Padang Kemunting & Raptor Watch
'the Return' made it to Padang Kemunting and also Raptor Watch 2008. Yes, 'the Return' and five volunteers went outstation for two days and they had loads and loads of fun. Seriously. The trip was the realization of our community outreach programme which translates in giving education about marine turtle conservation to rangers and rovers at SMK Methodist, Melaka. Not only managed to educate them, we also educate ourselves about raptors at Raptor Watch 2008 at Tanjung Ilham.

DAY ONE
Padang Kemunting, Melaka

Two hours sitting in the bus didn't make them expressionless.
Here they are, in front of Ismah Beach Resort where we stayed.



The Padang Kemunting Turtle Hatchery is just next to Ismah Beach Resort.
Look what we found: A real turtle, and they have few more there.


And we also saw the terrapins, REAL one.


Everybody was listening to Min Min from WWF
who explained how turtles hatch by the beach.


Mr. Leroy Luar and Ms. Samantha Hepburn educating
the Rangers and Rovers at SMK Methodist Melaka.


And surprisingly, they are more interested about our cause rather than our own
Taylor's College students :) great to know that there are people
out there who actually pay attention and do something.


And after quite a long day, strolling around Jonker street was not a bad idea.
FOOD FOOD FOOD SHOP SHOP SHOP TIRED SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP!



DAY TWO
Raptor Watch 2008, Tanjung Ilham, Melaka

He's the man :P

Seriously pity Aida, she must be missing water so bad. It was a very sunny and bright day earlier that day, but followed by a very cooling rain in the afternoon.


Don't exclude turtles. They also have their own percentage of narcissism. In this case, Aida dreams about being a mermaid for one day. Oh well...

These kids seriously in love with Aida. They hugged her, pinched her, ohh ask Aida. But they were sweet and let me snap few nice pics of them and Aida. KUDOS!

uh oh, the boys brigade. Smartass, all of them. One of the kid asked me, "hey, this is raptor watch right? how come we got turtle in here??". DUH.
Aida acting smart =_=


Not so sure who's attracted more to Aida (well, Aida loves daddys too *grins*)


He was too surprised, barely said anything but 'Hi'.


We spotted our lecturer's performance as well, Mr. Azmyl.


We will never be too tired for a picture or two, aye?
