am back... as a firefly
so my KL holiday is over....
the last three days of my trip to KL was well... sort of 50-50... as usual my baby sleeps during the day so he didn't bring me out "sight-seeing" and "window-shopping" cause by the time he fetched me to go out, shops were nearly closing and all we could do is eat and (if lucky) catch a movie.
saw Star Wars again.. heheheh..... *grin*
managed to check out The Curve at Damansara and The Oval (new phase of 1-Utama). didn't stay long as we didn't get there early... the malls were nice, new and had loads and loads of shops....
my baby brought me to eat at Chillies...!!! (the one at KLCC) and boy!!! i'm so glad that ah ma recommended me to go try the food there... i had BBQ beef and chicken... gosh!! i was soo speechless after that!!! we also had Ceaser Salad.. that was a yummers, we also tried their chilly, it's like a spagetthi sauce with beef but instead of being tomato-ey it was spicey! mmmm.... and they had drinks called "bottomless"... it was free flowing!! i can't remember but my baby said i had 3 full cups of pineapple juice!!! hahhaha.. and for desert, we had the monster chocolate thingy (choc cake, moouse, ice-cream and caramel) and by the time we finished, we were sooo bloated and full!!!! me wanna go there and try their other dishes.... yum yum... looks like Chillies has a new fan!!!
the firefly trip with SEFA members was a blast!!! it all started by meeting with everyone at Menara STAR, then in 4 cars, we went to Kuala Selangor. since it was still early and after a few wrong turns we managed to find Taman Melawati at Kuala Selangor...
Taman Melawati, it's a small bukit where one has to sit on a so-called train that uses the engine of a lorry and makeshift open-air train coaches. it was fun going up the hill on that and at the top, u could see the view of the sea, there was a light house and LOADS of monkeys!!!! yes monkeys!!! these monkeys in Kuala Selangor is sooo huge!!! bigger than the ones in penang.. hahaha.. and they were black!!! so we fed the monkeys and hung around them for a while and took pics. then the train came again to pick us up and went down the hill.... it was an interesting ride... we were all crazy!! hahah...
then we adjurned to eat seafood... these seafood restaurants are like the ones here at Tambun/Batu Kawan.. it's been built overlooking the river.. we were there just in time for the sunset.. it was beautiful... we had two types of fish, two types of squid and veg... by the time we left, it was about 8pm and went to see the fireflies...
the firefly centre, the way it was built was to attract tourists... it had nice parking lots, nicely done wooden reception area and a jetty where u got to wear life jackets and get on a sampan to go see the fireflies... only 3 to 4 persons are allowed in one sampan. the guy rowing the sampan was explaining about the fireflies and brought us near the trees where the fireflies were.. it was BEAUTIFUL!!! it looked like so many christmas trees in a row!!!
facts (i could remember) of fireflies

facts (i could remember) of fireflies
- bright lights are males, dim lights are females
- lives for 3 months
- lay 8 to 10 eggs only (that's why it's a protected species)
- only in 2 places in the world - Kuala Selangor, Malaysia and the Amazon Jungles
- all they do is eat, sleep and mate (i know u males would like to have that life!!)
it was a full moon so we couldn't see much of the fireflies... it's best to go when there is no moonlight. the boat ride was about 15 to 20 minutes, it was short but very memorable. the boat man took some flies and put in on our hands and it looked like our hands were glowing...
what's funny after the trip was that the journey back to Menara STAR was a different route, we got lost and somehow ended up at Kapar (where? i dunno.. Klang or something) and managed to get on the highway and headed back to KL...
the SEFA members who came was a crazy and fun bunch. i thought i'd feel left out but i was so wrong! no regrets!!! hehehhe
