New Year Greeting 2016

Sometimes when that moment does not present you with the things you want; a pleasant surprise comes along instead. This was what I got when I was looking for the bird I wanted on that morning. The bird didn't show up but a smooth otter popped its head up from the water instead.

Happy New Year 2016 to all living creatures on this planet. May your year be filled with pleasant surprises.

Brief Appearance in Travelfish.org

This kayaking tour was back in August 2012. I didn't have my own website back then until now. I remember a very brief review by Stuart McDonald from Travelfish and I like to add on to my list of reviews. 

Stuart was recommended by a food and travel writer, Robyn Eckhardt.  With a short notice, I managed to book a boat and a kayak for us on the following day and off we paddled into the tributaries of Tanjung Rhu mangroves.

You may need to scroll down a fair bit to get to my name. To make it slightly easier, here is the screen shot:

I was using this particular email address mentioned in Stuart's writeup back in 2012. It is changed to this email address: wendynatureguide@gmail.com

My appreciation goes to Robyn Eckhardt and Stuart McDonald of Travelfish.org. Thank you for your immense support. 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2016

Wishing all my dear family, friends, my guests and nature lovers a meaningful celebration on this festive season and a wonderful year ahead.

This image of a long-tailed macaque and a stray female mongrel was taken in Kuah town. It is a very unique monkey and dog relationship that I have never seen before. Most dogs would chase after monkeys and some dogs would even kill and eat them. 

I thought this image is meaningful in a sense that true friends are not to be taken for granted.

I will tell you more about this monkey and mongrel when I have the spare time.
