)fish since she occasionally becomes one herself :D Actually it's cuz she hasn't been there before and I really wanted to get her to enjoy her day after all the problems she had (and probably still has but less) back in our days in IMU.
Seriously, I just hope you did enjoy yourself there Eve. Happy belated birthday!

Well, Kah Heng and Cheok Soon came along in the end - I did tell her she could invite anyone along so she told Void and he somehow got his Ipoh trip postponed and tagged along. Cheok Soon, almost perenially free, decided to tag along since he was...well...free...
Pics I/we have but with my lousy skills most of my pics came out blur. Head over to Void's blog
for more pics.
We saw so many things:



Top to bottom :

• Arapaima gigas - the largest freshwater fish in the world
• a beautiful golden arowana
• Kah Heng pretending to be afraid of the fish...looks like he was more afraid of Eve(not in the pic)
• the fugliest cap ever...wonder what Vanessa would look like wearing it...

Unfortunately those were the only pics that turned out well but we actually saw lots of other stuff too. Gargantuan turtles the size of huge boulders, the mostest humongousest catfish ever, manta rays, reef sharks, nurse sharks, giant groupers, chambered nautilus(es?), one of them ikan tanglung, horseshoe crabs, slipper crabs, hawksbill turtles were among the stuff we saw.

We even hung around for the feeding time, when 2 divers in scuba gear descended into the huge tank and fed the fish. The nurse sharks are sooooo tame, they almost seemed dog-like. So was the hawksbill. Most fish scattered when the reef sharks appeared though, we didn't see them eating anything.

We ended up in Chili's after that, with a bottomless drink each and a dish of bottomless chips. Lol, great snack that was....
