After some crappy seafood dinner, we went for fireflies nite tour...
Board a boat at Kota Tingi and we saw bats under a bridge.. they actually build their empire there! Ewww.. scary...

And we sail our way down the river to a swamp area where there's not a single source of light, only left reflections from the moonlight.. and.... we SAW! FIREFLIES!!
Eh... it doesnt look real at first glance, we doubt its light bulbs! Haha.. cos it actually blinks like a xmas tree.. slowly we are deep inside the swamp and they are all over the trees along the river... argh... we starts to believe its real eh..70%... hahaha...

and then we were so close to them, some of us starts to grab them! They are flying! They are real! WOW... amazing! We were so excited! Screaming and laughing disturbed the flies, they seems like kinda shock and became busier.. haha... Well too bad cant take any pics as its too dark, camera cant catch anything.. its really an eye opener to me, so sua gu that its my first time in my life to see fireflies!

This is reali the highlight of the tour.. fantastic.. some us caught them and we on our hp to see how exactly they look like.. they are so small juz like an big ant size..
We also saw owl while on the way back to the jetty.. hmm.. the boatman reali expert, wandering how the hell he can see the owl in darkness and he stops the boat, shone the touch at the owl standing at the edge of bridge.. and it flew away.. Superb eyesight! Haha..

Had a great time... our ppl contributed quite a fair bit to the economy of Msia, they bought LOTSA stuff back to SG!
Huat ah! Haha..
