My first trip to Lagoon!

I think most people might not believe this but today was the first time I actually went to Sunway Lagoon Dry and Wet Park after living in Subang for 6 years. My dance 'kaki' had 2 free tickets to spare so she, me and another dance 'kaki' all went to have a day of fun courtesy of her boss.

The first thing we saw was the 'hooking the floating ducks' stall. The big prize was all those giant soft toys attracting everyone's attention. We wanted to try but finally found out that it wasn't that easy cos we had to hook the duck with a no. 1 written under it...which naturally you can't see. And to add to that, out of all the many ducks there, there is only one no. 1 duck. So what are the chances? You calculate yourself. No prizes for the right answer!

We saw the cage with a few tigers lazing around and they looked quite cute and cuddly...when they are in this docile mood of course. We explored further into the limestone exhibition site where they highlighted an expansive collection of limestones.
They even had a corner where the head of a dinosaur comes roaring out among some wooden carvings. Very artistic!



Later we decided to walk across the long hanging bridge...and boy was it long. No mean feat so grandmas and grandpas, make sure you have the heart and energy for it. We could get a great overview of the park there and it's amazing to see how the waterpark was designed and built up.
















We walked on towards the wet park but each of us didn't bring any change of clothings, so we avoided getting wet. We caught a quick lunch there and finally went to see the speedboat ride at the Extreme Park. The main attraction was a cute guy who looked abit like our dance instructor...but our conclusion at the end of the day was that he was probably gay cos he hung around with 3 other guys who looked liked they were too....or maybe it was just "sour grapes"? Haha...

We finally went to explore the dry and not so dry park. I was game to try the rides but there were a long queue for most of the rides and my other two friends were not very "young at heart"...to put it more politically correctly, they didn't want to join in any rides at all but instead just wanted to sit down somewhere and chat. So I went at it alone and just went on any ride I could.

Finally we went to the souvenir shops and koi pond on our way out. It was an uneventful day but nevertheless fun...at least for me. Now I can finally say I've been to Sunway Lagoon!!

Take the Lead...never follow

Can Antonio Banderas dance? I have seen "Shall We Dance" and Richard Gere can definitely sway. But I have yet to see Antonio Banderas, the actor who is famous for his macho, he-man roles, dance. Hmm...maybe he did in Evita, I forget. So this I gotta see. Listening to all my dance 'kaki' rave about the movie and how it made them want to get up and dance along in the cinema, sure whetted my appetite. But then, even if they didn't say anything, I would have not missed it. Based on a true story of how a dance teacher wanted to teach a bunch of street kids that nobody thought they had any future, how to dance. Oh, these kids can dance but ballroom dancing? And in the end, he didn't just teach them about ballroom dancing, but about life. To teach them to believe in themselves. That if they want to achieve something, they had to work at it and not blame your circumstances for pulling you down. To teach the guys how to treat a lady with respect cos beating ...

RM 1 Million Dollar Wedding (Part II)...Go ahead, throw the first stone!

Just saw another article on the 'infamous couple' this morning and was feeling a little outraged. Transsexual drama queen?? Sinful couple?? Who gave these people the right to condemn them? Who do they think they are? God? My anger is not because he is my friend, but the at the judgemental attitude of society. Too often we are ready to accuse others unjustly of wrongdoing. We fail to see that we, ourselves, are guilty of sins. Judging is necessary in life, but it must be done fairly. Even as we judge, so we shall be judged (Matthew 7: 2). Sometimes, our motives for judging are for improper purposes. Putting someone down makes us feel superior but it is actually a manifestation of pride. When we enjoy besmirching another, we become "stone throwers" and we lose grace. If you look in the Bible at passage (John 8:1-11) , Jesus didn't condemn sinners but extended outrageous grace. The scene is the temple courts where Jesus was teaching. The Pharisees, unable to g...

RM 1 Million Wedding (Part I)

A recent article came out in The Star tabloid regarding a couple who spent about RM 1 million ringgit on their wedding. Now this was no ordinary wedding...the bride happens to be a man who underwent three major surgeries in order to be a woman and the groom happens to be.................... my ex-schoolmate! For the full article, just click here Imagine my shock when I saw the photo and article. Hmmm...didn't know he had it in him to love someone so much, he proposed six times to her(him?). I used to see him in school back in Form 6. He even dated my classmates before...ahem, they happened to be females. He's quite a good looking guy and though I've lost touch with him now, he used to join my class when we went out for group outings. He's actually a quiet guy and also quite active in sports, but I didn't really knew him very well. I can still remember the time he came to persuade me from quitting as a librarian. What happened was when I started my Lower 6 F...
