After lunch at Aquaria - 31 October 2008

This trip to Aquaria came totally by surprise - Fred had tickets, which were expiring that very day, and didn't want them to go to waste. So, since I've never been to Aquaria, he suggested we have a quick lunch and go there after. Cool!

I didn't have my camera with me that day and it totally slipped my mind to borrow the department camera.. Aiyo! So, I had to make do with the camera on my handphone. Bad pix, plus I really don't know my fishes - this is gonna be one helluva entry!

Other than fishes and other marine life, Aquaria also houses some amphibians, reptiles, creepy crawlies like tarantulas, giant milipedes, etc. and a couple of marmosets. With the limited use of my phone camera and the dim lighting at some areas, I just had to take pix of what I could...

Some sleeping frogs.. very cute..

This fella's my favourite.. it was up close to the glass earlier and showed a lot of personality!


These fish were in a turbular aquarium and were just swimming round & round it. It's just one endless F1 race for these guys I guess! Haha.. And, I could've sworn I heard strains of Dead or Alive's "You spin me round & round"..


These fish just creep me out! Yeah, sharks and the likes are big, but it's expected.. these guys just look so unnaturally huge.. like mutants!

These were taken at some shallow pools..

These were taken just before entering the underwater tunnel.. There was a huge mantaray that had just passed by before I took my shots.. waited a while hoping to get it but it didn't come by..

Fred at the underwater tunnel..

Next, pix of whatever I could photograph (and turned out well enough) from the underwater tunnel..

Taken near the exit of the tunnel.. So cantik!

All these were taken just before the main exit..

Since time and the camera were so limited, I didn't get to see, read and take pix of as much as I would have liked to.. A return visit perhaps??
