A trip to the nearby reservoir after work to test the Leica paid off, when I came across this strange looking animal on a tree trunk.

I was getting ready to leave when I spotted a bunch of kids crowding round a tree near the carpark, pointing at something. Being naturally curious (cat-like behavior), I zoomed in (with the camera, of course. no superpowers, sadly, hahaha!) and got a clear look / photo of it.

A flying lemur or colugo, I was told, by 2 nature photographers / conservationists on facebook and instagram.

Common in Singapore and nocturnal but not many came across it, since it usually camouflage and stays in high trees or tree tops, away from the crowd.

Guess the kids and i were lucky enough to see it so close and slightly far from its natural hiding area.

Worth the photo walk and getting bitten by evening bloodsucking mosquitoes.

Something new, learnt

Another toy / gadget to play with, with an amazing 24x zoom and a lot of scenes & modes.

Not sure if I’ll be able to get good photo subjects for today, crossing fingers

 Heh.

Like the rest, international and local gamers, I’ve waited a good decade for Diablo 3.
Memories from D2 launch and everything that happened that year, triggered when i held the game in my hands.

Overwhelming.

E, would have been thrilled to play this…
If he was still with us.

So here’s my version of it…
The cat edition.

Blackie or Tux, in its usual pose.

Had a simple dinner with parents, at a coffee shop nearby. Food was decent, a little slow for service.

Mom seemed pleased, so all’s good
