during our visit to bako national park in february 2011, one of the highlights was the sighting of proboscis monkeys, an endemic species only found in borneo. our first day was a letdown as our only zoological encounters were the macaques and the wild boars. however, on our 2nd and final day, while waiting for our boatman, we came across this male and his harem next to the cafetaria. he half-heartedly acknowledged our presence by giving this pose.

the location:

other than tembusu trees, kapur trees are my favourite in malaysia. they are usually confined to the east coast from terengganu to johor except for a few patches of forests in selangor. taken at noon in october 2009, these kapur trees (which have fine conical crown when they are young) were captured from the entrance to taman komanwel, facing northwest towards rawang, near templer’s park in selangor.

another pleasure hunt of some sort, organised way back in late 2010 came fruitful yesterday when 13 of my work colleagues took the day off from work and joined in our excursion to explore pulau intan, at the southern tip of tanjung tuan (formerly known as cape rachado) in melaka. we had to walk 1 km through dipterocarp forest before reaching the lighthouse and descended on a 300m steep track to reach the secluded beach, famous for its razor sharp rocks and rare green schist granite. and i also learned that i need to send my dslr for cleaning service. noon march 2011.
