An Afternoon at Matang Wildlife Park

The trip was unplanned but when Siti called us that morning, we decided to go with it, and that decision was worth making that day!  For once, we never went for a picnic as a family (perhaps because we didn't know a good place to go).  The only place that I could think of for such activity is Matang Family Park, but Siti and Co. showed us a better and more convenient option.  The images below tell the full story of our brief yet memorable activity.

UNIMAS Water Sports Carnival 26 November 2011

For the first time ever, I finally decided to join the competition despite my lack of ability to swim or to negotiate the kayak.  I guess most of the first timers wanted to join just for the fun of it.  Our first few trainings were rather humorous.   For once, Ain, who also can't swim, was "drawn" to participate when someone told her that the kayak will NEVER EVER topple.  Our first visit to the pond by invited by the incident of two persons thrown "overboard" when their kayak tipped.  Hmm.... not a very good sign for many of us, so I thought.  Nevertheless, our first day was OK because Dr M helped to direct the floating device.
