Safari World, Bangkok

Sunday was Safari World day! Actually it was divided into two sections: Safari World, where you sit in your car/van/bus and watch the animals roaming freely outside; and Marine Park, which is like a zoo that also comes with a lot of shows, such as orang utan show, sea lion show, elephant show etc.

Ticket price was about RM 90/THB 900. Including buffet lunch. If I am not mistaken. It was included together with our tour so I don't remember correctly already. Google it folks.

We went to Safari World first in our tour van from day 1. It was quite a nice experience. No need to walk around in the sun. Just sit inside in the air conditioning and can still take plenty of close up shots.

The animals were quite tame. Mostly eating, sitting, standing, sleeping or hiding from the sun. I shit you not. Most of the animals were in the shade! 

Ok, not this fella. Btw, did anyone read Xiaxue's post on the zoo she went to? She managed to snap a photo of the zebra's cock. Is it black or is it white? Is it striped or is it not? Haha it is black!! Read about it here.

Are those zebra stripes brown and white? Are mine eyes deceiving me? You know how people say that if you stay out in the sun too long, your black hair turns brown. Dark brown still lah but still brown. Don't know if its bull or not. But look! The zebra's stripes turned brown! 

Hahah unrelated and yes I am ignorant. Yes, I know there might be brown striped zebras or that there is a perfectly logical/scientific explanation. So, feel free to screw me for my ignorance. Shitty comments are better than no comments. No, I take it back. No comments are better than shitty comments. 

Look at how green that pond is!! Don't they clean it often enough? What's that? Algae or moss? Either one lazy to Google.

Rhinos are dirty and smelly but they are good photo objects. They just stand there eating while I take photo after photo. 

You need a shower yo!

That was how close we are to the rhino. Pretty cool actually. You could just park there and wait watching for as long as you like actually.

Obviously. Wouldn't want to fight to cross the road with the rhino now, would ya?

They separate the lions and tigers from the deer's, rhinos, birds. For obvious reasons.

Wish they didn't though cos it would be more fun to watch the tigers and lions catch their own food. Fun eh? Then we would have a better show to watch. Also the tigers and lions wouldn't grow lazy and depend on the zoo keepers for food right? Right? 

This bear reminded me of Kevin. For some reason. 

Just like how this woman reminded me of Winnie. For some reason. I'm sure Winnie thought so to, cos she insisted on a photo with her. Same pose some more. 

This was at the Marine Park already. Time to go watch the shows. 

Why is mummy so pretty? Prettier than me! $%^&#* 

Orang utan show was not bad. I liked the sea lion show the most. The orang utans were very well trained!! They could really understand their coaches. The shows were in Thai btw. Don't have to understand exactly what they were saying. You kinda get the gist still.

Soo many people at the sea lion show. People were walking around selling drinks, fans, ice creams and even beer!! I was kwai though - only had ice cream and water. /proud.

They even trained the walrus to clap their fins during feeding time! So kwai!

Elephant show was the only show where I felt like the animals were not very well treated. I don't know..just got the feeling that they were poor animals being forced to do those tricks.

The elephants "drew" those pictures. The trainer for the elephant on the left kept guiding the elephant's trunk to pat correctly. The elephant on the right was better though - needed almost no guidance at all. 

Those paintings cost 500 baht each. RM 50. 

We left halfway though out the show though.

Pure white fishes grew very large actually. Actually a lot of the fishes we saw at the zoo were all quite big. Doesn't show in the photo though. 

Obligatory shot of my hippopotamus husband.

So attractive.

After that we went for the buffet lunch that was included in the ticket price. It was SO NOT WORTH IT!!!

But it was included in the ticket price so I shall tone down my complaints.

First up, there were a lot of people in that HUGE dining hall. Everyone was hungry and most of the plates were EMPTY. Those not empty were messy, spilled here and there, and most of all, YUCK.

But then again, its FREE. Sort of.

Sorry for the caps but I had to err..explain.

Don't know if I posted this photo already or not..but I just wanted to end this post with love, and not angst.

OK bye.

Updates x100

So, I don't feel like talking about Bangkok today. I keep wanting to update my blog but always too tired in the end. 

Raya break is over and done with. I spent most of the raya holidays at my parent's house, eating, chilling, drinking. Talking about Taiwan, eating Jello (Winnie has been on a jello making spree - she nailed it. Got the perfect blend of vodka and water already), drinking, and eating some more.

Which is why I have been working out these few days again. Came back from work, cooked dinner, made tomorrow's lunch, changed and went on the treadmill. After an hour, while waiting for my sweat to dry, I put on some music and decided to dance some more. 

Finally showered and came to sit in front of my laptop - trying to collect my thoughts now. Too soon, it is 9:36 pm. Bedtime soon. Where has the time gone??

******

Anyway. Some photos from recent events. Err..not so recent actually. A bit outdated. This was at Rainforest Music Festival, back in July. Before Bangkok. 

Cherrie! Just because she's so clean, fluffy, cute and everyone should awww at this photo! :D

We went for steamboat at my parents place. Daddy's fav way of eating. Not mine.. Got salmon sashimi though, so I am somewhat placated. Heh.

DIY-ed my own hair. Worked out ok! Much better than Liese bubble hair dye! Good choice- in case anyone else is interested. Somehow, I feel like my hair is softer. And colour is good. Photos you ask? Wait I haven't taken any photos yet. Maybe this weekend!

I like white wine. Much more than red. Especially when its sweet. And very affordable. RM 52.50 at Ta Kiong. Didn't buy it. Then, Cs found this bottle at home! Yay so I opened it without further ado. :)

Look at that face! Wanna squeeze the hell out of her! 

Look at her eyes. Its knowing. Like Tyra always says: speak with your eyes. Something like that haha America's Next Top Model? Anyone else watch it?

Got this shirt from Chatuchak market. Hahah Johnnie Walked! Geddit geddit?

For the non drinkers, heard of Johnnie Walker? Black label, blue label, green label? 

This is an um..unflattering photo of Winnie's best jello yet. Its blueberry and she put in seedless grapes in it. Nice!!

 Cs' new obsession is rubbing off on me. Well, not exactly new obsession. Just that I recently joined him in playing this basketball at the arcade. Heh just only realized how fun it is to try to beat the high score!

His record playing alone was about 375. Our record playing together was about 350. I know, I know. I dragged him down! Fook it.

And why do people insist on spelling his name with an A? Does no one else go to school (so mean)? Or read Bookworm (in primary school last time). Its EDISON. Adison is a girl's name. :(

One last artsy fartsy photo before I go. Carlsberg limited edition is good stuff. Soo smooth. Yum.

OK. Short update done. Sorry for the lack of narration but I really gotta go stare at something else other than a computer screen.

My eyes will thank me. 

Bye.

Lady boy show in Bangkok

We went to watch a ladyboy show. Actually the show I wanted was Calypso Ladyboy Show, but our guide arranged this for us. Golden Dome Cabaret Show. I don't know what the difference is, but oh well a show is a show.

There were a lot of tourists there. I'm betting the tours all get commissions to bring tourists here. Ahh oh well I thought the show was not bad. Entertaining to watch the ladyboys. They lip sync to the songs, but its ok. We didn't come to a concert.

They look so hot. Their long, sleek legs, gorgeous faces and pretty costumes. Can't believe they were men.

All wearing skimpy costumes. Very entertaining! Some are really hot...

And some..not so much..

Look at her smile..so sweet! Bet she can cheat all the guys.

This one looks so gorgeous man! I didn't get a proper photo but look, even in a slightly blur photo, she's hot! 

This one..she/he came rushing out and started pulling guys to her tits. One guy got dragged up on stage and she made him kiss her cheek. But at the last second, she turned and he kissed her on the lips. The guy actually turned to wipe off his lips straightaway. Hahha can't blame him really. 

Then, she came down from the stage and started looking for more targets. She was targeting this guy in front of me, but for some (strange) reason, his gf kept protecting him from her tits. Weird. I would let Cs kiss her on the lips. HAHA!

This girl below was one of Winnie's favorites. She's pretty and a really good dancer.

I was mesmerized by this one below on the left. For some reason, I think she looks really natural. She came down the stage and shook Cs' hands, without sparing a glance in my direction. Ha!

But this one below was my favourite of the night. She kept winking and smiling at everyone! She and four other girls were performing to Wonder Girls - Nobody. Wow, do they look the part! Every inch like the Korean girl group.

After the show, we left and poor Cs got dragged over to take photos with them. I didn't expect them to be so tall!

If you look carefully, his hands are resting on her boobs hahaha, and his face was much redder in real life! 

We (Jeffrey, Winnie, mum and I) were walking in front and Cs was left walking alone behind. That was when he got pulled into their arms. Poor guy.

Oh well. At least he got the prettier ones. Hahah..
