My feet feel like they've been rubbed on a cheese grater. That's because I went on a field trip today. Don't ask me why...it's for one of my courses (Environmental Science). Basically what we needed to do was to go to 3 different types of habitats to sample the stuff living there.
Took a bus as usual, first we went to some shithole (quite literally) pond at Kelana Jaya. I didn't bring my cam down there so no pics for that place. It was quite lifeless anyway, just a few bugs, larvae and some apple snails. Interestingly, as ugly as apple snails look, they do produce some interesting looking pink eggs which will look like chewing gum sticking on the sides of anything they stick to.

Later we went to some forest in Gombak. Forest was boring....trees, leeches and dead leaves. No tigers (they do exist there) or any other big animals around. But then we went down to a stream to collect samples. I imagined pristine rivers were sandy and nice. I was wrong, it was like walking on needles. Hence, I currently have a very uncomfortable feeling on my feet. But it was interesting though. No talking needed...pics will speak for themselves below...
