Of Prom Dresses and Snakes

Went to One Utama yesterday to search for a dress with Arashi and Katherine. While ronda-ing we came across the MINI reptile exhibition in front of Waffle World and since a girl was holding a snake, we decided to check it out (even though I went past that exhibition for tens of times) and one of the girls there was selling tickets to the real exhibition (RM5 per person...as sold at the booth). So since we really had nothing to do we decided to check it out. Lol...we stayed there for probably two hours. Supposed to be looking for a dress, go tengok ular pulak... But it was great fun. One of the guys took out a small ball python for us to play with. It was soooo cool, really nice to hold and really cute. I held a python before, but this was my first holding it for a while...

So we chatted with the abang there for quite a while...he told us more about the snakes, how he got them and their characteristics and stuff. He fed the ball python a small mouse to show us first hand how it ate. He even let me play with a baby albino snake, forgot what species it was though, but it was really cute. Was pretty freaked holding it though, because it was really small and fast, and I was afraid that I will hold it too tightly or loosely, haha.

All in all, it was really an amazing experience...my passion for snakes sorta went through the roof after that. SNAKES ARE AWESOME!!! Still, I'm not as obsessed until I will live with them or whatever, but I really really like snakes, and I know better than to handle one without first confirming its species. But still, it was really cool. Sad though, it will only be here until the end of July, so I wouldn't really get a chance to play with the python anymore...*sniff*

Dang, wish I could post pictures up here, but I don't have the cable to connect my phone to the computer...aihz...

But if anyone has a chance to go there, please do so...it's really nice. Ask the guys there to being a snake out for you to hold...(ball python...they're nice...)

That's it for now, tata!
(PS: I got my dress!!)
