Of fishes and cemetaries

Well in the afternoon I went to the Aquaria thing at the KL convention center. Being the kiasu person that we were, we parked at the rm 1 parking area and walked all the way to the convention center under the extremely hot sun. After reaching the Aquaria thing.. well, the car park leading to it to be exact..we were faced by a queue longer than a sea dragon. We actually thought the aquaria thing was at the end of the car park but nooooo, it was still a long way in. The staff told us that the wait for 2 hours. 2 freaking hours !! So we were like standing there and looking at each other. To wait or not to wait..then i guess our kiasuism got the better of us..since the price will go up after Hari Merdeka, so we just waited la. Aiyo, the car park was sooo hot la

So we queued, and queued, and queued some more... After 1.5 hours we finally got in. It was quite nice after all, only the crowd was a big turn off. Every single display had people cramming up in front of it. The tunnel was nice, its cool to see the sting rays swimming up above, they are the birds of the ocean because of the way they swim, kinda like flapping wings. Then there were the displays , the touch screens and this documentary thing. The fish look rather friendly, those in the large pools. I think the staff had their hands full as the kids were poking fingers everywhere and people were flashing cameras at the fishes every few seconds.

After about 45 minutes of going around the place, we went to the sovenier shop. Was tempted to buy a few things there but refrained due to the fact that I was broke.


Anyway that night on the way back from dinner, we went to collect our new digicam, yay ! The shop closes at 9.30 so we were kinda anxious to reach there before it closes.. We were soo close, just 10 minutes more...then suddenly my uncle called and said his car was stalled. So we had to go over to give some assistence... Of all places his car stalled next to the cemetary. So my sisters and I were like sitting in the car and waiting for my dad to diagnose the problem, but seems they had no clue. My uncle didnt apply for AAM either ! My sis was praying for God to send his angels to help. Haha, she was probably hoping we can reach the shop on time to get the digicam. Just kidding la girl.... But then suddenly i noticed that someone was behind our car, who is that? That person asked my mum, are u xxxxx's (one of the people we had dinner with ) friend? My mum was like yes... then he said.. I'm a repairman. I heard your car broke down, I'm here to see what is the problem. We were all like huh? My mum didnt tell any of her friends that my uncles car broke down.

Later on my mum realised she heard the wrong name... actually another car broke down a few hundred meters ahead of us, but hey, the repairman manage to figure out the problem, the riadiotor was leaking. So my dad sent us to get the cam, while he went back to get some water for my uncles radiator. ahahaha !

Next to cemetery...I'd have freaked out. Luckily didn't see...anything special. That Aquaria thing was ridiculous. Such a long queue! I was at KLCC and decided to just have a look, 1 and a half hours to the ticket counter...no way man! My friends and I left immediately.

the tunnel in the aquaria was nice...you can walk into it as many time as u want, hehe! but inside the tunnel the air flow doesnt really good....that should use a BIG fan to blow into the entrance and blow out from the exit....
