The third day began with rain. I know! Such a bummer, right? Of all times, it had to rain. And the ‘best part’ is that we had so many things planned for the third day. But by the time we were done with the yummy breakfast buffet, the rain had stopped and out the sun came peeping at us.

Our first destination was Semenggoh Wildlife Centre. We arrived just in time for the feeding time of the orang utans. It was very fascinating. It’s amazing how smart those creatures are and how much they understand what humans want them to do and what is expected out of them.

Oh, orang utans are big show-offs too. Although there was only one orang utan who showed up for feeding, s/he (not sure) really did give us a show; posing here and there, everywhere because they knew they would be rewarded with luscious fruits by the caretakers of the wildlife centre.

It was a great experience. I wish we had stayed a little bit longer as I found out that there were a lot of other parks to visit, but we didn’t have the chance to.

Our next stop was the Jong’s crocodile farm and zoo. This place was brimming at the seams with all kinds of crocodiles. Small, big, huge, humungous, tailless, buta, gigi besar, kecil. All kinds of them. And because I am morbid sometimes, I thought of what would happen if I were to fall into their cages… though, of course, the answer is crystal clear.

After the crocodile farm, we headed to another place, to what I thought of as the absolute highlight of the trip!
