after the rain.

rainy morning today preceeded our sungei buloh trip. was a bit depressing watching the dark clouds looming all over outside. and singapore quite small la, so if gloomy in east, chances are, probably gonna rain in kranji too. first time kloggin about a day’s event. i usually blog about nonsensical stuff.

anyway, the weather sort of held out and we were met with only a sight drizzle at sungei buloh. unfortunately, the bus service doesn’t go all the way to the main entrance unless it’s sunday, so we had to walk 1.5km in. thankfully floggie appeared and gave us a lift for the next few meters. i never knew you could squeeze 10 people in a car. i thought that only happened in indonesia or something. 5 people on a vespa. i think it looks more cramped from the front. peter has a better pix.

i’m more used to spotting marine creatures, but we did see some cool bugs today. i’m not including the pix of that gigantic moth that was sneering at me from the low-hanging branches of the tree.
the visitor centre has some fairly interesting taxidermized birds and a sign telling the public that in the light of the recent bird flu outbreak, it’s still very safe to visit places with birds such as jurong bird park or sungei buloh. you’d only catch bird flu if an infected bird sneezes or coughs in your path. so watch out f
