Back to the wild

"Oh... So Clifford Pier is no longer existing... Opps. Are you sure you know your way to Marina South Pier?"
That's one question I was asking the cab driver this early morning with a question mark floating above my head.

Bahhhh.

Sounded so stupid, having no clue that Clifford Pier had already closed down, but it doesnt really bother me as long as there's still way to go for WildFilms trip. & yes, finally, I'm back, heading to Big Sister's Island.

Sunrise was perfect! I guess I've never seen sunrise for a very long time!

My 2nd time visiting Big Sister's Island. Left me quite an impression during my 1st trip. The team was harassed by this Jack Russel that plays with Pong Pong fruit & agressive monkeys that stole Tom's ipod. Marine animals were as well impressive but this trip's sure is much more impressive.

Ria had a short briefing to the team before getting wet

First animal found - Anemone shrimp
One of them (on the left) even has roes in it... Wooo.. Mama shrimp =)
A Phyllid that is about 5cm long

Also saw a baby stingray but I was too engrossed with capturing footages that I'd forgotten to take a snap! *slaps forehead*
& saw 2 baby octopuses too! But escaped way too fast before my camera was turned on.

When returning back to the shore, Ria spotted a real ugly fellow.
I've always wondered... why does a stonefish always have a sad face =(
Is it coz it knows it's ugly? or it's just that sad smile that makes it ugly?
Haha! >_< Just trying to act funny

Back on dry land, someone's Bonjour got stolen by the monkeys. Luckily it's just bread...

While on our way back, our boat broke down. The ropes got stuck in the propeller & one big piece of wood on the deck got torn off. So we headed back mainland & waited for another boat.

Had fun today. Finally saw a stingray in Singapore waters. Heard alot of it but seeing is believing. & I believe there'll just be more & more creatures for me to spot if I'm lucky enough. So... where shall we go next?

*winks*
