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!!

Death by Suicide

“I’m alive”, thought Veronika. “Everything’s gonna start all over again. I’ll have to stay in here for a while, until they realize that I’m perfectly normal. Then they’ll let me out, and I’ll see the outside world again.” In the second book by Paulo Coelho I have been exploring, “Veronika Decides To Die” talks about a 24 year old Veronika who seems to have everything – youth and beauty, boyfriends and a loving family, a fulfilling job. But something is missing in her life. So, one cold November morning, Veronika decides to die. She takes a handful of sleeping pills, expecting never to wake up again. But she does…in a mental hospital where she is told that she has only days to live. And as she thinks about her situation now that her suicide was unsuccessful, an inner monologue continues on in her head: “Since people always tend to help others-just so that they can feel they are better then they really are-they’ll give me my job back at the library. Since I only take sleeping pil...

Between the Devil and the...Angel?

And finally the final book of the trilogy, “The Devil and Miss Prym” is the most interesting of all. In this novel about temptation is a thought provoking parable of a community devoured by greed, cowardice and fear as it struggles with the choice between good and evil. A stranger arrives at the remote village of Viscos, carrying with him a backpack containing a notebook and eleven gold bars. He comes searching for the answer to a question that torments him. Are human beings, in essence good or evil? In his sophisticated plot, he shows Chantal Prym, a young, simple girl in the village, where he buried his eleven bars of gold. After showing her the gold bars, he shared his plot to proof his theory that the nature of human beings when confronted with temptation, will always fall. He explained to Chantal, “ Everybody in this village is honest, starting with you. I showed you the gold bar, which would give you the necessary financial independence to get out of the village, to trav...

Hyppo Barney Rocks!!

The ActsGames results were finally out after the long awaited two weeks. And the winner goes to....Hyppo Barney!! It was quite unexpected since the team didn't win alot of games, but did they score big time on the merit points! I was just chatting with one of the committee members and she said that most of us were so focused on the games and superpower that they forgot that what happens behind the scenes are just as important. I guess we learnt a lesson from the Hyppo Barneys...Hip Hip Hurray! Hip Hippo Barney! As for the winner of the cheerleading, the Red Hulks walked away as the champion while Pink Panthers came in second with very close marks. Pink Panthers were the Iron Team for being the team who was the strongest...surprise! surprise! I thought we did were around second or third. The best Sportswoman went to Aunty Molly from Mata Kerbau and best Sportsman went to Alex Au Yong from Red Hulks. Way to go! Finally, well done to all the teams out there, and thanks for that gr...
