Melbourne Zoo

Since transportation is pretty expensive in Melbourne, I decided to take out the map and walk to the Melbourne Zoo. It took me about 40-50mins to reach. Alternatively, we could get a tram from the city centre.

Well, it was really a long walk.



Pennies

PressedPennies as souvenirs


What would an Australian Zoo be if there aren't any native australian animals?

Meerkat

Red Panda

Full grown Australian Penguins. I wonder if it's taken from the Philips Island.

Seal


A close up picture of a kangaroo wallaby
I just got to remember the characteristic of kangaroo's cousin that it stands the highest 4ft tall, which means, a wallaby is always shorter than me (and cuter) :P
and the kangaroo can stand as tall as 9ft

Fun in the Park under the hot sun for lunch


As I was strolling around the zoo premises, I heard loud roars. I was wondering what would it be, and there, I found the roaring lion!


Emu?

Lazy, sleepy Koala

They have many friendly giraffes too

random flowers

so pretty

Earlier just before lunch, I see a really long queue and I didn't know what it was. Thus, I kept walking towards the queue and there it was.. Meet the Mali session.
Kids are crazy over a baby elephant. Then again, i think there are many baby elephants in Thailand.
The queue kills enough .
Then I walked over to the Butterfly Farm. But would butterflies survive in Autumn?
As I walked into the farm, suddenly i FELT warm tropical temperature. *perspire*
I would say the farm would look almost replica as the one in Penang, except that there are more visitors here.

college kids making fun of the butterfly. poor butterfly.

Stucked on a kid's sleeve

"Can I take a picture of you?" , I asked.
"Sure", he said.


She went like, "Oh no.. it's on my hand!!!"

Say "Cheese"


Kids.. another one, stand around the elephant.


Capuchin? Gibbon *winks* thanks for the correction
Now I get confused with all the monkey animals. This should be a babboon mandrill. Now I know how to differentiate it. It has blue nose! And, the babboons have really red asses.

What's the Difference between 'Net' and "Nett"

Since it's part of my group's job to publish daily billings report to the management, our Director (from US) pinpointed that we should fix the spelling of 'nett billings' to 'net billings'. My colleauge was looking at google, trying to understand the 'right' spelling to be used. I finally checked it from Wikipedia , and found that 'nett' is BRITISH and 'net' is AMERICAN. No wonder he's offended to fix it to 'net'! C'mon. I'm in an american MNC, I should be more sensitive towards this.

An afternoon at Dannok

Living at the northern side of Malaysia makes it really convenient and easy to go 'overseas'. For us, going to our neighboring country, be it Thailand or Singapore by land or by flight is really easy. I'm always a fan of Thai food, and with the remaining Thai bahts that I had since my last Bangkok trip (which I didn't finish even crossing the border a couple or times), I decided to go Dannok for FOOD again. So, it's a day trip or rather, half day tour to Dannok For the past few weeks, I was searching for insta / blog /facebook posts if there is any other new hangouts in Dannok, but sadly, I couldn't find many bloggers who write about it. The funny part is, I already blogged about it two years ago. The immigration complex in Malaysia is new. I nearly couldn't recognize it, while passing to get our passport checked. As I didn't want to drive over, we parked our car at the Zon Duty Free. As I entered, I took the wrong ticket (which parking rate is RM3...
