Fun at Sungei Buloh

Papa & me decided to head to Sungei Buloh this morning. It wasn't difficult to find the place. We just followed the many nice sign boards that guided us to the park's car park. It was a sunny morning when we got out of the car. With a small bottle of mineral water we made our way to the nature's trail. When we were at the trail's entrance, I was a bit uneasy when I saw the "Watch It" for crocodiles sign board.



Papa said probably crocodiles may be around since Sungei Buloh is a wetland. But he pointed out that the sign was probably meant to warn us not to scare the crocodiles. Eerr.. I don't think I can scare a crocodile.. can you? Anyway we saw animals while walking through the trail. There were gigantic spiders with its even gigantic web. There were king fishers, lots of small sparrows and I think I saw two eagles gliding in circles above the water looking for fish.



We rested at the reservoir while I drank the water. The reservoir and the nearby battle site park had nice playgrounds. Too bad they were closed for maintenance. Papa said maybe we could come again next month and hope that the playgrounds would be available then. On our way back to the car park, we decided to cross the road to the nearby agro garden and fish farms. The agro garden was also under maintenance but the fish farm was better.




There I fed the turtles and arapaimas, the giant (and I really meant GIANT) fish. We bought two frozen fish and I thew them to the arapaimas. The fish splashed and gulped the frozen fish greedily. Wow! Papa almost dropped his camera phone because of the splashes. Since it was only noon, and papa had just had his nice cup of Suzuki coffee, we decided to explore the Sungei Buloh area more by car. We visited some more fish farms, a bonsai farm and also a fish trading market where their sell life fish, eels and froggies for you to take home and cook. Just like a market, they would also help you cut your fish and put them in plastic bags. Oh yes, we also found the Hay Goat Farm along the way and decided to drop in. I had fun time feeding the goats.


The goats were very friendly and they were always trying to eat papa's pants. One even signal to us with its front leg wanting more grass. I also touched and stroked them. They were so nice and cute. We wanted to buy some goat's milk to bring home for Mama, but there were none left. Papa said we should come again next time in the morning after they milked the goats.
