ZJ and I finally made it to the aquarium on Friday, when we actually planned to go last Saturday!
Wouldn't be interested in the aquarium if not for the fact that I went diving. Before that I used to be extremely disdainful of fishes. 游来游去的鱼而已嘛。 No interaction no nothing! I'd much rather have a dog.
Well, perspectives change. =D
I like the oceanarium best! (Duh)
Even if it wasn't as exciting as diving, it allowed me to go up close to various fishes that I'd fin away from if I ever saw them underwater. (I'm still scared!)
We touched a baby Port Jackson Shark. Doesn't it just look cute?
Here's a shark egg! If the lady didn't tell us that I'd just think it's some random coral.
And here are some pics I really like.
Water Dragon
Some bird It's the butt you're looking at. Aren't you amazed at it's one-legged stand?
Cute one! I think this one's a porcupine fish.
Mudskippers! I've become rather good at detecting mudskippers from my 2 consecutive Sungei Buloh trips. Teehee but these are so small!
ZJ vs croc
Turtle This one was in a tank with a baby croc! I just lurve turtles, tortoises and terrapins. Don't ask me why. I nearly cried once while watching a documentary on the very endangered Leatherbacks.
The above-mentioned baby croc The shrimp was still alive! Watching animals being eaten alive still makes me squirm. EEeewww... The first time was when I watched my cousin's snake swallow a desperately struggling house lizard. The huge bump in its neck after the swallow was what disturbed me the most!
Scary
I'm posting this even thought the video quality sucks, cos I really like the fish. Can anybody tell me what it is? (footnote: It's a semicircular angelfish!)
I could go on and on and on, but, well it's boring to look at still pictures of fishes behind a glass. ZJ has a really good video of that baby croc chomping and swallowing the shrimp. Bug her to post it! Her blog is growing mould.
Anyway, all my pictures that look reasonably ok are in a an album you guys can find on the sidebar. Unfortunately, many of them turned out like this: Strong Winds Well, I cannot hiam too much, considering I'm only using my phone camera. *cry*
Finally... Don't ask me why we found cowboy hats in the souvenir shop of the aquarium.
I wish I bought a boomerang! But even if I did, where can I play with it?
