PD Power Plant trip

Wasn't in my best during the visit to Port Dickson today. But still had to drag my spinning head and running nose with me to this much anticipated trip.

Reached The Port Dickson Power Bhd plant at around 10.30 am, being welcomed by a security guard with his 'long' speech starting with 'Selamat Datang semua...' and ending with '...selamat datang.' (Basically that's about what we heard.)

Phoenix and I in cute white helmets! Funny~
And if you wonder why this alien was wearing a jacket while the others were sweating like hell, it was because I was sick! I did feel warm though, hehe~

all smiles~

Next stop is the Armed Forces Museum. Spent only about an hour there. Wasn't as interesting as expected, but was worth it. And it was thrilling to play and climb into the tanks!! And dear me, some of the tanks are AUTO-geared!! And basically we climbed on anything that can be climbed~ coz they are all real and HUGE!!
