family day out by the beach

for some reason, our family has a tendency to end up at mangrove swamps when we go out. this time, we ended up somewhere in sepang. oh, parents and brother just returned from korea yesterday night. i thought they would be there for two weeks, but it seems it was 8 days, not two weeks. haha.

on the way out today (we were fetching uncle to lcct where he was meeting some friends who were going up to genting) we passed by KLIA which i recently discovered was designed by the metabolist guy, Kisho Kurokawa. I discovered it because I'm currently reading state of fear by Michael Chrichton (who rather likes chaos theory, i realize) and now i'm wondering if mankind is ever able to do anything for the environment and if statistics are ever true and is the world really run by capitalism? and other stuff that reading Michael Chrichton invariably leads me to think. I think someone in the house is a Michael Chrichton fan. We have Jurassic Park, The Lost World, The Andromeda Strain, State of Fear, Timeline, Congo, Next and possibly Sphere, but not sure about that one. Perhaps the fan was me, I don't know. haha.


these are some chocs from korea, we munched them in the car


these are the 'nude' chocs


these are the 72% something bitter chocs which mom likes


we saw some planes


we saw some buildings


we saw some pretty sky


don't be fooled. it looks serene and cool, but it was HOT


nice bench in a corner


it seems like some other world, but actually this is the seabed when the tide is out


that's mom and my brother gideon, braving the heat to check out seabeds when the tide is out


this is my brother isaac


dad disallowed him from going out too far, cos he was afraid he'd get heatstroke, so here he is kicking up a fuss


this is my sis jasmine with a conch shell she found nearby


pretty conch shell


and then they found two


they look really nice on the concrete


host of korean snacks


i LIKE


I like taking pics too :P


the brother and his shells


he's shyshy


shadow at your feet


smiley face, smiley face on the sand :)))


two pretty conch shells and one enthu amateur photographer


really enthu amateur photographer

and then again

何方ですか?


pile of pretty looking rubbish!!
enthu amateur photographer: YAYYY!!! *snaps enthusiastically


father son moment
Father: WHY ARE YOUR SHOES SO MUDDY @@
Son: I FOUND SHELL I FOUND SHELL!!!
Father: WASH LEG!
Son: WASH SHELL!!


they found shells by the sea shore


they found crabs too!! CUTE CRABBY!!


and guess what, i ventured out into the heat as well, to see the seabeds when the tide is out


i saw this rottie mix somewhere out


this skinny white thing was following me...discreetly


the wonder of nature...this thing sprouted up pretty fast...


the place was TEEMING with little crabs


third doggie spotted!


the brother went to korea and grew bigger heh


what did the mudskipper say to the crab?
mudskipper: stupid amateur photographer
crab: aye...lets pose...


caught! i told you it was following me!


lots of these little shells around


it retreated!


brother moment...what on earth are they looking at?


catch of the day: a baby crab, a baby king crab, lots of tiny crabs, some living conches and some hermit crabs...i tell you, the reason why we have weird pets in the house is because we always end up in magrove swamps when we go on family outings


dad met an Indian guy who sold us a bag of freshly caught shrimp, which we had for dinnerdinner :)

i asked mom if i could go on exchange during lunch and was a little shocked (i was expecting some ums and ahs and how much will it cost etc from mom at least) when she said: go! must go! it'll be a great experience! nothing you can get at nus! apply as soon as possible!" i then mentioned it might be a bit expensive, especially if i went to europe...then her reply was: that's okay! apply! we're willing to spend the money...exchange will open your eyes! then i said: my grades....ahem, maybe i can't go... then dad piped up: have you heard of prayer? haha. so, with my parents blessing i'm applying for sep and i pray i will be able to go :) hopefully to scotland, haha, but anywhere also can.
