There goes another day

I pestered my fren a few days ago to go to the Planetarium again, cos we couldnt make it on time the other day. I was so determined, therefore, we made sure we reach there early this time and its not a Monday! People learn from their mistakes, and so do we. And as we thought we were smarter liao, we fell into another trap. Its exhibition SUCKS big time!

Firstly, there werent much for display, and secondly, from the already limited display items, a few of them were not functioning. *duh* No wonder never have i heard anyone suggesting to go there in these 24 years.

We paid for a 15 mins mini teater about stars and the outer space. Do u know that our legs are slimmer if we are in the outer space with zero gravity? *amazed* Maybe the next slimming program will be done under zero gravity next time. Who knows??!!

We came out with our necks strained... results from looking up the ceiling too long.

I couldnt wait to get my butt out from that place and we headed for another mysterious place called Tun Abdul Razak Memorial Park. That was another disastrous move. The airconditioning system for the whole place (except for the reception area) were shut off, hence, i was almost drowned due to the lack of oxygen. How can any tourist come to visit the place if it continues going on this way?? I wasnt surprised at all when i realised we were the only group there.

The Royal Selangor is different! *thumbs up* Now that is what i call a place worth to visit.


World's largest pewter tankard

If u didnt know, the giant mug located at its entrance is listed in the Guiness Book of World Records as the World's Largest Pewter Tankard! This is something we should be proud of. hmm..

The visitor centre provides us with an in-house guide who took us for a factory tour, FOC. Founded in 1885 by Yong Koon, it has grown from a small shop to a well-renowned pewter factory in the world.


Yong Koon's touchmark - Yu He Zu Xi - is a combination of the Mandarin characters for Jade Peace and Pure Tin.
