Furry Surprises

As M and T were not feeling well on sunday, they decided not to go for our usual skate gathering. Making use of the chance, i too, took a break from the usual routine and took my bike out for a ride instead.

It had been quite sometime since i went for a 3 hour non-stop ride. Rode down to Bishan park before heading down to MacRitchie. Went further down to lornie road and turned into the small rode that leads to Singapore Island Country Club.

Here's where i got the surprise visit from one of our little furry neighbour from the park after passing some tombstones. Want to know who's the neighbour i'm talking about - just click on the link below. :)

Really wonder why we didn't see any of them when i went for a hike with MM a few months back. Heehee, maybe we were making too much noise that day. (",)

Of course, i managed to sight quite a number of the long tailed macaque (a type of monkey if you are not familiar) along the way. Quite a common sight nowadays and due to the fact that humans sometimes feed them, they will make a grab for the plastic bags (thinking it contains food) held in the visitors' hands. So make sure, remember to keep your plastic bags out of sight if you visit the park. :)
