chase the light

Today, Old Greg, Amira, Liza and I went to a butterfly zoo! Or so we thought there’d be butterflies. Turns out… not so much! Caterpillars no. Butterflies no. We got them in their second stage, cocoons, which is pretty low on the action factor. But… there were iguanas and birds and fish and people and frogs and snakes and piranhas and cacti. The butterflies were quickly forgotten as it was nice and warm inside compared to the freeze going on outside.

Later that evening we met up with Soraya and Nick for her birthday at a place called Georgetown Restaurant. Colonial Malaysian food. Mmmmmm… I’ll enjoy this, and I did. The restaurant was also very cool in that it was in a former clock makers building. Lots of things to look at and a few Singapore Slings were slung. I had the Pineapple Paradise! get this… ‘Served in a fresh pineapple case, this popular and impressive second course contains deliciously creamy fillets of cod cooked with pineapple chunks and mandarin orange segments.’ Yum… I can taste that all over again.

After dinner we walked back to Nick and Soraya’s hotel and had a round of coffees before calling it a night.

I call the juxtaposition between the dinner photo and the zoo photo “Night of the Iguana”. Thank you very much.
