Kuala Lumpur Butterfly Park

I went to the Butterfly Park today to take some pictures. It was a really nice sunny day, with the sky reasonably clear. The Park was not too big. The Bird Park was bigger. My initial plan was to go to the Orchid Garden but they were closed until July for refurbishment works. But the Butterfly Park was a good alternative cause hubby would have died of fright there. He can't stand creatures with long legs and flies!

It cost RM5 to get in and they charge RM1 for bringing in a camera. They charge tourist an additional RM10! I nearly paid the tourist amount. I did not know that there was a local rate. The lady at the counter asked me where as I was from. I said KL. She quickly told me that I should be paying Rm5 instead of RM15. Nasib baik I tak fufah. Silap silap kena bayar tourist price!

The park was not that well maintained. There were loads of butterflies but not many unique looking ones. I thought the Penang park had more special looking butterflies.

I spent about 2 hours there, snapped as many as I could and went to look for something to eat for lunch. I left the house without breakfast. I did not want to miss the sunny morning!

Went to the Hornbill Restaurant at the Bird Park for lunch. Had Hainan Nasi Ayam. Was not bad. Nothing can beat Madam Kwan's chicken rice though.

After lunch I thought I visit the Memorial Tun Razak. When I was in primary school, we made a school trip, but I think it was the Tun Razak Memorial, but Tunku Abdul Rahman.

The memorial was not far away from the Bird Park. Just around the corner. I was surprise, there was no one there. No cars or buses parked in the parking lot. I was wondering if this was the right place. Knowing Malaysia, signages were poor. I had to ask the guard if the place was tne Memorial. They said yes.

I did not have to pay to get in. I headed upstairs, followed the arrows. I was a bit apprehensive. I was alone and does not look like there was anyone else (tourists) in the building. I thought, what could happen in broad daylight. I browsed through Tun Razak's pictures of him signing important peace treaties and things. I walked on further and came across a bathroom behind a glass wall. HUh?? Oh... then I remembered that it was meant to be his house or something. After the bathroom was the master bedroom. I began to feel uneasy. As I walked further.... I felt a strong presence. GULP! I felt like running for my life. I thought, ok, I will look silly. Justl calmly turn around and walk away.

I headed towards where I came from and headed downstairs again.

YIKES!! What was that! I was only up there for like 5 minutes.

I heard voices of some tourist downstairs and I thought I'd browse there instead. It was quite boring really. Mostly Tun's gifts, old stuff, clothes. I left after about 10 minutes.

AIYO..... but that feeling upstairs was awful! Like I walked into something (someone??) It was a strong feeling!

EEeeeee...... I will never go to these places alone again.
