Rhonda SG Decided to post my photos of the new Aquaria in KLCC in a new thread because I'd love to see photos that any of you might have taken of any other aquariums and / or Underwater Worlds too! It'll be like our very own mini 'National Geographic' or 'Discovery' kinda feature on aquariums that we've been to! So... please share the photos if you have them! And tell us a bit too about that place itself, stuff like how you'd rate it, whether you'd recommend folks to visit, etc. I loooooove zoos and aquariums! I still wish our old Van Kleef Aquarium was still in existence. I used to go there alone after school or during weekends to just gaze at the displays for hours! I miss it sooo much! I've never been to our Underwater World yet. Does anyone have photos of it to share in here?
Rhonda SG Welcome to the spanking new KLCC Aquaria!! Here, the displays follows what other aquariums around the world are doing... replicate the natural terrain and environment the creatures live in. That's why there are lovely rainforest displays and what-not in there. Good concept. Reminds me of the Aquarium I visited in Baltimore, MD. Near the entrance, you'll see displays of reptiles! ''SSssssssss... which tail end's mine??'' What a tangled mess! This one's cute... ''Erm... honey... hold the action! I think we're being watched!!'' Ruuuuuuuuuuuuun!! Run for your lives!!! The tarantula's here!!! I found this pillar-like tank very impressive! (But I've seen the same thing in Baltimore, I think... so it wasn't unique.) Walk through the Underwater Tunnel and hey!... it's Feeding Time!! I love the vibrant colours in this tank! Wish they would put a comfy couch in front of it so you can stare at it for HOURS! Nemo FOUND!! Tried to take photos of Dory... but she was zipping around soooo fast, all the photos of her were totally blur! More photos coming up!
Rhonda SG Peekaboo! I see ya!! Isn't that erm... what's it called... prawn? mini lobster? whatever... Isn't it pretty? The colours are lovely! Ah... Bear's favourite sea creature, the Nautilus! Three of them large ones floating in a mini pillar-tank! Overwhelmed, the lone fish wonders, ''Where's everybody rushing to?'' Kayu Ikan!! Haven't you heard... there's a sale going on in the Suria KLCC Mall!! Aaaahhh... this one's a cutie!! Mr Puffer Fish!! Waited in vain for it to puff up! This is the same fudu fish that's a delicacy to the Japanese, right? If you slice it wrongly, the toxins in its stomach will be released and you can DIE eating fudu sashimi! ''Baby, we're inseparable!'' Seahorses in love!
Rhonda SG Yup! It's about three months old only! It's in KLCC's Convention Ctr, which is just beside the Petronas Towers. It's linked via the underpass in Suria KLCC Mall that's beside Tower Records. Don't miss it if you go there! They have a special package price for families with 2 Adults and 2 Kids.
Rhonda SG I have always had a thang for the sea, Fatum! But eh... the call of my purse is louder than the call of the ocean for now! Moreover, my purse is kinda empty so when it calls, there's an echo cause of the vacuum, so, it's actually louder than the sea!
Fatum SG I suppose nothing beats the real thing eh .... A few of my friends have worked there before though .... taking care of the dugong and the dolphins .....
Fatum SG yah ..... nice jobs ........ I had this fantasy of travelling to one of those polynesian islands and become a professional beach bum .... I'll start a scuba school on a beach cottage and teach diving to hordes of nubile japanese and french tourists ...... aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh .............
Rhonda SG If I were rich, I'd get a yacht and sail out to sea now and then and just spend a few days drifting there. My dad used to bring us out on his friend's yacht. I was pretty sua ku then and climbing up and down the yacht's ladder was quite a task to me and I was squealing and screaming for help, afraid that I'd fall into the sea! And then, sitting on the dinghy-like raft to be transported from the yacht to dry land was quite an experience! I was in lower Pri then, and a city kid through and through. So whenever dad brought my bro and me to sail or to his friends' farms, I was like totally sua ku!! My eyes were .
Rhonda SG There... the Dolphin Show at Baltimore's Aquarium! Too bad when I went there, I didn't own a digicam so had to rely on disposable cameras. These photos were taken by my friends on their digicams but when they sent it to me, it was grainy! Wish I had taken more shots! Always my #1 regret after returning from vacations - didn't take enough photos!
Fatum SG there are actually many species of the "Fugu" actually ...... the japanese eat more than one type ..... and there are other types eaten in other countries that are totally not poisonous at all ....
