Aquaria Kuala Lumpur @KLCC Experience

Last Sunday, I had the opportunity to visit Aquaria KLCC, a place I have been wanting to visit for all the years I live in Kuala Lumpur. I got to know that I could purchase the tickets for less at 11th Street site, the same online shopping portal I got my Instax Mini Films, also for an awesome bargain!

 

The tickets for adult Malaysians cost RM46 if you purchase at the counter but only RM35 for adults online.

However, you do need to send text message to the vendor to claim your e-tickets, which takes two days to process. I had initially planned for a Saturday outing but because I had only contacted the vendor on a Friday, they got back to my adventure kaki (Kaki means leg in Malay but it is a Malaysian way of saying a buddy who hangs out with you whether for travel or mamak session or just anything!), stating that they couldn't get the e-tickets confirmed.

We got there at 11AM, hoping to get away from the crowd but 10 minutes into checking in, there was already a mini crowd. We were lucky to catch the cute otters feeding slash exercising session and they were adorable! Fun fact, the Malaysian otters are the smallest in the world! Which means the other otters gotta be obese, cause the otters displayed was by no mean "small". Good to know there are fat otters around.

We cruised past mini aquariums with fishes, crabs, lobsters, eels & loads other animals then past a 'shipwreck' housing several other aquariums with odd looking fishes. I won't upload many photos here cause I don't want to spoil the fun of exploring Aquaria KLCC, but trust me, it may not be the biggest aquarium in South East Asia, it is still an interesting destination if you love aquariums as much as I do.

My favorite part gotta be the rain forest, which house a few tanks with humongous-size fish, you might wonder how many people one fish can feed. I know, I know, but they're sorta food so....

If you're as observant as me, you'd notice they play recordings of birds in the wild and even thunders, accompanied by lightning effect which was pretty cool!

My next favorite part is the tunnel, where you can admire the fishes swimming around and over you, even huge sharks and stingray! Or funny faces of stingray like this one

I'm under the sea~ under the sea~

If you're lucky, you might catch a glimpse of fishes feeding on one another. Spotted a stingray feeding on some fish LOL. 

I went through the tunnel twice because I love the place so much! Could have gone in another time but I don't want to bore my friend, just in case.

Afterwards, more aquariums and then it was browsing through the souvenirs shop. They have lotsa cute plushies and I bought a husky one, because the fur is so soft~~~ Another because I have been looking for doggy plushies :) 

See my cutie~

Anddd that was it! Oh how I wish there were more! Though we did spent a good one and a half hour in there LOL

~~

We were starving after that, me only had Porky for breakie because I was rushing out and my adventure kaki only had a box of milk wtf. Because we spotted a  palm-sized crab that reminded us of soft shell crab, we decided to go for Japanese hahahahah.

I recommended Yuzu, a place I had been a few years ago and love their bento set so much because the food is amazing and its generous portion so worth the price! Ben thought he could just go with a simple, small set but it came with so many sides which was not shown in the menu hahahaha

This was Ben's bento _ Salmon Bento RM37 or RM39 I don't remember.

Mine, Yuzu Bento for about RM50

I only remembered I ordered the similar set the first time I went to Yuzu when the bento arrived and everything was just how I remembered it. The food are just as how I remembered them too, so yummy and the quality unchanged. I still love them very much! Will highly recommend this place. We were so stuffed OMG, so much that I didn't feel hungry until late evening.

That same day, I got my hair dyed mermaid color, it was not what I planned. Tell you how that happened in my next post!

Early 2016 Christmas Get-Together at Ben's & Mai Sky Bar. Plus Chrishmas presents for myself!

Just a few weekends ago I had an early Christmas get together at Ben's in Pavilion with my usual group of friends just catching up and making jokes~ #superhappytimes

My OOTD that day~!

Ben's one of my favorite cafes cause they serve awesome food there though it had been a while (3 years!) since I last came here. Here was what we ordered the other day~~

Food is still pretty good so it's quite worth the price! Too bad we were seated inside. I prefer the outdoor view of the street like the last time I was here. The ambience inside was amazing nevertheless!

After dinner we head out because my smart friend parked her car at a five star hotel cuz she couldn't find a parking spot hahhaha. Though because of that we could pose in front of Pavilion's grand Christmas tree at the main entrance of the mall! The fountain in front of the mall is one of the place where you can see tourists pose by LOL

And more wefies in the hotel lounge cause Malaysians LOVES taking photos just anywhere with nice decors and props hahahhahaha

The snowman was made out completely of ice! So cool! Geddit geddit. My lame pun (>v<)

Later we headed to Mai Rooftop Bar and ordered our drinks and continued chatting. The lighting inside was dim and of light blue hues which made us looked like Avatars LOL! Don't believe me? Check avatar me ⏬⬇
 

So I had to resort to flash to snap pics and no thanks to the dim lighting, it made the flash much blinding. Had tons of fun torturing my friends with it Lol cause he bullied me so it's sorta like payback. What happened was while I was chatting happily with another friend, ignoring this dude,  I didn't notice my phone was ringing and he took it up WTF. And it was my mom checking on me #DoubleWTFSituation.

So I went outside to talk and took pic lol

And went back in to entertain aka poke fun at everyone.

This Christmas I got myself several gifts_aside for a few dresses, I got myself 2016 Festive SK-II Pitera collection and an Instax mini camera!! Took me years of consideration to get these two cause they ain't cheap! Not a millionaire just yet okay.

So walah! Here is my SK-II babies~~

Like I promised in my first SK-II review,  I'll be writing another post on my observation after using SK-II's starter kit. It'll be in a Q&A format so if you have questions about this product, comment below and I'll be happy to answer that in my next post which will probably be next weekend!

Moving forward, here's my other new toy~~~ So happy looking at it even the colors so adorable hahaha. I got this entire Harajuku set on quite a deal_ RM300 for the camera together with all the accessories here including two sets of instax film from S&J!!

This is going to be an expensive hobby with my having to buy instax mini films every time I want to use them so I thought BUT thanks to 11th Street, I found I can get a box for RM21 for 10 sheets, wayyyy cheaper than market price!! So there you go Malaysian instax-grapher! Tips for you guys, you're welcome!!

Took some instax recently some you might have seen them on my Instagram~~

Aside from these, I also got a few from friends at work

Then there was a mini Christmas celebration with the company

And the team!

~ ♥ ~

Fast forward to today, even though Christmas has passed, the festive season is far from over here in Malaysia. In fact we are now transitioning to Chinese New Year and most malls have put up CNY decors!

This is the decor at Sunway Pyramid, was there just last weekend.

There was even a free CNY theme Purikura/photobooth too! I knew I have to take one LOLOL cause well, my Purikura obsession just crept back (Check out my last post on How to Play Purikura) and I vowed to snap more purikuras this year! In fact, I'm marking down the locations Puripix is offering different Purikura machines around Klang Valley and have dates with my friends to snap Purikuras in our next outings! I'm pretty confident with my power of persuasion LOL

And then, these are the decors at 1Utama~
