dead butteflies, loving hornbills and dead iron men

this happened a month or 2 ago..... TC was around and thought we'd go round KL site seeing... we were on a low budget and compromised abit... hehehe... next time, we'll do the real thing :)

we wanted to go to the park, but i didn't feel like walking, so decided to go to the Butterfly farm, well, thought the entrance would be RM10 or something, noooo... it was RM17!!! so we didn't go in (on a budget remember)... so there was some old pics at the lobby and also a gift shop at the entrance... we went in there, camera's not allowed so, didn't really take any pics... the "mummy-fied" butterflies we made into paper weights, key chains, frames... basically u can see the butterflies that would be in the park itself, here at the gift shop - the difference is, they're dead! LOL

then we headed just down the road and round the corner to the Bird Park, the entrance fee too is out of our budget, so we just went to the Hornbill Cafe for a drink. there too, they had a balcony which is practically in the park itself, we managed to see some hornbills and some birds up-close and personal, so, it wasn't that bad that we didn't actually go in...

there was this pair of hornbills where it's obvious they were a couple. the table next to us kept feeding "human" food like chips, fried chicken and stuff to the birds.. what's amazing is that the male hornbill would chew it to smaller pieces and give it to the female hornbill, sweet uh?

it was a relaxing day indeed, not too hot, no rain.. good weather... and since we were in the "area" we took a drive to the planeterium (but it was closed) and there was other sites too, like the Orchid Farm, Hibiscus Farm and god knows what else, good place for a school excursion...

on the other side, there was a park where weird art pieces were placed, this, you can see from the main road... then the Tugu Negara was there too... this thing is HUGE i tell u, and the figures were quite detailed... you can see that the "dead" men that was killed were japanese, they even wore japanese uniform... and you can see that the men for victory were msian!... detailed... detialed.. u gotta be there to see it...

i've always wanted to see this tugu ever since it always came up in the school history books... and finally, i was there... i didn't expect it to be huge! i thought it would be some display that u see in malls or something, but no.... this is quite huge.. see how small i am standing next to it??? this is where u go... wwaaaaa..... O.O

at the end, it was a good day, tiring from moving here and there... and i'm sure there'll still be other places to go in KL....
