Black-naped Oriole


Black-naped Oriole (Oriolus chinensis)

Photographed from the window of my apartment in Penang. This particular bird (named Bart by my wife) would visit me and peck at my window for at least 5 minutes everyday!

Oh and yes... it gets a bit worrying when the wife starts giving names to bird visitors and starts talking to them...

Lizard catcher


Yes, that's right. I am so bored in my Penang home that I have started catching lizards alive. And I'm getting pretty darn good at it. This is a close-up shot of my thumb and index finger holding on to a live baby lizard.

And if you're wondering, yes, I felt like eating it. But I didn't. I simply threw it out of the window... and I'm wondering if it managed to find its way back to home sweet home. Sorry mate... hope the landing wasn't too hard.

JCL meal on SQ192/15SEP09


So this is what you get on the short 60min flight from SIN to PEN on SQ192 in Business Class. What crap. It's just an EYCL meal presented nicely. And it tasted disgusting.

Climbing to 3,000ft on a right turn after departure from PEN runway 04 on the IKILO1C SID. I was seated at 16K on board 9V-SRI operating SQ191 flying PEN-SIN.

Breakfast in Business Class on SQ192/01SEP09 (SIN-PEN)

You need culinary counselling if you find this appetizing. Can't they do better than this?
