that's the proboscis monkey.
this two ropes are for the monkeys and orang-utans to get across the river bank, cos they cant swim.
the beautiful sunset
at night, we went for a night river cruise. the sky is very clear, and we saw the stars and the moon, shining very brightly. it was simply magnificient. we saw a few animals too. suhairi, our guide, has very good eyesight. he has this wonderful ability of spotting animals in the dark. of course he has a strong torch to help him, but he always spot the animals first. we saw kingfisher. the birds are very beautiful. their feathers are blue, and they have a yellow belly. we also saw owls and monkeys. we din bring our camera, because we thought that we are unable to take good pictures in the dark. but the light from the torch is very strong, and we were so close to the kingfisher to the extent that i can actually touch it, because the kingfisher is sleeping. aiyah wat a waste! =(
for day 3, we went jungle trekking. suhairi was our guide again. he was covered from head to toe. deyang also. the two girls and i had minimal protection. i am the most garang one. or should i say the most stupid. i wore singlet, shorts, and sandals! wow. so it comes to no surprise that i kenna lots of mosquito bites.
the entrance of a cave
cave rocks with traces of erosion by the rain
chilli plant found at the entrace of the cave
when we walk into the jungle, it just stopped raining. so suhairi told us that we may not see any animals, because animals dun like to come out after a heavy downpour. i think it goes the same for us humans too. then one hour later, it started raining again. luckily the trees provided natural cover for us. otherwise we will be drenched to the max.
we really din see any animals. the only animals that we saw were insects, such as mosquitoes, millipedes and leeches. yucks i hate leeches! a big leech stick itself onto my shorts. at the groin area some more. and it was climbing its way up to my stomach. i was so freaked out. luckily meishan came and remove the leech. wat a scary experience.
and the most disgusting thing is that there is a leech on my foot for quite some time and i din realise it. only when we finished the jungle trekking, and when i remove my sandals and cleaning my feet inside the river, all the mud stains were washed away, then i saw something on my foot. and i discovered its a very small bloody leech! arrghhhhh! dunno it has sucked how much of my blood. arlene also discovered two leeches on her body when she went to bathe. omg.
the fuji camera that i am using is very lousy when taking night shots. the pictures always dun come out very clear. and its like there are ghosts in the picture. scroll down and you will noe wat i mean.
