last week

still thinking about the field trip last weekend. the ecology field trip. finally had the chance to sit down, go through all the photos and post them up. the trip was quite ok..but the mosquitoes were TERRIFYING. they came in SWAMPS. BIG SWAMPS. all these years the condition has never been so bad before. i guess it was just because of the rain....just our luck. started to love my camera more..can zoom all the way to take the pictures of the lovely birds :) and i realise the significance of a tripod..especially for bird shooting. my hands are already not very steady, plus they were so tired after carrying all the meters to the various sites, they just trembled horribly on the second morning when i was trying to shoot the birds. but seriously, i have no complains for the workload, because all the other 3 helpers around were all guys. they worked so much harder than me (well at least for 2 of them, the other one i dont know...). thank god that they were around

some pictures...more on facebook

the monkey on the bird watching tower that i went on the first morning

wanted to take the long shadow caused by the sunshine..failed attempt

bye..

at the entrance of the mangrove

beauty by the lake

great egret?

was quite busy at the mangrove..helping the students who got stucked in the mangrove mud, measuring this and that..finally reached the last site which was at the end of the mangrove. the sky was so so blue that i just had to take a shot of it before i left, eventhough my hands were covered with mud. only had time to take one shot though..just one shot

went up to Bukit Melawati for the sunset again...but there was nothing much to watch. thanks to the rain. so sad..

lovely couple

had to leave the hill because of the rain. haihz..

second morning at the bird watching tower

nice sunrise

little monkeys playing on the tree

great weather at the Gombak forest

the remaining of the 300-year-old tree that fell down..due to old age. in the past we were always amazed by its height, its huge trunk, its age...and now..thats it..

my supervisor Dr Cathy, and my labmate Tse Yuen

after the field trip..life carries on, despite all the tiredness, sore, whatever. emotinally very unstable..stressed because of the invetebrate identification, tired because of the field trips, plus the thesis..JUST CRAZY. hopefully next week will be a better week, seriously hope so
