There's only a fine line between being lucky, or unlucky.
Like what crys have said earlier, the Terengganu trip was called off. The lucky part is, crys had the opportunity to go for the Sound of Music musical in the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC). Bet you’ve heard of the story – Sound of Music. If you haven’t, go read it up ! :) It’s a nice story. Honestly, it was crys’s first time watching a musical. It was a pretty good experience. The performance was nice and the singing, it was awesome. ^^v If the Terengganu trip hasn’t been cancelled, crys would not have came for the musical, and will not have watched such an amazing musical. Perhaps crys should say, crys was lucky for not being able to visit Terengganu. Oh wait, there’s one little amusing incident that happened during the musical that crys would like to share. In a scene where the hero and the heroine kissed, a kid said at the top of his voice ‘Yerrr’. And the audience laughed. Lol.
The Stage.
The Live Orchestra under the Stage. They’re actually packing and getting ready to leave at this very moment when crys took the photo.
However, before going to the musical, crys and crys’s family had dinner at Kenny Rogers’, KLCC branch. The service there was awful. One example of their bad service was, we ordered 6 dishes and only 2 of them came. Crys was one of the lucky ones that get the food. Not sure if that’s lucky, or unlucky… Wait till the later part of the blog post. ;) After losing our patience in waiting for the food to come, or in other words, we fed up of the slow service, we decided to pay for the food that has come to us and leave the shop. Since the service is bad enough, we did not want to sit at the table and wait for the bill to come. Instead, we walked to the cashier. However, it seems like the cashier is not doing a great job too. The staff took a really long time to even receive payment from their customers, which resulted in a very long queue. As expected, there are also few other customers who were also unsatisfied by their services and even complaint about it. After this terrible and horrible experience, crys thought that crys would never step into a Kenny Rogers’ shop again. Oh wait, that’s not all. That night, after getting home, crys felt really sick and began vomiting at 4 o’clock in the morning. Through those disgusting, gross, half-liquid and half-solid mixture that crys vomited, *Ewww* crys recognized that those are the food crys ate in Kenny Rogers’. Crys started to wonder if the food crys ate that evening achieves the hygienic standard. Well, crys is not trying to say that all Kenny Rogers’ shops’ services are bad and their food are not hygienic. The fact is, crys went to some other branches and their services and food were awesome. Just this one single exception branch in KLCC brought crys this sort of nightmare. ._____. If the Terengganu trip wasn’t failed, crys wouldn’t have went to KLCC and wouldn’t have gone through this kind of 'memorable' experience. >:(
Crys taking photo at the River View Seafood Restaurant. We were recommended to wear long pants in order not to get mosquito bites, however, crys made a bad decision by deciding to wear yoga pants. x.x
The other good stuff about not going to Terengganu is that crys gets to visit Kuala Selangor. Besides being able to enjoy the seafood there, the best part of this trip is that, crys has the opportunity to see real fireflies ! We went to the Kampung Kuantan Fireflies Park at about 8.30 pm and there was already long queues. (Note: The place was named Kampung Kuantan but it was located in Kuala Selangor, not Kuantan, so don’t get mixed up !) The tickets were sold in 4 at RM 10 per person, which means, you’ll have to buy at least 4 tickets. (Gentle tips if you’re visiting the fireflies: Make sure you bring at least 4 persons including yourself. XD) This is because maximum of 4 persons are allowed on each sampan. Yes, we actually ride sampans instead of boats. This is one of the ways to preserve the natural phenomenon of the fireflies, rowing sampans does not produce much noise as compared to boats. Besides, in my opinion, it would be more unique, fun and delightful to have sampans instead of boats. :P
The sampans rowed away from the crowd, and into darkness and silence. In there, crys saw lots of fireflies on the trees along the river. The amount of fireflies twinkling in synchronization made the trees appeared like Christmas Trees. Have you ever laid out on an empty field and amazed by the stars twinkling in the night sky? Watching the fireflies were as though watching the starry night, except that the blinking happened in the trees, instead of the dark sky. Last night, crys get to enjoy both twinkling stars and blinking fireflies at the same time. It was beautiful.
According to daddy, he visited Kuala Selangor few years back then, there were much more fireflies, the river was much more lighten up and it was much more beautiful. Crys wished that crys was there to witness that. Unfortunately, time never turns back. According to some websites, one main reason why the amount of fireflies dropped tremendously is due to the artificial lighting. For your information, fireflies flashes their lights to attract fireflies of the opposite gender. Artificial lights are likely to interrupt their mating behaviour and causes the species to face extinction. Being aware of this, please be responsible and do not use the flash feature while capturing photos of the fireflies. >:( Crys saw a number of the visitors actually used the flash feature in their camera. Crys doubts that the camera would capture the twinkling light of the fireflies with the brightness from the flash feature. ._____. If it wasn’t due to the cancellation of the Terengganu plan, crys wouldn’t have thought of visiting Kuala Selangor. From crys’s point of view, fireflies are the coolest bug on Earth. :D They’re just indescribably cute ! ^^v IT IS DEFINITELY WORTH THE MOSQUITO BITES !
Souvenir from the Firefly Park.
Fireflies is officially one of crys’s Favourite Things now. :P
‘My Favourite Things’ is a song from The Sound of Music. Go search it up ! Crys couldn’t find a nice video which explains why crys didn’t upload it on bloggiex. The lady who sang in the musical sang it much more beautifully. X) So, crys shall replaced it with a video of the theme song – Sound of Music. :) Crys found it on Youtube. Hope you enjoyed it. ^^v
Sound of Music found in YouTube.

Crys is starting to love fireflies ! ^^v
