Just watched Lonely Planet on Discovery Channel and they showed Ian Wright (who has the best job in the world) in Madagascar! Lynn, are we still going there!? :)

Totally zonked out after busy day at shop yesterday, followed by excursion to the Night Safari (free ticket!) and then late night roti prata and tehcinno at famous Thasevi prata place at Jalan Kayu. Couldn’t really see the cute tarsiers but managed to check out all three of the walking trails - the Forest Giant Walk (on the suspension bridge over the primary rainforest that hardly felt “suspension”), the Fishing Cat Trail (where the furballs were actually fishing though they didn’t seem to catch anything – typical fishermen grouch : p) and the Leopard Trail (with the walk through the quite exciting “Mangrove Walk” – where you come literally face-to-face with giant sinister-looking fruit bats – they are the size of HDB stray cats! Quite scary). Promised myself to check up on these giant rodents called Capybaras.

Dropped by at the Bidadari Christian Cemetery yesterday after visiting a nearby school – just to see it again (this must be my 3rd or 4th visit) before they raze this beautiful place to the ground and replace it with some ugly modern construction. This place is really tranquil and some of the headstones are amazingly elaborate. See some pictures that I took. Go see it before its gone.

Other stuff… one of our staff lost her new Nokia 8250 at our shop – literally lost it under her nose as she left it carelessly on the worktable outside the office and walked away from it for a while to help customers – sigh, this is the fourth case of theft in our shop to-date. Can’t emphasize enough to them about taking care of their own possessions :( Caught the act on video through our CCTV (it was this late twenty something woman – typical office worker type – definitely a case of opportunism).. I’ll see if I can upload the "Wanted Criminal" image once I get the tape back from the police.
