At Zoo Negara and meeting Din Beramboi

This entry is totally outdated. In fact I have forgotten to write anything about Miki’s first trip to Zoo Negara in 27 February 2010 until today. I have a reason to that, and it is sad one.

Anyway, it was Miki’s third time going to the zoo, the first two times was to Zoo Melaka. Each time we went, Azman and I would marvel on how much Miki has grown and grew smarter than the last time he saw the animals. On the entire afternoon of 27 Feb; we took so many photos but none with Miki looking at the camera. He was either staring at that animal or this animal or that hot chick or this hot hoochie mama. Eh! Itu Miki ke Azman? Ke aku? Ehhhh

Anyway, Miki was a bit nervous being too close to Mr Elephant. We bought RM3 worth of bananas from the zoo authority to feed the friendly big guys.

Feeding a deer

This bear was very amusing. He was given a young coconut and he was really happy. He eagerly used his claws to peel off the husks and check out his pose while drinking the water. In order to sit up straight, he needs to hold on to one feet and keep his balance.

Tiger roarrr!!

The animal show was great. But Miki couldn’t sit still and watch the show. He was hungry and wanted to play with a white tourist girl about his age with hair exactly curly-murly like his. The parents of the girl was also fed-up with their hyper little girl and left the show half way. Tsk tsk

Front entrance. Still not looking at the camera.

The three of us.Yeayyy!

Zoo Negara opens daily from 9am to 5pm only. Entrance fee is RM20 for adults and RM6 for kids. The zoo is kids friendly, shady and cool too. The animal show is held daily at 11am and 3pm.

The thing that reminds me of our trip to zoo is Arwah Din Beramboi. The famous comedian who was born Mior Ahmad Fuad Mior Badri, 43 years old has gone today to meet his Creator. Was died of dengue fever.  I remember while we were walking down the mammals zone at the zoo, we walked pass him while he was about to start shooting for a show. He was wearing the outfit similar to what late Steve Irwin  was wearing so I guess he was hosting some animal show.

I said “Hi Pakcik Din!” and he looked at us smiling and replied “Hi!”

I told Azman later that we should have taken a picture with him but I didn’t because he was in a middle of shooting a show. I like Din Beramboi a lot! He was really funny and despite all the crazy jokes I know he was an intelligent, nice man. And now he has gone. Al Fatihah. May he rest in peace.
