We had a short day trip to Pangkor Island last week.  We bought nothing except these seashell keychains.  Each shell is labeled with Pangkor, and has a small hole to allow the keychain to be connected.

The girl who was selling them told us this type of purple shell only appears after the Tsunami 2004 happened, and now, there are only a few left.

This is my favorite.  It is small, and usually people put it near their ears where they can listen to the natural sound of the beach.  Beware if a crab were staying inside and it might bite your ear!

This shell looks like a cap.

I wonder if there is a better way to sell these shells instead of making them into keychains.  The shells hurt when they were drilled with the small hole, and the word “Pangkor” has taken away their natural colours.

These pictures were taken when we were traveling on a bus on the North South Highway, West Malaysia.  It was cloudy and the sky was almost dark.

After I have edited the pictures, I found that the power cable poles look like one of the Power Rangers show’s monsters.

The first picture above has been adjusted on its hue, whereas this picture has only been touched on its contrast.

There are blackouts happening quite frequently in Sarawak recently (few hours each time, few times a week, randomly).  I hope it won’t happen again.

Have you seen this species of frog before?  We have had a few acquaintances with frogs lately.  This little fellow was found in the garden by Colin.

According to Colin, it stayed really still for the whole ‘photography session’ even though the camera was really close to it.  It was quite cooperative.

By the way, did I mention about its main attraction?  Yes!  It has blue eyes!  However, it does not look like those poisonous frogs but it is still best not to touch it.

It hung on tightly to the branch.  I wonder what it was thinking.  Have you ever thought about communicating with animals?  Maybe we can learn some valuable lessons from them.

Do you think frogs are adorable?  I’ve asked a few people but they think that frogs make them shiver and they kind of feel a little bit gross about it.

This part shows the frog’s legs.  They are not ordinary legs if you ask me.  They are strong, reliable and…sticky!
