Hello :D I'm finally here again :D with the
geyest title imaginable ._.
Anyway yesterday we (meaning me, and my paternal side of the family plus some more family) went to Desaru (in Malaysia ._.)! I think it's spelt
Desaru but actually I'm quite ambiguous about the spelling ._.
So, woke at around six (it's quite ungodly D: middle of the holidays leh) and packed/set off for Jurong East interchange o.o where we met several members of our family! Then the coach came :D and all of us piled on it :O and then erm. The coach made its way to the... checkpoint (?) at Tuas.
-cue checkpointy stuff, like passports-
I used my left thumb instead of my right, because my right thumb is scarred horribly thanks to eczema D: (when I renewed my passport some time ago the man said that if I used my right thumb there would be lots of "trouble" :O)
After that we piled onto the coach again and went to the Malaysian checkpoint! Where the same thing happened (i.e. passports) :D We sort of met our nice tour guide then -nod- who was a
one-hit wonder with most of my family o.o (apparently his nickname is yan dao .___.)! And he crack jokes beyond my comprehension in hokkien (?! I really don't know D:). Overall he's a good tour guide lar -.- so! Went to some shopping mall and bought stuff/had brunch/walked around :D My parents bought charcoal bamboo (or bamboo charcoal) bread (ha! Really! It's black, which is cool :O but it tastes just quite like the common -insert your choice of bread- you buy at NTUC. Only we bought the
charcoal bamboo bread at
Lavender ._.) and random drinks :O plus a deck of
Monopoly Deal (costs $10, around 20
ringgit :D).
...
That's it :D?
After the shopping we went for lunch (the trip took damn long D: like an hour ._.) at some seafood place :) the food was not bad :O (lobster! But I ate rather little in a bid to cut down on unnecessary calories for some reason D:)
Oh erm then we went to an OSTRICH FARM! I liked the ostriches (gigantic eyes, superlong lashes, intelligent expressions... what's not to like? Except the females plucking out their feathers to signify some sort of beauty that is.)! And there was a poor monkey in a cage ): And some of the ostriches randomly walked around and we could feed them corn :D (the pecking is a weird feeling ._.)! But unfortunately these ostriches are made into satays, hamburgers, etc. so... well, I didn't eat them D:
(sidenote: I find my writing style detached.)
Yes a bit disgusting right D:! It just seems cruel to me... (and I know it's a bit hypocritical I eat other meat. Hmm. I am cutting down though :O)
(sidenote: WHAT is with my use of ...s? Annoyed. By myself.)
Oh and the tour guide managed to get an ostrich egg (for omelette). Which is gigantic hor.
Anyway after that we went to a fruit farm :D it was very educational etc. but frankly the natural and organic fertilisers distracted me somewhat. My brother wisely/stupidly did not come; wisely because of the long walks/the smell, stupidly because AT THE END THERE WAS A FREAKING ZOO! Which had like, goats? and monkeys? and various reptiles like alligators/turtles? and like, WABBITZ bunnies :D! I like rodents :D oh and there were random chickens walking around too ._. plus another random ostrich in the middle of nowhere ._. hahahaha :D!
-VIBEY NATURE-
I LOVED THE RABBITS! One of the white ones had an injured ear (apparently because the monkey liked to pull it LOL :O)! There was a grey, quiet one which was the picture of innocence :D petting rabbits is so much fun!
-acts like toddler!-
I am excessively using exclaimation marks!
Ah anyway. After the fruit farm we headed for dinner :D at a restaurant :D then we set off in a boat and in lifejackets across a large body of water (I'm not sure if it was a river. I think it was.) to watch fireflies! The fireflies we saw were mostly in the trees, so that the trees were alight in glow :D! Pretty cool~ Although the experience was marred by the unidentified floating objects in the water O.O I dozed off though :/
At the end of the boat trip we set off for home!
-pause-
That's about all, bye :D!
