The Return to Sungei Buloh

Went to the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve again today, with MH, Ir and Fen. As the SBS bus 925 do not drive into the reserve on Saturday, we have to alight at the Kranji Reservoir Car Park and walk in. At the bus stop, we spotted an uncle equipped with his DSLR and both MH and Lele was like: Lets follow him!! (Yeah! Great minds think alike) To our amaze, Ir started a conversation with the uncle, asking whether he was heading to the reserve and that we were too. She even told him that one of her friends (that's me) went there and like it, so was bringing them to the place this time.

We stopped half way to take some photographs and the uncle was like waiting for us. He was so kind!! Not wanting to let him wait, I signal to him to go on while he pointed out the route that we should take. Continue our way, we were really very slow... In no time, the uncle was out of sight while we were still busy taking photographs of birds we saw on the way.
