bad weather..

wah lao.. everytime my field trip will end up raining.. this time round no exception either..

first thing in the morning, i overslept.. damn.. couldn't even hear my phone alarm beeping away, same goes for the numerous calls biyun and huiyan made.. arghh..

never mind.. went there and reached sungei buloh.. the reception there was real bad, made many calls and sms to both the gals.. but no replies.. so i waited around the lobby area, see what notes i can make/copy from there.. and then all those noisy aunties who were there for their own excursion were making a din manz.. hello??? you are supposed to keep the volume down in the nature reserve!!! they even cut my queue when i was in the toilet!! what the hell..

and then it started raining.. raining non-stop.. we can't get out to do any observations, so we were stuck in the lobby.. the only thing we could do was to have our lunch (it's expensive, by the way) and read some of the magazines and books provided in the resource/reading area..

and we waited till 4pm and the rain was still pouring.. and heck, we walked out of the place and walked the nature trail, trying to see what we could do.. so umbrellas out, but still got wet.. then we went down to the muddy mangrove to do a bit of measurements and picture-taking.. having to take the umbrella and camera and papers was a hassle, me and biyun ended up walking in the rain.. i only had my hat to block some rain out of my sight, but biyun was totally drenched.. but heck..

so in the end i didn't get to do anything related to the topic i planned to do.. *grrrr* now i have to find another day to go there again.. who's interested?? this time round, i'm going to the kranji reservoir to get into the mud..
