Last Wednesday, a few friends and I went to Sg. Garama to visit one of our distant primate cousins, the proboscis monkeys. It was raining during the 2 hour drive and it was still raining a bit when we arrived there. We got onto the boat and off we went. We were making up names for the sungai since the color was a light brownish color. Not exactly teh o, not really nescafe, heheh... then c aman said, nescafe o cair. heheh..
There were some interesting trees to be seen. Mona mentioned the pompong fruit. fruit ka tu? Looks edible tapi was actually poisonous. They're found mostly near the river because the mode of dispersion is usually through water movement. Some trees with the akar banir. Tia tau what akar banir is in English. nanti la cari. after about half an hour of boat ride, we saw this family of monkeys perched solemnly on the branches. Kasian.. it was still raining by this time, and some were huddled close together for warmth. But mana la buli huddle sama-sama ramai-ramai since there were no branches big enough for more than 3 monkeys. Took a few blurred photos of them.
We were planning to wait up to see fireflies there also but we were told that ever since the flood the fireflies were nowhere to be found. Hmm...pindah habitat skejap maybe. Oh well..
