am here every month on sat or sunday. i fulfil part of my childhood and undergrad dream- to study more about and handle live animals in a life-giving way... practise a little bit of zoology which i failed to take during my uni days.
that's a malayan stick insect. similar to the ones found in undisturbed forests over here. i get alot of fun getting visitors to spot them on the branch display. my guests register a childlike delight when they are able to identify these masters of disguise brought out for interaction and display.
that's my favourite queensland titan, found only in australia. harmless and defenceless, it rears its abdomen like a scorpion if disturbed. visitors hazard a good guess all the time. and the brave ones move on to put them on their shirts, caps or face. some adults squeal away but their children become their teachers on that appointed hour or so, they claim.
i spend these sundays unpacking the lore that hides in forest songs. we master terms like dimorphism, mimicry, parthenogenesis. live and play witness to the kid, tickling in us all.

Hi Mr Koh, there was this song you played to your J1 GP classes before you left for further studies in 2006. I remembered liking it a lot but i couldnt remember the exact lyrics. Something about "going the distance just to see you smile" maybe? I wonder if you could remember and let me know the title of the song? Thankyou.

It is entitled Sunrise of Your Smile by Michael Card. Type it on utube and u will find it. Google it for lyrics.
