well, its kinda cool to b out of the house at tt kinda odd hour (2.30am) :p
but it feels v v v odd la....
meet gun kiat at the bus stop, cos he driving me n li yuan there
THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH!!! :D

to get a full picture of the whole trip, visit kok sheng's blog God's Wonderful Creation
and gun kiat's blog gunz reflections

6 of us turn up... me, gerald, gun kiat, kaihrul, kok sheng, li yuan.
thanks Ria for making this trip possible!!!

we took tis bumboat to Pulau Sekudu, aka frog island
reach at 0400 *normally i would be in la la land le..*
its almost pitch black there, and we had to squint/screen thorugh e darkness with our torch to see the organisms living there

and my torch is like dim can... cant see much with it, except to see e way so i wun fall
all description from top-left... clockwise

carpet anemone: tis is only one tt i took a pic of... got some in purple somemore. there are tons of it there!!! gerald dun particularly like it cos it is slimy, and its so tiring to avoid stepping on them-- cos there is so many
sea anemone: the normal one with those tentacles *kinda orangey-fluorescence-coloured*. saw quite a few...
sea hare: tts my first time seeing this *grinz*... well, its super slimy and gooey, similar to a slug. its green in colour, so easily missed it if not observant =x
sea urchin: the pokey pokey thing actually move and is kinda flexible... but if u lightly disturb it, it will turn all hard n stiff. theres A LOT of these around too!! be careful dun touch it with your hand, cos e 'sting' can b pretty unbearable
sea star: its so cool to see a living one (instead of those in RMBR)!!! haha... kaihrul lift it up and place it on my palm... and tt thing started to MOVE. I was so so so shocked, cos i dun quite like e feel of it--v ticklish and prickly :p
a shellfish: not a v clear pic...
crab: tink is called flower crab... theres a lot of crab scrambling around tt place
shellfish: dunno its name... i tink u can find this in restaurant. but, this is pretty huge, size of an ipod-mini...

crab:another crab...
goby fish: tis fish is very well camouflaged with e sand! its pretty cute... cos if u disturb it, it will pretend to b like a rock and dun move... if u disturb it longer, it will feel irritated and swim away quickly :p
bristle star: so nice to see a live bristle star!!! its arms is very flexible and long, it can use it to move around easily :D
crab: yet another crab....

a hermit crab: it was initially semi-out of e shell,but when i turn it over, it went back in le...
sea anemone: another version of those in front
crab: tis crab was found snugly hidden in tis nicely made burrow which seems to b a mound of sand from afar... pro!!
crab: tis crab is super fierce... the red colouration on its shell actually means "Beware"
well.... I had a great and enjoyable trip!!! but was so so so super tired and beat at e end of it... end up sleeping at home for e whole day =x
