hong kong day3

okay!
i know it have been 2months since i came back from hk.
but watever.lol this is the day3 of hk trip!
hopefully i can remember wat we actually did! LOL
ocean park & avenue of stars.enjoy! (:


we woke up, had some fish ball noodles near our hotel
they call the fishballs, "yu1 dan4"
then we set off to this bus interchange via the MTR,
where we took a bus to the ocean park.


that was the schedule of todaytat day's show.


we each got our ticket...


tadaa!i got the seal, the ocean park mascot haha!


we entered from the entrance which was near to the aviary section.
so the 1st thing we saw there were these birds.
lol if im correct they r called the flamingoes?


the entrance to the aviary.
theres those nettings inside to prevent the birds from flying away
i was wearing bermudas tat day, so i started getting mozzie bites once i stepped inside tat area
-_-


this beautiful birdy emoing by the water.haha


these are the mandarin ducks.
what do they call this in chinese uh?
"yuan yang xi xui" rite?


these r the orange flamingoes.


we left the aviary, went up a few long long steps of escalators
and reached here.
the view was kinda nice there.

i kinda persuaded both of my parents to go take the roller coaster together
n lol, they actually agreed to it.
hahaha!we seldom do such things together cos they dun really enjoy such rides.
so after coming down from the ride,
they were like this...


my father is exaggerating.DUH lol


im just acting stupid LOL


and together!we enjoyed the ride.thumbs up thumbs up.


our next spot, the pacific pier.
this area belongs to the fat fat bubbly sea lions!
wheee~ so cuteee!lol


posing with the plastic seals.


the kid in me :P


we entered this exhibition area where theres this pool in the middle.
there were a couple of sea lions swimming inside.

some of them were rather lazy n floated on the water,
while some flock to this area below!


being a tourist attractions,
obviously they will find ways to earn ur money!

u will have to pay about 5SGD to feed some fished to the seals.
and tourists being tourists, they just like to pay to have fun.hahaha!
i wanted to try but the qeue was pretty long.
so we gave it a pass.
awww ):


feel like pushing the fella inside!LOL


"stare wat stare"!


we left the pacific pier n decided to take a short rest.
grab some bites at the cafeteria,

and washed our faces at the toilets cos the weather there is really hot.


"this way!"


into the jellywish exhibitions we went!
tat place was very dark n we cant really see other ppl's faces.

there were roughly about 5-10 kinds of jellyfishes ard.
nt really much to see.


i duno wat they called these.
abalone jellyfishes?smthing like tat lol


this looks pretty nice eh?haha


this looks pretty cool!
its like as if the jellyfishes r going onto the surface of the water,
with the sunlight penetrating through.

but no it isnt.its just the lights from the top of the tank.hahah


these red ones look kinda like those octopus sashimis u find in jap shops eh?


they r really kinda fascinating creatures


at this part of the exhibit,
there r different colour of lights being shone onto the jellyfishes,
making them look more attractive.

but actually they are all just plain white jellyfishes where theres no lights.


haha this looks like mushroom!


this is how it looks like when the light is white,


and when the light is red!

PS the pics we took inside the jellyfish exhibit area kinda sucked cos its really dark.
n the usage of flashes is dumb cos it will reflect off the glass tanks.


this is the atoll reef!
there are alot alot of marine creatures inside.

theres this big pool of fishes,
all those really really big stingrays, couple of sharks here n there, eels, and thos fishes which looks like stone.

theres no picture of the big pool of fishes again cos of the poor lighting.


but heres a consolation!
NEMOS!hahaha those white white bits r their food.
they r kinda fighting over the food here.



okay!lo and behold
these creatures are called the chinese sturgeons.

the chinese sturgeons have been on earth since the time of the dinosaurs,
which can date all the way back to 140million years ago!
hence, they r the living fossils and national treasure of china.

five of these sturgeons were given to hk as a mark of china's hosting of the olympic games.
but unfortunately, one of them was bitten by a baracuda and died.
so now i tink theres 4 of them left.

their skins looks really really hard and they r really long n heavy!
tats one of the highlights of the ocean park during that period.

haha although i cant see a dinosaur, at least ive seen smthing which lived in the same period as them.


wu gui bo shi!the professor tortoise
he was right outside the sturgeon exhibits
haha he looks so knowledgable!lol


this was the highlight of the trip to the ocean park!
the performance by the dolphins and sea lions

being a lover of dolphins since young,
i was definitely excited abt the performance.
and they sure didnt disappoint!
haha mayb the sea lions did disappointed us abit.lol


the gracious dolphins leaping into the air, above the trainers.


the sea lion leaping over the stream of water.


haha during this part, one of the sea lion kinda disobeyed the trainer.
so it started running away from him.
hahaha then the trainer had to give chase.
it was kinda stupid though lol.

mayb the trainer just kinda sucked!lol


again, leaping off the water.


wooa!this was really really high man!
how graceful! :D


haha the dolphin doing wat the sea lions did.


if im not wrong, it was reaching for an object in the air.


spectacular!this is how high it can jump.
lovely!


another round of leapings.


after all the leapings, jumpings and swimming ard,
it was the end of the performance.
the trainers gathered the dolpins up to ask them to wave goodbye to us!

it was surely one of the best thing we saw tat day!
and it sure brightened up my day (:

so after tat, it was abt evening time.
we then qeued up to take the cable car down to the foot of the park to visit the pandas!
the qeue was so freakking long, it took us abt at least 30-45 mins before it was our turn!
damnit.lol we were worrying that the panda exhibits would be closed by then luhh!


LOL!holy shit look at how steep the cable car is!


"huh!so tall!?"

and so, we reached the foot of the park.we rushed down to the panda exhibits and found out tat it was....
