Just came back from MacRitchie field trip for Forest Ecology module and yeah.. I'm home very early!! (:

I was bitten by mosquito today and i assume that my mosquito repellant is not working because it has expired.. And i realise that doing field work isn't really fun if u are afraid of insects.

And when i was spraying the insect repellant that was provided by the TAs, i didnt realised that one of the indian TA was standing behind me!! So i accidentally sprayed into her eyes!! *omg* luckily she washed her eyes with water later.

and OMG.. we really went into the forest and measure tree diameter and collect leaves. I already think that its quite difficult to find your way through.. avoiding spider webs here and there, climbing over fallen tree trunks... stepping on the soft soil.. I was really glad that it didnt rain today! *phew*

Ok.. so when we were measuring the tree diameter, suddenly we heard a loud "pomp" sound!!

Immediately, we turn around to see a fallen tree and the macaques were screaming and running about!!

So scary to work in the forest! becos u nv know when the tree will fell on u (o.O)"

And one of us found a skull of a macaque in the forest:

Alrights, the friend who saw this was quite stun when he found the skull. But the prof was really excited when he saw this! (-.-)"

Hwa Chong is also having their cross country today in MacRitchie. This reminds me of NYJC cross country a few years back in MacRitchie too. I still remember that my fren and i walk and talk thru the whole journey and surprisingly we were not the last to reach the finishing line! haha.. and the funnier thing is the teacher at the finishing line was cheering us up to quickly finish our race when apparently he didnt notice that we have been walking all along.. opps =x
