Fancy Hair Style

I received a few interesting comments on my earlier post: 1. "My stars, where ever did you get that awful hairdo ?" 2. "Just gimme a sec.. wanna fix ma hair n powder ma face.. ok.. am ready.. now shoot!"

And this is the comment from my monkey: "Hello! Hold on!!! He is not that fancy, look at me!!"

My monkey may not have the intelligence on IT, but he is always the trend setter, in terms of hair style, the rest are only followers.

Please do not react excessively while somebody is passing by, if they and my monkey look alike. They may think they are monkey at the moment.

By the way, I leave it to you to imagine and describe on his hair style.

An Orange Bloom

I was caught in the rain again, and needed to run for the shelter before wishing for a rainbow. You see, a rainbow is considered to be "a path made by a messenger between Earth and Heaven", but have to admit I am yet qualified to witness the heaven. Somehow, I waste no time to enjoy every second in the Earth that equally treats everybody, be it poor or rich, male or female and "ivory or ebony".

Although the rainbow was missing, I spotted an orange bloom in return. It was bright and charming that I could not resist sharing with you.


It must have slipped from the rainbow.

I might be right; it grabbed some yellow before leaving the heaven.

Interrogation

This was a shot at a monkey during my recent hike. I do not think it was looking at me. What did it think at that moment?

Countless of question marks, worries or arguments often occupy our brain. We lose our mind, we look so blank through our eyes, but does a monkey happen to behave like us?

This is a world that full of interrogation, even a monkey may go crazy one day.

I Saw the Bird Again

After I had some fun with those monkeys, I continued my hike to the top.

Not too far away from the second stop, I met this little bird out of sudden. It just appeared in front me, looking at me, and sort of inviting me. I had the feeling it was the same buddy which I met last time. It must have known about my difficulty to capture its pictures, that is why it was waiting for me at the same old place.

After it confirmed that I had noticed its presence, it turned and led me to somewhere that I did not know. I am saying so because my buddy never flied away, it hopped bit by bit, at the same time making sure I was following, and I followed very obediently. I think we had the consensus, after the first encounter, and after it knew about my post in my blog. I guess.

The bird flied up to the curb, confirmed I had it in my sight, and then continued. We seemed to be an old friend to each other by now.


We communicated by body language in the whole journey, and when it turned to me, I knew it must have something to tell me. It stayed for while, but running out of words, so was I. It gave up talking anything finally, except hinting me to follow again.

Then I knew, the moment it stopped at this place, an entrance to somewhere. My buddy was bringing me to its home. I was its guest today. How fortunate I was!!

Before I managed to response, I was slow to response because I needed to figure out the method, a passer-by broke in. In order to keep the secret, my buddy flied away without saying goodbye.

Left behind a sweet memory.

One, Two and Jump

When I went back to Cerok Tokun yesterday morning, the second stop was noisy with different funny sounds of the monkeys. I could not understand what was really happening. The voices echoed from the right, to the left, and then appeared far atop a tree and down to the slope, almost at everywhere. When I was busy tracing the various sound sources, my attention had been distracted by something happened on my right.

The monkeys were lining up jumping from one tree to another. This must be one of the game that I could not make any sense of it. I aimed my camera at the jumping location, waiting to harvest a few action-packed pictures.

Yes, here is the first move: Get set,

Ready,

Go!

And the game continued.
But my focus was to follow the last one. I searched between the leaves and branches. The monkey had disappeared to nowhere. Somehow I had spotted what supposed not to be seen in the open.
I wonder while the couple were busy, what was the third one trying to do?
