Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve

Woke up early today for one of the events organised by my bank's Recreation Club. Off to Sungei Buloh we go! I've only been there but it was a long time ago....

It looked to be a good day to visit the reserve. Sunny, not too hot and din look like it was going to rain like how these few days were....

First off, we were divided into 2 groups where we were brought around the mangrove area via a boardwalk route and we had a nice, chirpy guide to introduce to us the mangrove and wonders behind it. Rare chance for a city boy like me to see monitor lizards, tree climbing crabs, huge spiders, horseshoe crabs, a collared kingfisher up close, you know? :P

After that, we rested for lunch and carried on a treasure-hunt style activity where we had to explore the reserve to find answers to 27 questions. Good way to have you explore and admire the flora and fauna available in the mangrove habitat. It got a tad too hot later but didn't deter our trek at all~

In the end, my team (Me, Tun Naung, Mary (Tun Naung's girlfriend), Lu Xin, Xiaoting (Lu Xin's friend) won 4th price with a score of 24/27. Got a bundle of Toberone 1 by 1 chocs for that. Not bad eh?

Fortunately, after the last photo was taken outside the reserve, it began to pour! Lucky us~

Anyway, here are some choice pics and the link to the whole album below so enjoy~
