The rumble of Merapi

For past few weeks, Mt. Merapi is being moody...spewing more smoke and lava. Most of the time Merapi is covered by thick mist and as if it's shy to reveal herself. I never had a good sight of her whenever i visit Central Java.

Sometimes, I find that Merapi and women shares a similar character. Most of the time their mysterious and shy. But when moody...both erupts!!! Atleast there are fulltime volcanologists monitoring Merapi. But what about women? I think every women should have a fulltime 'womenoligist' monitoring them. ;) ...Ladies no offence. It's only a joke.

Wanted to share some shots which i tool when i visited Babadan observatory. I really respect the staffs who work there particularly at this time as this observatory is only 4km from the mountain. My best wishes goes to those chaps working in Babadan observatory. Take care dudes!

2. Shielded room which is used to monitor eruption.

Wildlife Watch : Nycticebus coucang















22:45hrs, 1st Feb 2005 :
Another wildlife encounter. This time, it's a Slow Loris (Nycticebus coucang). Caught by my brother near Seremban 2, just a few metres from my home. Poor creature was lost and found crossing the trunk road. Luck is on its side as there was no vehicle or dogs at that time. My brother took his jacket and covered it to keep it calm and took home. Later at that night we took it to a nearby hill and released it back to it's habitat away from busy roads and potential threats. Good to see one happy Loris returning to where it should belong!
