That time when I was too bored in office, I searched for Nature Reserves in Singapore. Sungei Buloh was an idea place for me and dear to visit. We both like this kind of thing, especially him.

It wasn’t a bad idea, isolating ourselves from the busy city and get into a place where animals and nature surround you. It is very refreshing, other than the mozzies’ bite I have gotten. The excitement you get when the family of animals start running in front of you. I would say it is even better than the zoo.
Entry fee of Sungei Buloh is only at $1 per adult. It is totally worthwhile just to be able to see otters running in the wild. Try it! (Regrettably, I have got none of the otters’ photo as they were too fast and my camera is too slow.







































Camera I used for these is my 1 year old compact camera, Fujifilm HD2800. Actually, I am quite happy with the result of the camera. I won’t say it is excellent, but I think this is the most I can ask from my camera. I am looking forward to getting a new DSLR camera (Nikon D3200 with an additional purchase of Nikkor DX lens 55-200mm) around next month. Nikon D3200 was only announced a couple of weeks ago, hopefully it arrive soon. I will be bringing over to Poland in September for the World Championship. I am so excited!

I wish I had a long holiday, but neither my work nor financial allowed. I took a 12 hours journey to Redang Island. A pretty scary ride. I set off from Singapore at 10 pm and reached there around 10 am?

I have no idea if taking the bus ride in the night was a good choice. Well, we didn’t have much choice either as we needed to rushed for ferry that only has two intervals each day (morning and afternoon). I felt the bus moving at very high speed. If I am not wrong, the bus driver even fall asleep while driving, it adjusted back to the lane in a sudden turn of the steering wheel! We even got into an accident in the morning when we were reaching the jetty. The motorcyclist had quite a big patch of abrasion on his back and face. Luckily nothing serious.

With the experience of snorkeling, it suddenly reminds me of the reason why I do not wish to go for a diving certificate. Just imagine, snorkeling has already made me feel suffocating and pressurizing, how about diving 10m or so down into the sea. I will panic and my lungs would burst.

We were quite scared whenever we snorkeled near the corals/ rocks and to the darker and deeper part of the sea. We can’t see what was ahead. And I swear, the fishes are humongous .

All in all, it was good. Although this trip will be much better with a bigger group of people, but I still had a lot of fun snorkeling with my dear dear. We were holding hands while snorkeling. It felt like a whole new experience of “strolling in a park”.

I have no idea when will my next trip be as I am broke from my school. So let’s just pray that I accidentally pick up a $10,000 note!
