Its an animal day for me the other day! We went to the crocodile farm and the zoo! Both of them are along the highway exit of Ayer Keroh, Malacca. Ya know, its kinda nice to look at animals after facing all those people for so long, heheh.

The entrance fee for the crocodile farm is MYR5.00 per adult. Once you pay and proceed, you will be greeted at the entrance by two stuffed crocs, together with a brief history of them. Mind you, I think that those two are REAL crocs… or at least they were. Here are some FUN facts that I can remember about those two:

The bigger of the two, as it stated, was named “Johnnie”, with a length of almost FIVE freaking meter and as obese as crocc should. (Now before you start thinking less about me, let me clarify that I’ve never seen such big reptile other than those in Hollywood production.) Johnnie is a Malacca boy, captured somewhere along the Malacca River.

It so seems that “Johnnie” used to be a very ferocious and virile croc that he dominates the entire female harem of the farm, killing any other suitors with his strong tail swipe or “libas” as the word in Bahasa Melayu stated it. However, he died of ” merangkak di atas simen sebanyak dua hari kerana stress”, or loosely translated as death due to crawling on the cement for two days due to stress. What a pity.

The other croc died of pneumonia it seems. Only a metre long. Dwarf species, not significant.

Due to the fact that we were visiting in weekdays, we were 1:20 outnumbered by the crocs, no shit. The air were so thick with the stench of cold blooded reptiles that my hair is standing at the back. Heck, I am a bit afraid of those crocs that seems to lie around like logs in their exhibit.

This is the sight that greets me no matter where I look. And it freaks me out.

Since this is no “Lawatan Sambil Belajar” (Learning Trips), no gamekeepers care to explain what is what and the only thing we got is from what the signboard says. From what I’ve gathered, crocs are animal that:

• Is cold blooded (duh!)
• Able to live until the ripe old age of 120.
• Will usually die of some disease before the age of 120. (This includes STRESS, pneumonia, high cholestrol, cancer, etc, etc)
• Will be able to mate at the age of 11-15.
• Lays eggs. (DUH!)
• Eats insects, small fishes, land animals, and small mammals. (Err, does that include humans?)
• Does not practice monogamy, as the males will fight and the winner takes all, and losers, err… I have no idea.
• goes through PMS stages during mating season.

Pay MYR10.00 for three chickens and you can feed the crocs with it. ALIVE. As if I am not freaked out enough.

Ahhhh! What a great day! Another day for me to do nothing, absolutely nothing! Ahhh…. the taste of freedom. I hope that it will not turn into boredom any soon.For first time in days I woke up myself without the panicking sound of the alarm going off at a very annoying buzz. Two alarms in fact. I had two. Just in case one of them decided to die on me due to severe abuse. Heh. It was kinda late and my lazy fat bum had been roasting under the sun for quite some time before I decided to wake up.

Whooopps! Hurricane exam strike again. Piled up laundry, bits and pieces of paper everywhere, food wrappers, empty cans, mouldy food and some unidentified object strewn across the room like some sort of shipwreck debris.

WHY ME!!!

Think I gotta spend a helluva lotta time to clean up and to pack.Meanwhile I am planning to go around Malacca. To do some exploring. Please recommend some nice places of interest, will ya?

Yosh! Hi guys, I am back! Yeah, I know I’ve been missing in action since like, ages? Since the old look is all stale and mouldy (Heck I still like it anyway) I’ve decided to give this blog a new makeover to include things that I like. This is the old template just for remembrance:

Notice the anime shrine at the topmost of the page? That indicates whatever anime that I am currently crazy with.

Today is the end of my finals. Phew! Stayed up this late because I haven’t condition myself back to sleep during regular hours. Damnit! And the gentle pitter patter of raindrops falling from the sky makes it feel oh-so-good to sleep but I just couldn’t sleep. Bloody unfair.

Ya know those things who crawled all over the ceiling? It is called lizard, no? Heard that someone referred to them as gecko sometime back. And I thought that gecko was something else. Arghhh! Nevermind. Just forget it.

Hope that I can blog more often. See ya!
