Owlcatraz

today, i went to Owlcatraz, a native birds and wildlife park with friends..before we start the tour, me and a friend performed zohor prayer outside the entrance building..we just put a jacket on the floor next to a rack of chairs..and pray as usual..and my other friends were waiting for us inside. since we were praying towards a rack of chairs which were covered with a canvas, where the kiblat direction is, suddenly, a kid came out and asked me what's inside the canvas..she was suspicious since we seemed very attracted to the 'things' inside the canvas..but, we were praying at that time, so we can't answer her question. she kept asking me, "what's inside?"..sabar jela..fuh, luckily my friend finished first, and she explained to the kid that there're just chairs inside the canvas, and nothing interesting there..but she looked suspicious and asked again..then why you guys are doing that?well, we were praying when she came, so, rukuk and sujud might look interesting for her..haha..then, she try to "sujud" to see what's inside the canvas as well..then, my friend said we were praying..but absolutely, she know nothing..what's praying for her since she just about 8-10 years old kiwi girl i think..so,it's kinda funny though..then, our tour guide also came out to say that he was ready but then he realised that we were praying at that time, so he stopped talking to us..mayb he could understand what we were doing, or he might think that we were...only God knows..haha

then, we start our tour..there were lots of owls and weka (bird species)..and also giant cows..one more interesting thing that we experienced was the Wairuru Cave..a man-made cave which take about half an hour to go through..

Wairuru Cave entrance

there was very dark and silent in the cave and a bit cold...i think this was my first experience to be in the cave that is very dark..i tried to get a feeling of being in a coffin in a grave..being alone, and very dark..no body there with u anymore..fuh,quite scary..anyway, there were lots of glow worms which at first i thought it just man-made light bulbs..*itulah,berangan lagi time tour guide tu bagi penerangan*..haha..subhanallah..sangat cantik!!seems like u see lots of shining and blinking stars in the sky at this moment..*i wish i can lie down in the middle of the rugby field over there, and watch the stars..with a partner perhaps?coz u know, i hate to be alone.... =P*
all together, it was very amazing experience for me..thanks friends who bring me over there..
