Was sick last week since the day i went to catch Phantom of the Opera. The set was really good. World class performance! But I heard in London where they did another show, the chandelier was even more dramatic in that it will make noise as it 'swoops' down audience's heads. Real cool eh? Sent my parents off at the airport on Monday. On MC all that..caught the flu actually and i wasn't fully recovered until last Thursday..Was real bad..had loads of marking to do and there i was coughing away..
Anyway, went to my 'first-i-think' nature walk at Pulau Semakau yesterday. Was there at Marina South Pier at 6.35 am. Just nice to catch the boat when i reached. My uncle was driving at 120km/h wooohoo...cuz we were getting late. The walk was real good. I learnt a lot about inter-tidal creatures. Will post the pics i managed to capture. I just feel the need to beef up my Science knowledge now that I'm gonna be full time soon. Must constantly upgrade ourselves. Like the hermit crab, upgrading houses when it gets too big for the current house.Haha..4-room to 5-room.
Looking forward to my next nature walk! I've added my friend who is a volunteer guide from an organisation (cant remember which)'s blog. He has more facts on the creatures we spotted on the walk.
(top left): The spider conch. Remember seeing them off the shelves when you holiday in some beach places? Yeah, thats the same one! I actually have a video of it moving! Oh yeah, this naughty lil thing actually came out from its shell giving all of us a scare. It didnt like being overturned for too long a time and wanted to be on its way!
(top right): Soaked feet, smiling faces, blue sky and blue sea! I so wanted to swim!!
We had to walk across the seagrass meadow. (below): Haliah is posing with her Taktse team shirt. I respect her loyalty! Haha..
(below): The scallop The upside down jellyfish as seen above. Also have a video of it moving as well.
(left): The sea anemoniemonie (as said by Nemo)
(below): Haliah again posing against the backdrop of blue sky and blue sea! Is this Singapore you say?
Highlite of the walk!: The Knobbly sea star below is as heavy as a 500g of sugar according to what Haliah said. Darn huge! My team and I below.
The underside of the sea star. See how huge it is!
The rare heart-shaped cockle.
Let's play spot the crab!
Qiyue holding the sea slug that left behind a trail of poop. Too stressed!
Haliah and sea cucumber. This cute sea cucumber actually sprouts out water when stressed, through one of its 'holes' . When super stressed, it'll vomit its guts out. And they'll die from this.
The seagrass that we had to walk across.
Walking to the forest trail that leads to the place where we were going for our inter-tidal walk.
Country road, take me home!
Before the sunrise. Missed it cause i needed to go to the loo...Darn!!
Cotton candy anyone?
More facts and pictures on the creatures in my friend's (Qi Yue aka July) blog. Check it out if you're interested. Real beneficial!
