Aquaria!!

Once upon a Sunday, Mr. Zul took his family to Aquaria KLCC... a state-of-the-art 60,000 sq. ft. aquarium in the heart of our beautiful (and busy) KL city. -end of intro-
Zara all ready and hyped to go out
so this is... hurmm 2 weeks ago? we went there after deciding that the zoo is just too hot to bring our little puff ball for an outing... well, air cond aside, at least we r sure that there are proper facilities for parents and infants at KLCC. so, thatz y we picked Aquaria :)

started at the entrance, b4 buying the tickets, the staffs insisted that they take your family photo b4 entering. maybe itz just their way of reducing the queue at the ticket booth... or just another way of increasing sales, if u know what i mean... or both. anyway... thatz that...

tickets - free for babies. u get special price if u show them your MyKad. and flat price for senior citizens.
at the piranha aquarium
right after the ticket entrance, there's this red bellied piranha aquarium. then there's a touch and feel section where u can put your hand in the pool and touch/hold the exhibits. i touched almost all of the marine life i can hold in there while wifey had a feel of the 'belangkas'. i dont know what itz called in english. but the staff keep calling it the 'King of Crabs'. so, okie...
baby sand shark
wifey 'cocok'-ing the 'belangkas'
after we've had enough of the touch and feel section, we continued our journey in the land of Aquaria...
electric eel
elephant nose fish? this fish is electric-ky too
electric catfish



Madagascar Hissing Cockroach
Did u know...? the Madagascar Hissing Cockroach is one of the largest species of cockroaches in the world. it is named due its nature of creating hissing sound (usually males) when fighting. this species also, compared to the normal cockroaches we see, is odorless, wingless, and slow. 

some seahorses
amazing! the lift brought us to Pulau Redang!
at the Arowana and Arapaima containment
we didnt get to take a good pic with the Arapaima - the biggest freshwater fish in the world. we keep getting blocked every time the fish comes near. itz the fish at the back there. just beside wifey's shoulder.see?

still feeding zara in the tunnel


at the end of the tour, we landed at the gift shop. got ourselves a fridge magnet as souvenir - chosen by zara. well, we picked 2, and show them to zara. she later reached for one, and that, is our winner! heheh =D all in all, itz a good weekend :)
