First time to the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve,(7.30am to 7.00pm everyday, $1 admission fee) now i can say 'been there, done that' and strike it off my list. True-blue nature buffs must really love this place, what with all the birds and vegetation, but i guess it's not my cup of tea really. Don't get me wrong, i love nature, but i haven't got the patience to sit around waiting for birds to appear while swarms of killer mozzies feed on my blood, and to think we coated ourselves with a thick layer of 'OFF'! These must be the commando types, the totally-immune-to-insect- repellent kind that i used to encounter during my army days. Also, as far as fauna is concerned, it's mostly birds and retiles(saw a monitor lizard and a skink)- i hate reptiles. Couldn't find any furry mammal friends, maybe it'll be better with a guide around. But oh well, to be fair, it is a well-structured reserve, complete with boardwalks, well-marked walking trails, towers and viewpoints, and it does deliver an authentic experience- the smells, the sounds, and of course, the mozzies. Damn it- i hate mozzies...
