I was reading an article in a magazine that more and more people are now turning to cruises for their functions or parties instead of holding them at a posh hotel. Cruising is no longer just for celebrities but they are still for the rich. You don’t have to be famous but you need to have $$$ to hold a party on a cruise. The rest of us can only look at a Cruise Guide and dream.

There are cruise ships that are huge with lots of entertainment within, casinos, gyms, eateries, you name it. Well, if you are not rich enough to own a cruise ship or to charter an entire ship for your party, you can still go on a cruise holiday, I suppose. Its not like having your own party on your own boat but its still an experience to add into your memory bank without denting your bank account too much.

I have not had the chance to go on a cruise before. I hope I have the chance to… one day.. How about you?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Took the kids to the KL Bird Park recently. Also known as the “The World’s Largest Free Flight Aviary” it certainly houses a large collection of birds. They look well fed too. I could see that they were feeding on papayas, corns, bananas and other fruits. Yum yum. The fruits do not look like discards. They look fresh and good.

The birds were used to tourists I suppose because they flew about freely right before our faces. Some of them were really colorful and some looked like they were wearing pretty headdresses. Now, I know where some designers get their ideas. The colors were really beautiful and striking. Bright hues of red, yellow, turquoise, blues, greens, purple and pink. There were quite a number of peacocks too and one of them decided to showoff to us, spreading its beautiful tale wide open. It was quite a sight to behold.

To my amusement, I saw a signboard in front of some green leafy plants. There was a brief description about the plant. The signboard labelled it as the Malaysian Ginseng. It was a Tongkat Ali plant. Hahahaha. Well, I guess it belongs in a bird park alright since its suppose to treat another type of “bird”. Lol!

Since its Friday, those of you who have kids and have not been there before can consider going there for the weekend. Its RM30 for adults and free for kids under 3. Can’t remember how much it is for kids above 3 but if you flash them your MyKad, you get a discount so your ticket costs only RM12 for an adult. Please forgive me if I get the ticket prices wrong. My memory isn’t quite what it used to be.

There! Done my bit for Malaysian tourism. Happy Weekend to everyone.
