| My last day of 2007 was spent on the streets of Manhattan,
Following trolleys to go around the big city,
the typical tourist style...
I'd seen the Empire State Building,
Struggling to uplift my head,
impressed by this skyscraper,
I'd seen the World Trade Center,
in reverence,
felt the people's pain and my heart goes for them,
I'd seen the Statue of Liberty,
Suppressing my excitement,
I asked a stranger to take photos for me...
Our last dinner of '07 was settled in a Thai Restaurant,
a New Year Eve dinner of $14.99.
And we managed to take a photo with NYPD cops,
And I took that as an extra,
Squeezing into Times Square was next to impossible,
And so we decided to go back to hotel...
perhaps the best was to celebrate the last day of 2007 is with family,
Eating cakes and reminiscing the blessings we had in the past...
2007 had been a year of happening to me,
A level, PKN, Hull University, this trip,
although they came so swift that I didn't manage to get a good grasp on them,
the memories are precious and irreplaceable...
Before closing the dorm of 2007 and revealing the surprise of 2008,
I wish the world a more peaceful and better place to live,
With one more helping hand, there's one more warmth in one's heart.
My best wishes and love go to my family, friends and all my love ones,
Not forgetting, myself...

The one i like the most would be Kilimanjaro Safaris where you sit in a huge truck and visit the natural habitat of many wild animals.
We get to see giraffes, hippos, crocs, lions, elephants, rhinos, tortoises, and mny other weird animals that i dont even know what are their names, there's one that was so-called the relative of giraffe, with black body trunk and zebra-like strips, is that amazing or wht!
And since we're left with plenty of time, we went back to watch the Finding Nemo Musical Show again,
but we all ended up sleeping inside...XD...sory disney!
Yeap, so that basically describes the day, I gues for a very long while, i'll not be having the urge to go to Disney or any theme park again,
cuz for now, my brain is so stuffed with all of those!

After Disney's Animal Kingdom, we went to Seaworld.
The day didnt started off well,
my mom's ticket had some faulty and it took us some time before all of us finally got thru the ticket checkpoint.
I love Seaworld alot because there are a lot of rare animals that we couldnt usually see.
The first thing we saw were the sea turtles.
Those turtles were mostly injured or lost one fin and were rescued by the Seaworld team.
and then there were the stingrays, nothing special really for this one, they were kindda small,
and they reminds me of the 铁板烧鱼..XD
after that we went to the dolphin area, there were many dolphins,
big ones, small ones, old ones, young ones, love them all!
One good thing about Sea World is that there are underwater viewing area
where u can see the animals in their underwater habitat!
And then there were manatees, they were all so cute and adorable!!!
Their huge body and the fan-like tail plus their slow and temperate motion,
u just cant resist from loving them!!!
Other animals that we saw includes penguins, sharks (all sorts of sharks in a underwater tunnel, totally cool dude!)
and killer whales!!!
I love killer whales!! Madly in love with them,
we went to the Shamu Stadium to watch their performance
and there's only one word to describe this amazing creature--- BREATHTAKING!!!
and the theme of the performance is BELIEVE, which was so touching that words just cant simply describe it,
you gotta be on the scene to understand what I'm talking about,
the message of believing in yourself and the power it can bring,
the whole atmosphere was just way too touching that i swear tears were just at the brink of falling down!
And then we went to the Sea Lion and Otter show, which was so funny and there was a part where the performer was suppose to interact with the seal but the seal just went directly to the next scene,
that made me almost laugh off my bench!! XD exhilarating!
after that we went back to the Shamu Stadium for the highlight of the day,
and again touching touching touching!!!! It;s the killer whale show again and it is related to BELIEVE as well, but this time, it talks abt believing in each other, believing in the world,d believing in other races, believing in what we can do to rescue the endangered animals, love it!
and when the some WHEN YOU BELIEVE by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston came out, t
it was so grant and impressive, I'm sure i wont forget it for my entire life!

As mentioned, we went to Disney Animal Kingdom.
The main landmark of Animal Kingdom is the Tree of Life.
It's a massive, huge, gigantic, enormous tree with the diameter that is capable of fitting in a theater, imagine tat!
The tree's bark is engraved with all sorts of animals and birds,
and I didnt even realize that i was in the middle of the tree during the show 'It's Tough to be A Bug' in that theater,
not until I got out from the theater that I realize that! lolz
That day was kindda cold and we didnt manage to attempt any water-related activity,
as we might get wet and it's not an enjoyable thing to get wet in a cold day...
And we sort off missed out quite a few events because we didnt have the schedule of all the events,
but the park was mostly realated to conservation of environment,
embrace the nature, how to share your backyard with animals and other stuffs like that,
and as someone like me who is not as great and as loving as Mr. Walt Disney,
it's way too educational...XD
but i do find great deal of enjoyment in watching wild animals like tigers, cranes, apes, etc.
The thing about this theme park is that there's no climax show in the end unlike Magic Kingdom and MGM studio,
and although it was stated there that the park closes at 6, most of the stuffs in the park already closed around 4.30pm,
and they had a 'GOOD' reason for that, 'as sun sets earlier during this period, most of the things close earlier'
yea rite...-_-'
i was like DUHHHH, then why dont you just tell us that the whole park closes at 4.30pm??
but anyway, there are still things to appreciate for apart from all that,
the parade was nice, as imagined, the zoo inside was amazing, (it's the first time ever that I see tiger this close, like, THIS CLOSE! lolX) and the workers inside were helpful and friendly, (they're suppose to! XD)
