Saving the butterflies

A caterpillar tt I saved by chance feeding on my mum's lime tree.. very curious wad the caterpillar will turn out to be.. My mum was terrified of caterpillars so kind Jon helped to take care of the caterpillars. Thks.. Under Jon's tender loving care.. the caterpillar became a pupa and became this big beautiful butterfly.. here's the pupa.. Well tentatively I got like 2 same caterpillars, still rearing them at home. will be posting up the caterpillar pic up soon.. any idea what butterfly this is.

Interestingly.,. the caterpillar has 2 fake eyes at the side.. on top of that it's green - good for camouflage... and when provoked.. it will shoot out these snail like antannae.. which gives off a putrid decaying lime smell.. ewww.... smelt it.. definitely yucks..

Long Awaited Trip to the Land Below the Wind

OK the long wait for the trip was worth it man! The sights and sounds of the place was much better then Singapore and the people I met there were nicer then here.( Way way Nicer).

Ok so you can see the three pictures rite? Thats where we stayed for the first nite. The original place had no water so yup the guy helped us to find the place for the nite. We all were in a pick up truck, I was standing up on the back it was super fun and yet scary as u might fall off and get run over by a car!

So the place we stayed was like to me a normal school type camp environment. The gals stayed together in 1 room, while me and Willy stayed in a seperate room.The place itself was quite huge.We were not the only guest there there were other teenage people there too.As soon as we got settled in we decieded to go Xploring. We went for a walk around and outside the area to see what we could see. It feels like i am in some ulu part of singapore or mixture of Pulau Ubin there were kampung houses to the left side of the road. Btw there are doggies too. We walk past the most awfully smelling trash area, it smells like some decomposing stuffs. The area itself is very very green and full of life everywhere. As soon as we left the compound we saw king fishers, hornbills and the " RARE ENDANGERED MALAYSIAN SPARROW". We went to look at the Orang Utan place but it was closed.

By now we were very Hungry people. And we all know nobody likes a hungry person!! So we headed back to the place for makan. Hmmmm what to eat nobody knows yet. So we decided to order lots of stuff. We had chicken in black sauce, pork in i duno what, asam prawns, fish in black sauce and of cos the very famous JUNGLE FERN. Now i bet you guys are wondering why the hell we ate that and we must be mad..... NOT it was quite good so much so we ordered a second plate of it Wahaha. Me thinks it Verons favorite. To me it taste like kang kong haha...... After all the jungle ferning we decided to get change and shower( but yours truely din take a bath). While they were showering i met a friend outside. Would u guy like to see this friend of mine?

TADA everybody meet Bob!! Cute dog i met while nite Xploring the place. He was the only dog GUNG HO enough to have approached me.

His daddy is Bobby. Btw i named them so yup haha they had no names until i came along. I must say though the place at nite is kinda creepy if you walk around at night.

Everybody who was there has met my doggie friend. So after they had showered and smelled nice and fresh while i still did not smell at all just for your information. We played UNO haha PHEW we have some entertainment for the nite UNOing a lot of strange rules that i never heard before 1, for example intercept but i kept on saying interrupt so i get another 2 cards when i say that. Kinda sad don't you think? After intercepting like mad and all we all decided to turn in for the nite. But before we did that we chit chated outside for awhile until it started to drizzle, well that was the sign to sleep. It poured that night and i slept like only for 3hrs or so and we slept i think at 11pm thats way too early for me. then around at 1 am i was awoken by some strange noise inside the room. So I decided to keep quite and listen and guess what i found out making that noise...............................WILLY. Haha he was talking in his sleep and boy can he sleep man within 15mins of touching the bed he was asleep man. As for me i was tossing and turning and kept on thinking i would see Pontianak outside my window man.....Well the morn came was a pleasant welcome to me. Willy and me headed down for breaky!

We had toast with butter and BANANA JAM. Banana jam ewwwww?? NOOOOO its nice very nice they make it themselves there mixture of banana and pineapple mmmmm taste great hehe. Well as usual the gals took longer to come down for breakfast haha. We were off to the Orang Utan Reserve. You must be wondering why i did not take a picture of the apes well the charge you for your camera and the place was soooooo NOT good. It was like being at the Singapore Zoo i thought that it would be really wild Orang Utans not semi wild! Wasted money man, place is developing at a very slow pace. Instead of watching the feedings and all Ippy, Sharon and I was finding other animals/insects in the place for example the JON'S RARE BLUE/BLACK BUTTERFLY haha. I feel that time was the only period i was not happy the other days i was SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER HAPPY. As it was the REAL jungle!! And things are not at the same place everyday they move around!

After that we headed back as the guy was picking us up in the truck at 12 noon to send us back to the base camp for lunch and breifing.Well i end my blog now Be sure to continue to read on! part 2 next!
