Ipoh- Last day

Yesterday, was our last day at Ipoh. It was quite fun! I’ll tell you all about it.

In the morning, we all got ready to go to Gunung Lang. It was a very beautiful place. We had breakfast at Di Naina. After we ate, we went back into the car and set off, to Gunung Lang. When we reached there, we saw a playground. My parents said it was a ‘fizikal’ playground. Our grandparents said that, we can play at the playground after we came back from the other side which was an island.

Our father bought our tickets and, we waited until the jetty came back from sending other people. I realized that, in the lake, there were big fish. Even big turtles!

When the boat arrived, we got on, and the jetty had to wait for other people. As soon as everyone had boarded the boat, the boat began to move until the island that was on the other side. It was interesting, relaxing and fun.

The boat had arrived and the people that was on the other island was waiting for the jetty to arrive. As soon as everyone got off the boat, the people that was waiting boarded the boat. The boat left. On the other island, there were a lot of trees so, it was not to hot and not to cold just nice. My brother and I ran until, we saw a tower. The tower was very tall. We went inside and went up the stairs. It was a bit tiring. I think it had about 4 or 5 levels. We went down the stairs after taking some pictures. We went to the Ostriches and Deers. After looking at the Ostriches and Deers, we went to play at the playground. I played at the monkey bars. I actually wanted to let go of the bars but, there was muddy water below and I was wearing my favourite shoes so, I had to move on.

We boarded the boat after we played at the playground. We went back to the island that we came from, played at the playground and went back home. We went back to our grandparent’s house, took a bath and went into the car to go to the train station.

We went on the train, and arrived at KL Sentral at 7 something. We went to our car, put our stuff and went to Little Penang Café to eat dinner. After we ate we went back home.

Ipoh-day 1

I have arrived at my grandparent’s house in Ipoh. How did I get here? By train. This is what happened before I arrived at Ipoh.

I woke up at 5.35am. Took a bath, and prayed Subuh with my father and brother. After we prayed, my brother and I when downstairs, and saw, my grandparents having breakfast. My brother and I followed our father to Suria KLCC.

When we arrived, our mother called and asked what we want to eat. She told us that she was at KFC. I wanted a chicken drumstick while my brother wanted hashbrown. After my brother and I talked to our mother, my father, brother and I walked until we reached the place where they sold the tickets. We walked a bit further until, we needed the tickets to get pass the machine. My brother flashed his card and left it there. I told him to take it with him because, he would need it later. We used our tickets two times until, we reached KFC. There, we saw our mother sitting on a chair. We walked over to her and asked were was our grandma. Our grandma appeared right after we asked our mother. We ate and waited until we were allowed to get pass the gate.

 Since that we had time, we went to the toilet. I didn’t feel like going. Just like my brother and sister. I noticed that the train that we were going on was called the ETS train. ETS stands for Electric Train Service. At 8.30am or 8.40am, we were allowed to get into the train. Some passengers were late so, we had to wait for them. At 9.01, the train moved. I was kind of fast. It made me a nit dizzy. My brother, sister and I counted how many tunnels we went into. I counted 9 tunnels just before I slept. When I woke up, we were close to Ipoh. My brother was excited that we were almost there.

Finally! When we arrived at Ipoh, there were a lot of people. I took my bag and walked out the train. At the station, there were a lot of people. We waited for our grandfather. Actually, he had already arrived its just that, he didn’t know where we were. My father called him, and he went to the place where we were. We had to let the adults to go in the car first then the children may go in because, the car couldn’t fit all of us so, we had to sit on the adults lap. You could call us sardines in a can! We had lunch at Nasi Kandar A.K. The food there was quite delicious. We when to our grandparents' house. It had been a fun day. :)

A trip to KL Bird Park.

Yesterday, my siblings, grandparents and I went to the KL Bird Park. Sorry I didn't write this on my blog yesterday. Anyway, I have some information about the KL Bird Park before, I tell you what happened.

This is the information: The Kuala Lumpur Bird Park (Malay: Taman Burung Kuala Lumpur) is a 20.9 acre (8.5 ha) aviary in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is a popular tourist attraction in the country, receiving an annual average of 200,000 visitors. It is located adjacent to the Lake Gardens. The Bird Park houses more than 3000 birds representing more than 200 species in an enclosed aviary. 90% are local birds and 10% were imported from overseas.

The History: The bird park is part of the 60-hectare (150-acre) Lake Gardens, which were established in 1888. In addition to the 20.9-acre (8.5 ha) bird park, which was created in 1991, the gardens include an artificial lake, the National Monument, the Kuala Lumpur Butterfly Park, Orchid and Hibiscus gardens, and the former Malaysia Parliament House. It is one of the world's largest covered bird parks.

Activities: Bird watching is a common activity here where the flora  and fauna is rich. The Kuala Lumpur Bird Park has earned a reputation among those who are keen on the study of birds in their natural habitat. Some of them include research scientist who monitor bird nest for the study of behavioral patterns.

·         Take the RapidKL Bus115 (From KL Sentral).

·        KTM Komuter - disembark at the Kuala Lumpur Railway Station, then walk to the Park or take a taxi.

Okay, I think that’s all the information about the KL Bird Park. If any of you have any other information, post it as a comment okay? Anyway this is what happened. Our grandparents picked us up in the morning (Didn’t read the clock before we left). On the way to the KL Bird Park, was heavy traffic.

 We arrived at the KL Bird Park at 12.00 something. We had to buy our tickets before we could go in. After we got our tickets, we heard that there was a bird show. It was just going to start. We had to catch the show. The moment we reached the show, we were lucky that it was just going to start. There were parrots doing some tricks like races, counting and putting blocks. I would say that it was just like the bird show at Afamosa, Melaka. After the bird show, we could go look at some other birds. There, I finally realized that the place where we watched the bird show, was called an Amphitheater.

 We saw lots of birds such as peacocks, cockatoos, parrots, ducks, flamingos, emus, storks and many more. Surprisingly, I saw a ‘Biawak’ on a rock waiting, for a bird to land on its spot. I was the first person to spot it. My little brother and I fed some birds. After we saw the waterfalls and everything else, my little brother was hungry. So, we went to a restaurant where the food there was delicious. We left the bird park just in time before it rained. Believe me, it was raining cats and dogs on the way to my grandparent’s house at Ampang.

I prayed my Zuhur when we arrived at the apartment. I watched TV right after I prayed Zuhur. My grandmother said “Insyirah, you should be watching National geography or the discovery channel.” Come on, I’m just ten years old! I thought. My brother woke up. I prayed Asar when I heard the Azan. After I prayed, my brother, grandmother and I went to my aunt’s room next door. There, I saw my baby cousin, Muaz. He is two months old, very talkative and likes to smile. At eight something, our father picked us up to go to my grandfather’s house (My father’s father.) Just to pay a visit. We went back home after that. It was about nine o’clock in the night. I think. We were so, soo tired.
