Kota Tinggi Firefly Park River Cruise and Sky Lantern

A Continuation Post from Desaru Mini Zoo and Kota Tinggi Restoran Public...

8pm - Kota Tinggi Firefly Park River Cruise!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhh.... it's considered a major highlight because there were kids in our tour group who probably waited the whole day for this. I watched fireflies before somewhere in Singapore when I was real young so I only had an extremely faint memory.... I only remembered they were like orange colours one.

Anyhow, Seb was screaming I think, and we grabbed our life jackets AND......

So I was the usual one screaming for pictures after wearing our safety life jackets before rushing down to catch the river cruise with the rest of our tour group........ I must be too tired so I tried to keep myself awake that way lol.. and I got reminded of the roller coaster horror when Seb fastened my life jacket so tightly LOL

On our slow river cruise ride..... no music no nothing... just silence and everyone's trying to look out for the fireflies... LOL.... but everything's pretty dark throughout.

Watching the waters in pitch dark........ ahhhh so much difference from the beautiful and vast view cruise I had..... haha...... I just am too fussy. Like this cannot, like that also cannot, why I make my life so difficult LOL bth myself.

Throughout the 45 minute boat ride, I couldn't capture those fireflies with limited camera quality. They felt like white blinking lights amongst black trees to me. I was expecting lots of them to fly around so I could catch... but nope... only one flew by and nobody managed to grab hold of it LOL

The driver kind of stopped the boat for a while and used his huge torchlight to shine on a monkey on top of a tree at one point in time. That seemed to be the only mini surprise I felt O_o

As usual, I self-entertained to kill the slight boredom.

And ta dah.... our lok kok boat ride ended and we made our way back! I rate it 3/5. I was more excited for a surprise activity - Sky Lantern!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It wasn't mentioned in our Desaru Trip tour itinerary so I thought it was a good surprise.

Advanced Merry Christmas everyone! All of us shared a pink sky lantern together :) Hehh teamwork people, teamwork....

Seb rushed for a table afterwards and...............

Then we actually paused to think for a while what to write and I'm soooooo proud of myself for writing pretty neatly =P Hehhhhh..... Seb was saying must fill it up and so everyone took turns to just write and write...

May everybody's wishes come true ^^

And offfff we gooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! CHIONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG AHHHHHHHHHHHH

Awww awww felt like hot air balloon. LOL.... thanks whichever kind soul who stood down to help us light it up :)

We were told to hold it for two minutes..... I was actually quite calm while holding probably cos I super tired already... then I heard Seb was like "2 minutes already or not?" LOL......... so funny..... I think I was like "HOLD ZU HOLD ZU...." I faintly remembered hpy said something along the line of it's not 2 minutes yet... and xt was pretty quiet from what I could recall.

Flyyyyyyyy awaaaayyyy~

Our eyes tried to follow the trail of our sky lantern until it flew higher and higher and higher and grew smaller and smaller and smaller to us..........

I guessed everyone stood around to keep a lookout for their sky lanterns too. Haha.

And we took their version of neoprints... hmm.

Goooooodddbye my very first flown sky lantern... thanks for the memorable experience :') HUAT AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rating: 4/5!

Time Check: 9pm++... was it raining on the way home? I suddenly found such pictures in Seb's hp. LOL?

Now on the way back to reality SG = JAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL. Sickening.

After clearing Malaysia's custom..............

Hopped onto our dedicated bus again for more JAM towards Singapore. 10pm++ liao D:

Remember the FREE packet of fruits that's included in the Desaru Fruit Farm Tour Package?

Here I'm FINALLY having the time to eat it after an extremely draining day....... It's my first time eating so many different types of fruits - starfruit, jackfruit, watermelon, papaya, mini banana, honeydew, passionfruit, guava AND weird fruits that I have no clue of.... many of which I never tried in my life!

AND FINALLY in the blink of an eye, the whole drama of a day trip's gone. Back to Singapore......... with my dearest dad already waiting at the carpark to pick my friends and I home..... :')

And I would like to say one last point - I LOVE SINGAPORE. LOL. I hope you enjoyed my virtual Desaru Trip Experience!
