Baby Turtles

Somehow, Baby Mutant Ninja Turtles, doesn’t sound right for the title of today’s post. On Saturday, a few of us, the hiking gang, hiked for an hour to reach Pantai Kerachut. It is located at the north western peak of our small little island. We never expected to get a surprise when we reach our destination, to us it was just another regular workout.

We were just resting at the beach table when the ranger told us about the baby turtles kept at the nearby hatchery. This was indeed a rare opportunity as turtles lay their eggs at certain seasons in a year. We were at first a bit hesitant to touch or hold the little ones, but after enquiring whether they would bite, we proceeded to pet them. Apparently, they were hatched a day before and the rangers kept them until they could release them at a save time to increase their odds of survival.

That time turned out to be 7.30 pm that very day. So we stayed on till 7.30 pm. A crowd was already gathering when the baby turtles was taken out from their hatchery. Everyone had a photo session before they were released. Away they crawled towards the tsunami like waves. I can’t help but wonder how many of them are left now.

Sill-fur

Sunday, May 13th, 2007

After much deliberation, I have decide to leak some interesting details about my life. Guard it with your life dear blog readers, for this is a priviledge I entrust only to my most loyal of my blog reading followers. Here it is:

My cat’s name is Silver.

My maid calls her Sill-fur, cause she can’t really pronounce it in English and so how in its translated into her native Indonesian. Well it could be worse. It could have been Silver-to or Silver-maru, if I had one of those sexy Japanese maids.

Anyway back to Silver. Silver is a most amazing puss. Adorable, but not as adorable as puss-in-boots in Shrek 2. She has the ability to jump from fridges, when chasing lizards(her favourite french cusine). She is very very very photogenic (after a few hundre shots). Has the special ability to understand the human mood and language, she was pissed off at my mom and maid, after the maid scolded her being naughty. Barely spoke a word in half a day. Plus the special special ability to make us beg, ie she jumps out of our window onto our roof where we will have to beg to coax her to come back into the house.

Anyway, my bro took some photo of her. Take your time to enjoy my beautiful pest pet. And ladies, if you have this irresistible urge to pat my cat, you are always welcome to come over and pat her, the owner is adorable too you know. :-P
