Yen, are you reading my mind? Toys are my real hobby! I really love the Halo series and NBX!
Cool... you keep many of them at home?The next day, my higschool classmate (also my neighbour) went around the town, visited my highschool even ha! Bring back lot of great memories. Then straight off to lunch.
This dish is popular in Malaysia, water spinach (Kang Kung in Malay) with shrimp paste
Chicken and Italian chestnut with some herbs
BBQ pork - yummy
Bitter melon with some kind of mushroom... quite tasty, minutes after I snapped a pic the dish was gone!
Patin fish
Before I headed down to Kuala Lumpur, I thank my friend for taking us around, we also visited his new house (moving in this coming Christmas), gave him some ideas on renovation.
After that we hit the North-South Highway in Malaysia. After 4 hours of driving, we reached Kuala Lumpur (KL), and Twin Towers, once the world's tallest building, can be seen from far.
I rented out my condominuim in KL before moving to the USA. My tenant was kind enough to let me stay during my visit in KL, and I am thankful she keeps the place neatly for the past 6 yrs

After couple of days visiting relatives (ah waste of time! <_< ), we decided to visit the KLCC (Kuala Lumpur City Centre) which is a shopping mall right underneath the Twin Tower.
My wife was busy shopping inside the mall
But my son and I managed to persuade her to join us for fish spa!
Getting our tickets. Afterwards, we need to clean our feet before letting the fish "cleaning up" the dead skin on our feet. We were given two towels as well.
There were several ponds but basically divided into ponds with smaller fish and bigger fish. We went for the smaller fish at first. But there were very few fish.
So my wife and I decided to try the pond with larger fish. We put our feet in the water, lo and behold, swarm of large fish came and It felt very ticklish at first, my son couldn't handle it too but after few minutes it feels great!
My feet haha!
The fish ran away when i'm about the take the ppic but there are still many of them around my wife's feet, so i teased my wife saying she got lot of dead skin to feet the fish
I took a video shot but unfortunately it was deleted. We were given 30 minutes and believed it or not my feet is smoother after the "spa" session. My wife loves it so much she went for another 30 minutes.
Later I learnt that the fish spa was banned in the USA for some reason. bummer...

Haha! West Malaysia is a peninsula so the main highway connecting the North (border with Thailand) and South (link to Singapore) is the North South HW

looks pretty fun.

Next to the fish spa is this place called Aquaria, an exhibition of animals (invertebrates, reptiles and amphibian) and marine lifes. It was still early after the fish spa so we decided to drop by as I heard they have one of the world's longest transparent underwater tunnels for marine lifes viewing. the only downside was no camera flash, so most of the pics turn out blurry.
We were greeted by a school of fish... wait those are pirahnas!
After a few aisles of large tanks there are few open ponds. There was this pond with good size shark. I was wondering if those sharks bite so i asked the a worker nearby.... and the answer was touch it with your own risk!! So i skipped it.
My son messing around with the sea cucumber and horseshoe crabs in one of the open ponds
There are few little sharks too
There are some shark eggs about to hatch, a pic of those and a short clip of the egg as you can see the shark moving inside the egg shell
We saw one shark hatched out from the shell
One of the giant electric eel. Ugly fish at least 5 ft long.

Aquaria is actually splitted into several sections, namely the highland, tropical jungle, flooded plain, coastal zone, reefs, and the ocean with animals from each section exhibited.
I was surprise to see many invertebrate too.
With dead bug display as well

Reaching the reefs section
A clip on some reefs marine life on an open pond
Afterwards it is the underwater tunnel, it was tough taking the pic as we were on the moving walkway and the fish were moving too.
A huge jewel fish coming out of no way.... pretty sure it will become a dish in a restaurant if captured
A huge shark and stingray
just for comparison, that sea turtle is an adult size.... is difficult to imagine from the pic but that stingray has the size of queen size bed
Passing a shipwreck
Have no idea a remora can get this bulky

Lots of great stuff! That tunnel is amazing... with a ship wreck even!! Wow. I'd love to go through that. Great butterfly specimens they have there too. Here's my favorite pic of these: :wub:
