Lower Pierce

Dear promised to bring me to Lower Pierce for a walk & it's a very sunny sunday hehe... =)

Reached there about 10am & I was in my dri-fit shirt & sport shoes. At first, I thought it's those open space that can walk/run freely, hold hand in hand & breathe in the fresh air.

Who knows there's trail of steps (Up Down, Up Down, Straight....) & it looks like in a forest/jungle. But well, that's something new & I am curious to explore this place.

Dear bought his DSLR camera along & shoot those signages, grasses, trees, monkeys, squirrels, flowers, worms, lizards & etc haha... It's a good place using your sight & sound (Eyes & Ears) to pay attention. Why do I say this?

It's because I am more of a blurry & slow to response kind of person, but when I reached this kind of forest/jungle places, I become more alert & used my eyes to scan everywhere I walk & my ears to listen carefully where the sounds came from. I noticed a lot of movement in the grasses & on the trees.

In the grasses, I saw a kind of big lizard. It's not those chamelons, but another species (There's a signage board showing us different kind of reptiles or lizards). Then up on the trees, the leaves were moving.

What did I see? Monkeys & Squirrels, so cutie! Just within 15 minutes, I am already sweating but legs are not tired as it's those small kind of steps. Can treat it as a form of exercise hehe...

I hate those bees or flies fly near to my ear, as I heard the buzzing sound (4 times altogether). I had saw at least more then 10 monkeys. Some even jumped out from the tree or on the ground to the steps we people are walking on.

I quickly ask Dear to give them a shot. They are very agile & jump here & there. Difficult to take a still picture unless it stays good.

When the monkey jump out to the steps (4 of it), I am scared.... =( I mumbled to myself & Dear "The monkeys jump out & looking at me. How to move forward?" At that point of time, I grab my Dear hands & we move forward together.

He's just like my knight & I am the princess, protecting me haha... Okok... I know I am not acting in a fairytale show now =p

Then I saw a kind of tree which all the small leaves are wrapped around the tree in a clockwise direction. It make me think of a fairytale story " Magical Beanstalk" where a little girl climbed all the way up in this tree & found her prince. I told Dear about it & he took a picture & say "Oh... Magical Beanstalk" haha... He's such a cutie.

We took almost 1 hour to complete this walk. There's another side which I believe it's the open ground that I mentioned earlier on, but need to travel a very far distance, so Dear didn't go & only stopped at here. Some monkeys are even on the roads, so dangerous.
