My heart just drop onto the concrete ground with a thud.

10 years have just been reduced to 5 years. 5 years and the orangutans might just go extinct. 5 years, i haven’t even reached 30 yet. Maybe my children may never get to see a wild orangutan in their lifetime.
I can’t tell you how infuriated i am to see rows and rows of neatly planted oil palm all over M’sia. Even leading up to Fraser’s Hill! It’s everywhere! Everywhere u turn, u see oil palm….

Please, do check the ingredient labels on food products before you buy them. Anything that says palm oil or even vegetable oil, don’t buy it. Which is pretty much most of the food u find in supermarkets these days. Sigh… Try to get products that use other oils such as sunflower oil, cottonseed oil, etc…

Sigh, i don’t know what else i can do at this point of time. What can i do? I don’t know why i’m getting so emotional about this…. but 5 years is pretty much a death sentence for the orangutans if nothing is done to stop the habitat destruction. 5 years… how many more trips can i make back to Borneo before i see the orangutans one last time?

I don’t know how my photos are doing any thing to help change the world… what can i do?

OK, i just thought of something… thanx to kisetsu, i’ve just got a brilliant idea.
I shall mass print my postcards and sell them and donate the profits to a good orangutan rehab center. Sounds good? I’m not sure if the amount in the end would be substantial enough to even sponsor just one orangutan for a year but let’s try and see how it goes, ok? People, i need your help! Please spread the word! If you are interested in my postcards, please let me know! thanx!

Been super busy for the past week finishing projects and tidying up any loose ends before i head to Fraser’s Hill in 7 hrs!
It’s been what? 4 months since i last travelled!!!! How did i survive without travelling for such a long period of time!?!?

It may be just a short trip to a nearby destination but a trip is still a trip. And i gotta make full use of this 4 days to relax and unwind …. hmmm wait, i’ll be “chasing” my feathered friends with my long lens and tripod. Don’t think i can relax and unwind… or maybe i’ll just zzzz my way to and fro on the bus journeys, haha! But no matter, as long as i’m HAPPY! ^_^

Ok, still got a secret mission to complete. Hopefully i’ll be able to make it….

Tata!

I wonder what it was thinking when we made eye contact. I thought it was beautiful…..
I hope it was thinking the same about me as well.

It’s my 2nd visit to the Kinabatangan Floodplain of Sabah, Borneo. Home to the Bornean Pygmy Elephants, one of the most endangered elephant species in the world. Only about 1,000-1,500 still roams within the rapidly vanishing forest of Borneo.
