Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve

First official day of school holiday... Weifang, Suyi and I met at 7.30 at Kranji Mrt to go explore sungei buloh... The weather was fine for walking...

so...we reached the entrance of the reserve at 8am... after a little jam along the way...

.........and tada!!! we are the early birds!

We got to get into the reserve FOC! usually, it costs $1 for adults, entrance after 8.30am...


....Bright red insect living in a school.... this one is not cross-backed... saw another school of cross-backed red insects hiding in between two leaves....


Watch It!!!

And I got a shock of my life when I saw this:

monitor lizard XXL size sun-bathing right in front of me!


Because we were so early, there were more staffs than us at the reserve...we also had to resort to taking group photo ourself! Luckily, I have got long enough hands!


enjoying our meal at last in the afternoon at Wetland Cafe... their fish'n'chips & chicken chop is highly recommended!
