Ended up accompanying my mom to our old place... for the whole of yesterday. We're renting that place out, so we gotta make that place look livable again. While there I found a gecko curled up in a heap in a corner of the now-empty living room. It was alive... just... feeling rather exposed I suppose. There was nowhere in the house where it could've hid - even the air-con covers were removed. The air-con guy commented that somehow my (old) room had more gecko poo than the other rooms. :P Played with the little gecko while throughout, my mom yelled at me to "don't touch the filthy thing with your hands!" and threatened to squish it with her shoes. I like living in the East Coast. So does my mom. It feels much more relaxed... none of that fast-paced life here in the 'city'.

Laziness got the better of me today, as usual. Played WoW, wrote up some stuff, finished a book (Flowers for Algernon... really really good), and sat in my parents' room doing some bird photography. Lighting was bad, since it was nearing dusk. But I managed to get these:


Digiscoped with the Nikon ED78, the equivalent of a 1000mm lens. A male Olive-backed sunbird on one of the treetops.


Sunset from my window. What they call the twilight hour... just before the sun's light disappears.
