Jom jalan2 Dubai Mall Aquarium

Sempena aktiviti hujung minggu, jom kita pegi Dubai (Mall) Aquarium & Underwater Zoo... eh betul ker underwater Zoo...? cam tak percaya jer....:)

entrance fee was AED50 for both Aquarium tunnel & underwater zoo... kira OK ler. Kalo nak masuk aquarium tunnel saja, the fee is AED20... tapi rasanya tak berbaloi sungguh ler kalo masuk aquarium tunnel sajer... kejap sangat, not worth it.... baik pegi to underwater zoo sekali... best...!!

Dubai Mall aquarium nih kira popular jugak ler... memang besar, clear blue water, nampak segala jenih hidup2an dlm air... memang mengasyikkan tengok ikan2 beso tuh ke atas ke bawah... my favourite is of course, the ikan pari(s)... berenang together2, ataupun ikan pari "helang" (eagle stingray...) yang naik ke atas. lepas tuh menjunam ke bawah, naik ke atas, menjunam ke bawah... exercise ler tuh...

so many people oneee....!! kalo nak tengok aquarium from outside, it is of course free...

tengok ikan2 tuh...? tengah berkumpul coz depa tengah bagi makan kat ikan2 tuh... was just wondering, kalo jerung2 tuh pun dtg dekat to the diver yg bagi makan kat ikan2 tuh, what would be his/her reaction huh...? kelam kabut naik atas "darat" tak...? hahaha....

this fish looks very innocent oneee.... but try put your hand inside the tank.... give it 5mn, then check again if you still have your hand...? still got flesh or not...? hehe... these are the piranha(s)... don't play2 huh...! kang sia2 hilang tangan kang...!!



these are water rats.... huaaa... got oso huh? thought only got tikus mondok.... depa 4 stooges nih kira tengah lepak2 after pegi berenang ke sana ke mari ler tuh... semua muka poyo jer... mintak simpati gaknya....




Giant arowana...!! tangki depa tak cukup besar laaa... depa nak buat u-turn macam siksa jaaa...

this ikan very interesting oneeee... coz mulut dia very muncung one... nih mesti sebab dulu2 dia sama ada : 1 - suka moncoi/mengadu; or 2 - suka mengumpat; or 3 - suka mencebik merajuk.... sebab tuh mulut dia muncung gila punya...!! haha....

nih dia tengah exercise mulut kut, or tengah warming up, to start another mengumpat session dgn kengkawan... :)... ekcelli, rasanya, ikan nih tengah mengaut serbuk2 makanan dalam tangki tuh...

obor2.... mengasyikkan... dalam tangki warna biru.....

ketam beso tuh....!! yang depa tangkap kat Alaska (anybody watched that documentary at Travel Channel? or Discovery travel & living...?)... besar betul kome...!!

kalo ada ketam bunga lalu tepi kat ketam beso nih, sure ketam bunga kasik tabik spring sambil lalu tepi lah...!! tunjuk hormat maaa.... mana boley lawan sama ini ketam besar....?!!

the usual ikan besar (which I oso dunno what is the name...)

atthe zoo, also got pengiuns.... this bird cannot fly one, but can swim dahsat oneee....!! memang laju...!!

best gak tengok pengiun nih berenang ke sana ke mari... so playful...

itu jer ler... conclusion... personally, gua rasa this aquarium is better than the one at Atlantis Hotel, walaupun lebih kecil.... sebabnya, the water is clearer, they have good background audio sound effect (at the zoo), suasana aquarium/zoo yang terang,... more condusive lah...!! overall, better...!!

sajer jer ambik gambo Burj Dubai nih... ntah bila ler nak siap sepenuhnya... just discovered that this bldng is not for offices only, but a combination of hotel, offices, apartments and of course, shopping mall "downstairs" (kat bawah bangunan tuh ler...)... ntah saper ler yang bertuah yang beli apartment yang kat tingkat atas tuh....!! sure panorama yang mengasyikkan.... apa2 hal emergency, tak payah nak cuba turun tangga, pecahkan cermin, and jump down with a parachute jer....!! haha...

looks a bit familiar rite...? ingat tak apa dia...? ada iras2 belakang Suria KLCC (near to the big water fountain and park...), rite...? funny... :)
