The monkeys at the reservoir can be quite daring. One small one even came up and touched my shoes! Out of curiosity I suppose.
Monkey business at Macritchie Reservoir
Grumpy one there
Paranoma shot!Once I wondered why people go to Macritchie to do their exercising.
I commented to my student that the happiest moment is sometimes that first sip of "Milo Peng" after a run. He couldn't agree more, with the lush greenery and cool breeze around. Got to know the auntie at the drinks stall, now entitles us to her "handmade" drinks which are supposed to taste better. Recommended her to go to Kimage to get her hair permed, she challenged me to find her something cheaper than 6 bucks, the service she's getting at her hairdresser's, which is quite decently done actually.
树林里弥漫着淡淡的树草甘香,带出了大自然一丝清鲜与温馨.

Funny was just reading about this today: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ecotax/message/634
Unfortunately the monkeys can become quite bold, even aggressive, due to frequent contact with humans, a common problem in the urban environment. This happens when peopel feed them. The macaques at BTNR and Macritchie will try to mob you if they smell food on you. And then if they become too much of a public nuisance they will probably be culled. Although some of it is probably inevitable due to human encroachment into their natural habitat, it's nonetheless ironic how an ill-considered act of kindness can become a death sentence.
We came, we saw, we claim the forest for us all.
To walk, to jog, to escape the city smog.
Monkeys were natives, we taught them to be intrusive.
We came, we saw, we don't like the monkeys at all.
Monkeys now a pest of the natural reserve
that we deserve.
We hunt, we kill, we cull for our protection.
The monkeys a pity,
a blemish in the perfect greenery.
We came, we saw, we claim the forest for us all.
Humans rulez.
