Merdeka!

Been very hectic lately, ugh.... Merdeka tomorrow! yay! happy cuz it's holiday! I have a lot of assignments to be done but too lazy to do it. Oh, good news is that my Aussie friend is coming to Terengganu this Oct, very happy about it! This is going to be the 3rd time we meet this year, haha... interesting indeed, of how often we can actually meet, that's the price of long distance friendship :) I guess everyone who is reading my blog knows that I am single now, read my ex's blog and apparently he was having fun with his gf, I'm happy to know that :) At least he found someone better, I'm still single, so IF there is any interesting creatures out there that you find disturbing or boring, you all can always "divert" him to me, haha... Happy Independence Day, Malaysians! "Yang tinggal dekat luar negara tu janganlah lupa kat tanah air tercinta ni, jangan mengkhianat!" haha.... for those who can't understand Malay, basically the phrase means something like to those who stays oversea, always remember our country and don't betray it, haha... Especially to nalsuj, yeah? and Uncle Henry, soonish!

Lifer!

Happy happy joy joy! saw some lifers for the last 2 days! lifer means new species that i had never seen b4, very nice. one of them was Black-shouldered Kite, very Elegant! also the Oriental Piep Hornbills, common koel and common sandpipers( migratory birds), also the lovely malkoha! and i couldnt identify one of the migratory birds, i am pretty sure it's some kind of plover, but not sure which species.... Pretty happy with my life now, at least i have something to look forward to, which i can (hopefully) practice for the rest of my life, hehe.... you know what kind of person i am, i can get bored easily :)

I'm back!!

Hey all! How's everyone? I'm doing okay here, just had wildlife management test, ugh... not bad considering howI started to read the notes an hour b4 test :) So, I'm back from Sekayu and Kuala Selangor Nature Park, I really enjoyed! Sekayu....I was there for 3 days, I had to lead the bird's group, we were doing 14 different kind of assignments, such as small mammals, birds, bats, fishes, herpetofauna,vegetations, insects, it was really nice. We used the mist-net to catch the birds and bats. They are cute, seriously! I didn't think that I would have guts to touch the bats, let alone release them from the mist net :) caught about 17 birds, 13 species! Nature park was nice! food was great, course was great, people was great! I was a beginner but they didn't underestimate me, they helped a lot :) got free book(birds) and tshirt, of course the most important thing, experiences :) Glad to meet 2 nice danish, I pretty like one of them, hehe... Now I am considering to stay in peninsular malaysia, not sure really....

Excited!

So, I guess this will be the last blog for the next two weeks, I suppose. Going to FINALLY finish my proposal, which should not be much trouble with it. Then on sunday I'll be off to Setiu Wetland, looking forward to it :) My friend's going to do her final year project's sampling there, so why not I join, since nothing much happening here. Then on tuesday I'll be off to Sekayu, it's like recreation park with waterfall, should be nice too. Going to net some birds, bats. also small mammals, fish etc, and flora too. Thennnnnn, kuala selangor nature park, which I have been looking forward to go to for a long time :) wish me luck, I shall come back in one piece and tell you all about it. I don't care whether you want to read or not but I'll type anyway, hehe....take care!
