Kuala Gula Trip-Part 2

…Continue from Part 1

 

After lunch, we were brought to a tiger mantis shrimp & crab farm.

 

Tiger mantis shrimps larger than the size of a palm!

 

 

A male crab! To my surprise, I was the only one among the group not knowing how to differentiate male and female crabs!  The gang poured scorn on my ignorance, “City girl!!!” The clue is to actually look at the underside of the crabs. Male crabs would have abdomens with triangular shape whereas female crabs have rounded ones.

 

 

This is a brutal way to accelerate the growth of the crabs! According to the tour guide, by dismembering the claws and legs of the crabs, the crabs will grow new legs + claws + shells which are larger in size and then the old shells will be shed. What if they can really feel pain?

Not again?!!

1^st injury: http://samanthalyy.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!239EEF92EDB1AB2C!743.entry

A month after the 1^st injury (even before the knee fully recovered), I got the 2^nd injury.

Happily went to Singapore even when the knee was still with bandage!

 

3^rd injury:

The company sent us to Lang Buana for a 2-day-1-night motivational camp.

To show our gratitude for the company for sending us to a camp which took only 20 minutes drive from our site office instead of overseas trip, colleagues and I were trying to snap photos which could manifest “leaps of joy” to be featured at the company’s bulletin.

Aftermath:

 

Bandage on the knee again! And I have to withdraw from the subsequent activities… Will I be crippled for life?
