omg, you brought back so many memories. bota kanan, bota kiri! and the terrapins were so scary! you know i never managed to carry the terrapins by myself. i was worried that ill drop it and kill it. hahah. but yessss, i still feel very proud looking at the clean, shiny floor. it was one heck of an experience cleaning that muddy, shit-filled "pond"!

Goody goody .. i once went to kuala terengganu, ma daerah ... a place where giant leatherback turtles laid their eggs. Then, we helped collected them and bring them back to a protected hatchery. And every night ... we'll wait and see the hatchlings! Cute little things!

I'm rather surprised how the terrapins could still live in that state. I mean, the male ones probably couldn't even see the females to mate cause the water's waaay too cloudy;
Mr. Terrapin - "Baaabyy where are yous...?!" Ms. Terrapin - I'm here my prince charming! Follow the vibration of my tone in the water and find your way... If you find me it's meant to be!"
*tickles Ms. Terrapin for using such a cliched line on her man!*
Oh well, I'm swerving here and there. This was at BRATs, yes?

I loooooooooove terrapins! They go very well with rice! Here's one of my favourite recepies:
you go girl. you'd be the last person i can imagine cleaning up the muck in that tank. keep it up.
i like river terrapins. the endangered kind. have always found them fascinating. i've seen a gigantic one, which fitted nicely in an excavator bucket. it was huge.
they're considered delicacy though. not surprised to see recipes =(

I'm glad you wrote this post. I love turtles but haven't been to any volunteer program yet. The only thing I can do to help now is to donate regularly to WWF and also adopt a turtle from the SEATRU program.
who knows, maybe we'll meet each other during one of the volunteer programs!

u've not only donated to the WWF but also the telco too;p ( for any amount you donate, the telco cut takes/makaned almost half of that amount...ie: celcom 50%, maxis : 30% ) ...
sometimes i rather donate directly than to sms if i can ..coz the 'middle man' demands 'commissions' lor -__- .... but oh well, nvm it's all for the good cause good thots right. ;)

You should sign up for a subscription donation with WWF (like I did!). They take amounts of rm30/rm50 a month but if you use maybank2u they will cut an extra rm1 a month :/.

From a city girl who get herself cleaning the terrapins pond in some small town, I salute you Su Ann. I have been to that exact location once, during one of the modules of my National Service programme about three years ago. It was just that we weren't given the chance to 'bathe' those terrapins. I am sure by posting this entry, you have defenitely achieve your step #3 there. Job well-done there.
If every single Malaysian, especially the youngsters are like you...

whilst it is good to donate but pls donate directly to them. Dont use sms feature donation. First the telco will eat up some % and then the svc provider also will eat up some % unless of cos they get full waiver. If not rm3.00 donation, only rm1.00 reaches them.

my family has a monthly subscription to turtles and rhinos under WWF and it's really cool. It's not expensive and every once in a while they send you brochures and letters informing how progress saving the animals is going on! makes you feel like you have a pet somewhere out there *beams*
WWF Malaysia is currently asking for donations to save the turtles, the oceans and the orang utans! Go go, visit the link! :)

Su Ann,
I am so proud of you! There are so many other bloggers that are "preaching" to save our endangered species and gave info on what to do but they never did anything! It's good to see someone walk the walk (instead of just do the talk!).
I salute all of your efforts! Like someone had mentioned above, I do have dreams that one day I'll have a little girl as well rounded as you. You are truly a beautiful person, both inside and out.

Hi Su Ann, I read with interest your... ahem, interest in marine turtle conservation. I've been involved in college level marine turtle conservation project, which blog you can visit at http://the-return.blogspot.com. however, I write with this point. If you are really interested in pledging not to consume turtle eggs, then you need to head right over to this link http://www.umt.edu.my/turtle/?p=18 and help prf Chan out by igning her pledge and getting your readers to sign it to. We've been doing this for a few months now and hope that you can help do the same. Do keep in touch..
