Weekend Happenings!

Back to nature
It felt good to look forward to a hike again. Arranged with Jeya to pick him up at 6am and head for Sg. Tekala forest reserve to release a retic i had bought from orang asli who lived nearby. Didn't hear my alarm and woke only to Jeya's phone call at 6:18am. Sorry bro... Hey, it's not like me to be late for anything, ask him. Anyways, here are some shots from our morning out.


Baby cricket on a leaf... we saw a tiny frog too but he was a little too shy of the camera...


Yes, we took some time to appreciate some fauna and flora...


When we found a suitable spot to release the retic, she wasn't keen to leave the comfort of the pillow case (yes, cheryl found out about the pillow case :P)


Had to force her out and off she went, so silently...


We came across this lost sole while crossing the river... a poignant reminder of lost souls and crossing rivers...


It was way to early for a dip in the river...


We were very pleasantly surprised at the level of cleanliness. There must have been a big cleanup sometime recently, hardly a piece of rubbish in sight...


Let's hope it stays this way!


As the sun comes up, skinks come out to bask. This guy let me come quite close for a few good shots...


Sun rays and the adventurer!


Bloc tries rambutans...


Cheryl took this pic of me trying to feed bloc half a rambutan. After slobbering all over my hand, the half rambutan was still there!


Tired after a busy morning, i caught a nap while Cheryl caught bloc doing like his master :D


First accident :(



There goes all desires to keep my new car accident free. Careless bloke rushing out of a junction fails to look left and ploughs his vitara into my car eventhough i am honking for all i'm worth. Thankfully, he misses my headlights and any metal parts. (Thankfully for him!) Anyway, he's a pretty decent guy, i think and will meet me in Perodua tomorrow to find out how much it'd cost to spray. I could demand for a new bumper (RM376.20) and paint (RM180) plus labour (RM40), but don't wanna be difficult. Once in a while we need reminders that a car is a car...
