Busy Sunday!!

We went to Sungai Burung as planned. Woke up at 4am and went to Dr C's house at 445am. As expected Metis was late!! And we actually left Dr C's house and meet him at the junction!!! Ha Ha Ha now he knows when the old man said 5am it means 5am!!


Met Andery on the simpang of his house. Just found out his house is so closed to Sungai Burung. and because he didn't explain to Dr C where exactly he stayed all this while, he got scolded too.. he he he. Metis was so happy as this was one of the rare chances of Andery getting reprimand by a lecturer.. sick man la that metis-son..


We reached Sungai Burung at 6am and it was raining quite heavily and i thought oh SHIT don't tell me I woke up so early for nothing!!! But no worries everything was perfect, the sky turns nice and bright and we managed to spot quite few species of birds and mammals..

I was so relaxed because of the trip!! I am so happy!! I love birdwatching!!! I love seeing all the pretty birds and their funny coordinated colours!!! I just love nature!!!


After the trip, the boys went back to Dr C's house for rest and preparation for afternoon outing. I went bought burgers for my parents, then home to rest and doll up..


So what's our plan for the afternoon le? HARI RAYA OPEN HOUSE! Dr C and myself were invited by Dato Hamdillah, and I extended the invitations to some of the lanjak volunteers. So we all met up, had lunch then off we went to his house..


I had great fun entertaining myself and whinning to Dr C that i want to go home and sleep.. ah i woke up at 4 am ok!! So i am entitled to whin!! So Cath and Met stop giving me the dirty looks!! no eyes to see ah..


It always feels good to hear praises, but I get very shy one le.. But thanks for your confidence in my ability.. he he he
