Xiang Ning goes on a Zoo Trip!

*The author wishes to express that this post is the result of non-stop pestering and persuasion by a close friend of the author's. Under normal circumstances, the author wouldn't be bothered to come up with this post as the sheer amount of work is unbelievable. The author would hereby express great appreciation and gratitude it if feedback is given. YES I MEAN COMMENTS*

The last time I went to a zoo, I was still fat short. Now, years later and a lot more taller and good-looking, I paid another visit to the zoo. The NATIONAL zoo, mind you. The FIRST zoo in Malaysia to gain an ISO 9001:2000 recognition, whatever the Hell that is*.

*The author would like to state that he actually knows what ISO9001:2000 is, but for the sake of introducing more impact in his literature, pretends that he doesn't.

So, what was supposed to be five ended up being only three. Armed(with our cameras) and ready for the zoo.

There is, of course, Yours Truly

And Sobri

There's not going to be much content in this post. The bulk of it are going to be in the pictures, so just sit back, wait for the pictures to load and enjoy. And by the way, I REALLY LIKE MY ELEPHANT PICTURE SET.

Random pictures of random animals

Program Pembiakan Daging Arnab Satay Kajang

Seriously, don't expect me to come up with witty quotes for each and every pictures. =S

The lions were probably the lousiest animal in the zoo. All they did was well, that.

The flamingos look like they're listening to some Ceramah conducted by DZAI.

Saw a trio of Chinese nationals with their sophisticated video recording rig. And guess what they were recording?

This.

Bearded Pork (Khinzir Bermisai)

They recently opened an aquarium in the zoo, in it all the types of animals found in the rivers and seas of Malaysia.

Caught in the act: Dinner time

Behold the BIGGEST-ass Patin I've EVAR seen. Mind you, a normal-sized Patin already costs a bomb in any Chinese restaurant. This one?

Here's my favourite set. My elephant set. Look at the texture on the elephant's skin. *drools*

I like this.

Then there was this Multianimal show. A total of TWO animals were, er, showed before the rain ruined everything.

A parrot hopping through the rings. Oh Wow.
Their next 'trick' coincidentally involved some form of 'donation'. Turns out that their star cockatoo only responds to money. Yep, almost immediately the nickname "Money-faced" comes into mind. And since I cant remember its name, it shalt be called Moneyface.
One had to hold out money, Moneyface would then fly TOWARDS the money, snatch it from your arm and fly right back to its bank, its trainer.

So yeah, this picture cost me RM1 to photograph. Fucking Moneyface wouldnt even pose for me.

Ending note: Just in case you were wondering, most of the pictures were taken with what Joanna calls the 'filmic' lens, the 50mm f/1.8 MkII, which is Canon's cheapest and lightest lens, but in no way the lousiest.
