09.Nov.2009 Wild Man of Borneo@Sepilok, Sandakan

dur­ing my intern­ship in san­dakan (circa may which was six months ago =.=), hom­mie brought us out for a nature-lurving trip together with some other col­leagues one fine day (labour day). we beamed and hopped around da house when she told us da night before. we so wanted to visit our ances­tors as it’s one of da must-visit tourist spot in san­dakan. and we need some­one to bring us there cos we were prac­ti­cally immo­bi­lized with­out chauf­feur

no, we weren’t wild men. we are women wtf

kiki, we were fair and lurvely back then, now… T__________T *glare at self in disgust*

i brought lulu out with me <3 (i name my gad­gets and acces­sories one)

it’s a keychain-turned-necklace

this was our first time see­ing police in san­dakan. must snap.

upon reach­ing sepi­lok, there’s a round­about with an orang­utan direct­ing u da way…

i tell u ar, round­abouts are all over sabah. and every round­about is beau­ti­fully dec­o­rated one like this one *points up*

and after 1.5h, we reached da des­ti­na­tion. yala, we were stay­ing that out of town…

no, there will be no lenglui to greet u one.

this sepi­lok orang utan sanc­tu­ary is estab­lished in 1964 to reha­bil­i­tate orphaned baby orang utans and return them to the wild when they are fit enough.

lust green­ery

which is good for our eyes

tan­das with cool murals (or izzit graffiti?)

qunkafok! eh not really, kak godex was hold­ing cam­era

entrance fees of rm5 for mykad hold­ers and rm30 for foreigners!

and rm10 is charged per cam­era. that’s why i hid Josh in my bag (da pic above was snapped using kiki’s camera)

and whipped him out once i stepped out from da counter

blue sky + cot­ton candy cloud, me <3

i was taken aback to see sucha hugee crowd! these angmohs are suagu wei

they were snap­ping non­stop and i donno why cos i didn’t see any orang utan

then i fol­lowed da direc­tion of their lens, and there he was! this lil’ brown­ish furry ball was hang­ing him­self up there!

and he greeted us with his ass­hole, what a boor­ish orang!

awww…so cutie

he’s look­ing at me, i must be beau­ti­ful that day WTF

then he went back to where he belongs.

didn’t really snapped muchy that day, so lemme ripped some snap­shots off da web

wah bery flexibo!

i feel like keep­ing her as pet wei! so kiut!!!

saggy nip­ple hahahaha

then it’s feed­ing time.

orang utans are fed twice a day, 10am and 3pm, so if u were to visit, make sure u get ur butt there in time.

greedy lil’ thing!

orangey but­ter­fly rested on his hat and it attracted many shut­ter­bugs, every­buddy started shoot­ing his head haha

crowd on my left and right. craziness.

it was a scorch­ing hot day

we enter­tained our­selves while wait­ing for colleagues.

a kiut sign

then we adjourned to this infor­ma­tion cen­tre to enjoy aircond

hock, see u are there, so kiut right! *cubit*

who is bet­ter in grimacing?

do u know that orang utans (sci­en­tif­i­cally known as Pongo pyg­maeus) are found to be 96.4% sim­i­lar to our (Homo sapi­ens sapi­ens) genes. com­par­ing da skulls above, theirs’ big­ger and their far­ings’ muchy longer and sharper like keongxi (僵尸) le
