FABULOUS TRIP!

 Welcome back to the Cow, the Fish and of course, the Riceball! *bows*

Two days ago we had our first class trip this year to *drumroll*... a chocolate gallery, a batik handicraft workshop and lastly, the aquarium in the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre! It really was quite an exhausting day, thank goodness there was no Phys Ed test the next day.



POWERPUFF GIRLS! (it's POWER RANGERS, lol)

This is just a brief summary of what we did during our class trip, so forgive me if we have missed any significant details.

Note: As we have said earlier, we were not supposed to be revealing ourselves so soon in the future, but as it is troublesome to blur out all our faces in each photo, we've decided to leave them there and let you decide who is who.

We set off at about 7.40 in the morning along with a... *cough* friendly *cough* bus driver. We didn't actually talk to him, though. It was rowdy in the bus, with the sounds of chattering everywhere and music playing throughout the ride. We took tons of selfies that ended up deleted, watched anime crack videos and laughed till our stomachs hurt, but nonetheless it was a lively trip.

We reached the batik center first at about 9 something. Since we had some time to kill (our batik session was at 10.30 due to some of our friends coming along later due to performances), our bus turned back and stopped at guess where? The Chocolate Gallery!

We have an absolute chocolate freak in our class whom we always pick on. We saw her eyes widen with ecstasy when she merely heard the word. As we got down from the bus, we did a headcount so that we could be sure everyone was here.

A lady ushered us in and showed us the cacao pods, where they only harvest the cacao seeds and process them in factories through conching, which makes cacao (or cocoa?) butter. (Credits to geography teacher for the chocolate knowledge, actually!) We were then brought inside and were shown a magnificent work of chocolate art: twin dark chocolate dragons with a pearl made of white chocolate in between. We all ogled at it and I personally thought of taking it home when one of us noticed there were ants inside the glass casing... eww! (That is one ugly pic )*sigh

The lady told us that it had been there for eleven years, and kept at room temperature so that it will not melt. Can you imagine it? Eleven years! Anyway, she then led us down a corridor to a counter full of goodies, and introduced various types of chocolate to us, such as black sesame chocolate, tongkat ali (ginseng), green tea chocolate (?), and even chili chocolate! And then she took out a packet of small brown chocolate eggs coated with cocoa powder, and to our amazement and horror, began to smash it on the counter. Hard. The chocolate barely had a crack after all the smashing. All of us were SURPRISED and of course, we did wonder if it will break our teeth but it amazingly wouldn't.

After all the touring around the chocolate gallery, we went to the Batik Handicraft workshop. When we reached the center, we had 1 hour to spare before the workshop so we toured around the batik handicraft centre, but the things there were EXTREMELY expensive, so most of us thought it was not worth it so we didn't get anything. We weren't supposed to take pictures but hey... AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT!

In the workshop, we were given pieces of cloth to draw our designs. We used hot wax to draw our designs, then we blended different colored dyes onto our drawings. The batik experts guided us with our batik making and gave us many useful tips. It was hard and tiring work but most of ours turned out well. MOST.

After we finished our batik and left it to dry, we went to the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) to have our lunch and go to the aquarium, Aquaria. There were a few stalls selling food; it took us almost ten minutes to figure out what to eat. In the end, we still chose western food. Their pizza wasn't really that nice but it was filling at the least.

At last, Aquaria!

Although some of us had been there a few couple of times already, it was still fun because we went with our classmates instead of our families. Fish was really excited, and kept babbling about meeting her relatives. We saw many types of beautiful and healthy sea creatures like...

A shrimp...

A unicorn fish...

A pedophile super weird fish thingy...(it's a STINGRAY)

We even watched the divers feeding the sharks, there's only one word we can describe them with. BRAVE. We wouldn't have dared to do that. While the divers were feeding, a sea turtle was trying to be cheeky and attempted to take some fishes from the bucket. Alas, it didn't get to have any because the divers were just in time to take them away from it.

After the trip to Aquaria, our original plan was to return to the handicraft center to pick up our artwork, but to our surprise and delight when we boarded the bus, good old Mr. Bus Driver had already picked them up for us! Told you he was friendly.

Whew. That was a long story. It's probably not a summary anymore.

And that's about it for our blog post! Sorry for bad pictures (lookin' bad in all of them, ew) but until next time, sayonara!

●○ Welcome to Our Blog! ○●

Greetings! Salutations! Welcome!

The Cow, the Fish and the Riceball are, in reality, a bunch of dorks who delight in watching anime, reading, writing, drawing and making fun of butts fangirling.

Before we continue on, let’s have a brief introduction to the administrators of this blog who will be hosting (and participating in) an interview later on.

First of all… please welcome the fabulous Cow!

Hi, compadres! WELCOME TO OUR FABULOUS BLOG. I'm fourteen this year and I love the Harry Potter series. I'm a professional assassin and I love to pull pranks on my friends. My great sense of humor is highly recommendable ;) as well as my habit to procrastinate but still manage to pass up my homework...most of the time. I especially love cute things like Toothless and Hiccup. *sigh. I can be quite the sentimental person at times. Especially when it comes to anime and books where you feel like crying your eyes out:'( I am also a very, very forgetful person. I can never remember anyone's birthday or secrets, so it's safe to tell me anything because I am likely to forget it. So yeah...bye?

P.s. I am aware the word 'cow' has 2 meanings. I am the actual animal, thank you:| Cows are so not appreciated nowadays. 
 

Next up… we have the charming Fish!

Hola, My Friend! So, My name is Goldfish, but you can call me Fish. So...I'm specifically 14 years 4 months and 8 days old. I LOVE to spend my day on my reliable gadget, reading books on Wattpad, Facebook and Chat with my friends and of course Youtube-ing. I'm not like the one below, who likes fangirling although I sometimes do (don't ask me about what). Besides that, I go for swimming whenever my parents are free(which is not most of the time) and doodle on anything that is in front of me, even exam papers, I guess I like to leave a remark that I was there ^_^. That's basically me. If you really read this, I would like to ask a question. Why are you reading about me?(-_-) Just skip to the interesting part.

And last but not least… the Riceball of Riceballs!

You can continue scrolling because I’m not that important.

For those of you who are just bored with your life and insist on reading my introduction, well, you leave me no choice.

13-and-a-half year old who enjoys reading, writing and fangirling (will not deny that). Extrovert on the outside, introvert on the inside. (Even though at school I may be a friendly person, I’m actually a shut-in.)Mostly writes adventure fiction, watches shonen anime (I strongly recommend The Seven Deadly Sins, Soul Eater, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, and Fairy Tail [it’s worth the watch])and may be capable of drawing a little bit.

And that’s the end of the introductions! Now…

An Interview With The Cow, the Fish and the Riceball by The Cow, the Fish and the Riceball

Bowing to the enormous pressure from readers to reveal more about ourselves, we have granted ourselves the permission to interview… ourselves.

We’d like to start off by asking the big questions—are “Cow”, “Fish” and “Riceball” your real names?

All: Of course not. What do you think?

Can you tell us your real names?

Cow:  How about no.

Fish: I wonder what makes you think I will.

Riceball: You’re very funny. You should do comedy.

What is this blog about?

Cow: That is highly personal, Dumbledore said so.

Fish: It's stated above.

Riceball: This blog is merely for entertainment purposes, where useless stuff is posted.

Why did you create this blog?

Cow: For your enjoyment, of course. Our top priority;)

Fish: To share with you guys my life.

Riceball: Nothing, really, it was just a project from our teacher, although we plan to turn it into something fun. 

Why do you call yourselves by the respective nicknames?

Cow: 'Cause cows are fabulous!

Fish: Well, apparently cow started calling me that, and I thought it's pretty cool. Even though is just 'Fish'.

Riceball: I love riceballs, considering since they're tasty and one of my fave anime characters is represented as a riceball.

How frequent are your posts?

Cow: At least once a week. It depends on the mooood.

Fish: Once a week. Depends if there is any interesting 'stuff' happened.

Riceball: Once a week, at the very least.

Do you have any personal blogs?

Cow: Nope!

Fish: No.

Riceball: Hmm... I don't know. 

Will you answer questions?

Cow: Yes, as long as the questions are actual questions.

Fish: If it's worth answering.

Riceball: Only if they're logical, or when people need to cut down on their lameness.

Where can we contact you?

Cow: justamango@gmail.com. But why would you want to contact me...?

Fish: You can email me. callmegoldfish92@gmail.com. But I don't check my email frequently. So, just comment below unless e-mailing me is necessary.

Riceball: mintchocolatechipnut@gmail.com. Will have to look through junk and spam to find them, so don't expect much.

How long are you keeping this blog up?

Cow: I am quite forgetful, so I might forget I even owned an account. So yeah.

Fish: As long as I can.

Riceball: We'd probably on hiatus for a long time (let's say, a hundred years), but as long as there's stuff to talk about, stay tuned. 

Will you reveal yourselves in the near future?

Cow: Ta-da! Already revealed. Too bad you can't see me.

Fish: I don't have a future teller ball. Therefore, I'm not sure.

Riceball: Don't think so.

And that is the end of our interview! Thank you, and have a nice day!

*curtains begin to close--

WAIT!

Ja ne~!
