Who said Semakau is only full of rubbish?

When we looked at the orangey-red sky above our heads,having hair blown out of shape, rubbish flying around and signboards crashing onto the ground, we all knew it was an omen. Mum wasnt happy. And to make her pleased as soon as possible, we had to look for the real jinx

*Bernie came out of the washroom*
"Oh, what happened? Why like that after I came out of the washroom?"
"OHHH...So it's you!"

Despite of this, the WildFilms crew, together with Semakau guides, set off. We board the most luxurious boat, with TV, leather seats and air-con. Water was very choppy and everyone was bouncing up & down on their seats. 15 minutes later, we reached Semakau Landfill.

Mum wasnt pleased yet. Lightnings flashed across the sky, brightening the pitch dark area. We put on our ponchos and walked for 2km before we reached the jungle entrance.

Robert led the way until he stopped. Oh no, another bad sign (for me especially). The moment he stopped, I froze. I just knew it. SNAKE!! We couldnt figure what snake that was because it was too dark but Robert managed to describe it as being black with yellow spots, but soon after, the snake escaped and we continued to trek through the jungle.

All of us reached the shore safely and gears were distributed among the guides.
We saw quite alot of animals like: a juvenile frogfish

A nudibranch (Sinuate ceratosoma)
A baby cuttlefish
Sand deposit by acron worm
A scrabby platydoris of palm size!A baby mudskipper& many more!

Now, who said Semakau is full of rubbish? We have animals here!!

The sun came out from the other side of the island but its first ray of light looked just as beautiful as everWe packed our stuffs to leave as the tide came in and we had to walk the long way again.I guess everyone was practically dragging their feet. Thankfully, the landfill staffs came for us with a small trunk and minivan & transported us back to the jetty! Weeee~~

Event of the day:
We were so poor after paying for the boat-trip to Semakau that Alvin volunteered himself for a ransom in order to recieve more money for future trips

HAHAHAHA
Just kidding
