We made our first trip to Thomson Nature Park, yippee!
It was a good walk that we did as a family, despite the occasional nagging and bickering that has become part and parcel of our lives. There were dark clouds looming and we could hear thunder too but luckily, we still managed to complete the Streams and Ferns Trail (1.4km) and Rambutan Trail (0.4km), phew.
Well, that wasn't a lengthy distance, I know, but having three kids and a 3-month-old made it seem way longer than that. Along the way, we spotted insects like dragonflies, spiders, ants, butterflies, frogs, grasshoppers, as well as bugs and a caterpillar that we have not seen before. That is why these nature walks are so interesting because you never know what you might come across.
Hoping we will keep up this adventurous spirit as a family and that we will keep exploring, keep learning and keep hiking.
Happy Monday and have a good week ahead, people!

We decided to get a breath of fresh air this afternoon after staying home for most of the past 10 days. Since the weather forecast said there was going to be a thunderstorm, we reckoned it would be quite deserted here and we were right.
Yup, while we are staying away from crowded places like shopping malls for the time being, we hope to continue doing what we love to do as a family - explore nature parks!
This was our first visit to Chestnut Nature Park and we had a good workout as we hunted for wildlife. We spotted ants, grasshoppers, millipedes, skinks, macaques, spiders, snails, fishes, birds, squirrels and...... see the last pic for the highlight of our visit. Can you spot it? Hint: It is green in colour.
Not surprisingly, the kids whined a little, especially when ants crawled onto our legs. A couple of them fell down, one threw tantrum and there were bickers here and there too. But other than that, we were really thankful to take a walk in the park and they were always excited whenever they spotted a creature. We also crossed a bridge and walked over a stream, and it was so quiet that we could hear the rushing water, calling of birds and chirping of insects.
This was the only group photo we took along the nature trail. Even though it was deserted and we were basically on our own, we still walked in pairs (6 of us made 3 pairs!), kept a distance and had our masks on most of the time. We walked around 3km today and I think that is a good achievement with 3 kids and a 3-month-old baby. Haha. Thankfully, it didn't rain yet when we left so the weather was perfect during our trip.
HBL resumes tomorrow and it stretches till mid June for me because the boy will continue to have his K2 lessons virtually. While we are still happy to stay home, an outdoor walk truly does wonders to rejuvenate our minds and I appreciate it lots. Grateful for today.
Hope everyone had a good Vesak Day holiday too!

I'm not a nature kinda person but I truly enjoyed it! We did the Signature Rainforest Experience which allowed us to experience The Habitat with a Habitat Naturalist, Mr Low,whom was so nice. He showed us some very interesting plants around The Habitat which I personally would love to have, especially the Tiny Orchid [ Vegas was smelling them in the video] and some other mean plants which can cause one to itch and even turn dumb. Mr. Low even showed the kids, spiders, Trantulas and other insects which they love. Honestly,the kids loved him! and my job was so much easier with Mr. Low around. LOL We were lucky to spot a Huge Squirrel, bigger than a cat.
.
It was my first time on Curtis Crest, the highest viewing point in Penang and I also came to learn about the history of the place. So cool. Heiley's legs was all jelly at Curtin Crest, but she managed to overcome her fear of heights and walked around it. So proud of this little one. I can't wait to visit this place in the evening to view the Sunset. Yes, there is also a Sunset Walk which you can experience. More about that in the comments.
.
The Signature Rainforest Experience also includes the Flight of Colugo which consist of 5 Ziplines, 1 Abseiling Line and 1 Rope Bridge Walk, both Heiley & Vegas Chan completed it too! I am so proud of them. Daddy @kokhoe chan said "chi kek"...hehe...so Mummies & Daddies, if you have ever considered letting your children experience the Zipline I suggest here because all safety measurements were taken and the Zipline Guides looks after the kids like their own.
.
Overall, it was a great experience and I didn't regret waking up at 6am on a Saturday. Lol. I will surely be back to experience Sunset Walk! If you are not doing anything this weekend, give yourself a treat and enjoy nature at its best at The Habitat Penang Hill.

記得打開中文字幕唷

當Gay不是後天選擇,而是先天遺傳的嗎?
如果是後天選擇的,那為什麼沒辦法把Gay變回異性戀?
又如果是「先天遺傳的」,那就更怪了,因為同志不會自己生小孩,那遺傳的力量應該無計可施。
照理來說,Gay 早就該絕種才對
不過神奇的是,同志行為不但沒有消失,反倒出現在幾乎所有動物身上
聽起來,這好像是一個超級不合理的事實,不過它卻可以被一個簡單的解釋優雅的解決
實際上,自然界對這同志這件事做了一個非常巧妙的設定,內容在影片中,這就是Howard這次的生物學的期末報告 (撒花轉圈圈)
影片腦補小教室:
01:28
蜘蛛跟魷魚絲一樣, 都是蛋白質組成的(咳), 它的強度不但高過鋼鐵, 而且質量極小, 繞地球一圈的蜘蛛絲重量, 低於一杯中杯珍奶 (500cc)
03:20
適者生存, 又稱天擇說, 應該算是史上最重要的一條生物定律, 它解釋生命的樣貌是流動的, 而不是永遠不變, 包括我們人類, 也是由單細胞生物演化成魚, 爬到陸地上, 變成猩猩, 最後才變成今天這個樣子
這讓亞當跟夏蛙聽到可能會覺得很不爽 (我知道我知道) !
03:22
天擇說理論在一百多年前(1859)被達爾文所發表
其實應該要更早, 因為在那時候的社會價值還是以上帝造人為主流, 可能達爾文當時也怕自己被暴民亂棒修理吧, 所以一直把這個想法藏到他50歲才公諸於世.
不過, 這個假設隨著陸續出土的證據跟研究, 如今變得越來越堅不可破.
03:24
"正向基因突變" 講的就是可以增加你 "生存率" 或者 "交配率" 的基因, 可是, "正向"這兩個字並不是絕對的, 聽起來有點模糊哦 w(゚д゚)w
讓我們用 " 白化症 (白子) " 的例子來說明吧 !
白化症是一種會讓你全身色素變不見的基因突變, 假如你有這種基因, 那你整個人就會看起來白白der(就像通天神探狄仁傑裡面的斐東來).
如果這種壯'況發生在非洲狐身上, 那我們會把它視為是一組具有毀滅性的基因; 因為牠在土黃色為主的非洲平原上走跳, 還把自己弄得白拋拋, 這等同掛了一面 吃我吃我 的牌子再身上.
可是, 如果它發生在北極狐身上呢? 我們就會當它是所謂的正向基因, 因為在北極, 白化症會變成一種保護色, 方便牠們掠食或逃跑, 接下來牠以後生的孩子會有潛在的白化症基因.
順道一提, 我們現在看到的極地動物, 很多都是白化症的產物
04:35
E.O威爾森是哈佛大學的生物學榮譽教授, 也是島嶼生態學 (Insular biogeography) 的創始人之一. 他曾多次獲得美國國家級的獎章. 論人性 (On Human Nature) 是他於1978年時的一部著作, 獲普立茲獎
影片中我提到很 " 理論" 跟 "假說"這類的詞, 可能會讓人覺得 "只是理論 " ,
個人以為這樣不太公平
因為沒有人可以活在生命的開端 (約35億年前), 然後全程記錄宇宙的始末. 理論的出生, 是人類為了說明某個現象所發展出來的解釋, 它必須受到現實非常嚴格的檢視. 借用一個科學家的話來作結, 他說:
這個世界的規律, 是眾神正在下的一盤棋, 而人類在一旁邊看邊猜它的規則, 如果你看到皇后把主教吃了, 你會說皇后比主教大, 可是接著你又看到主教把皇后吃了, 那你的說法 (假說) 就必須修改, 直到遊戲結束, 所有的規則 (理論) 都能完全符合你的觀察為止, 大致上, 我們所說的科學理論就是這麼一回事, 只是真實的狀況比下棋複雜太多了(Richard Feynman)"
