Nature in city Singapore.

Spider web, with a golden and glistening reflection of the morning sun.

Entrance of Sungei Buloh.

These spiders you see here are huge okay. They spanned the size of my palm. Female and male spiders here dancing their dance of death.

Very exotic bird species - Purple Heron at Sungei Buloh





Opposite the shore - Johore. The man was fishing.






Some Malay woman took these from the sea. I think they are mussels. Apparently they are very fresh. This was after my field trip to Sungei. I did not follow my classmates back to NUS. Instead, I ventured on my own around this area just to explore haha.. Anyway, I acted as intepreter ltr, when an old woman got interested in purchasing these mussels. She spoke in Hokkien/Chinese and I translated what she said to the Malay woman in English. Haha. Interesting. Anw, 1 bag of mussles cost $5. Any takers?





Kranji Beach Battle Site - the first landing spot of the Japanese in 1942. Now the area has transformed drastically. No signs that a battle was once fought on these shores. Instead, creepy playgrounds surround the area. I can only imagine what goes on here, at night. Soldiers parading on coloured swings and animal rides.


Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve. Beautiful.



A bunch of army officers were stationed here. Apparently, they were there to apprehend Mas Selemat. Just in case, or so they say. What a perfect waste of time. Do you think Mas Selemat would be THAT dumb to swim past? haha. Anw, that's a kelong in the background.




Beautiful skies.




Quiet, unending solitude.


This little fella was basking in the sun, to get his body temperatures up.


The mangroves and their propped roots.



The river, Sungei sth.





The meandering river that courses through the thickest of forestry, just to meet once again with the open sea.
