A meaningful saturday

Last Saturday, we decided to head down to Noah’s Ark Natural Animal Sanctuary (NANAS). In case you've never heard of it before, it's a lodging place in Malaysia for abandoned/stray dogs, cats and horses who can't race anymore.


And all these are completed by a sporean man's effort. Definitely not easy for a man to handle 700 stray animals' food, poo and housing area. *Salute*


Our job is to go there, take a look and sayang the animals. I believe all animals, like humans, love human touch. It's the most direct way of expressing love. And love is what these animals don't always received.

On the van to JP to meet the rest of the volunteers.
Jyo's elder brother Keiji & gf Rosalind.... Farnie couple. Rosalind is also the one who invited us there as she has been a volunteer for quite sometime. :)
Boarding the coach
Jyo's younger bro Kenji & gf Liling.... Who's also a PE teacher-to-be and sun yan zi lookalike.
Happy us trying out my new S90 camera. still learning how to operate its many functions.
Arrived after a short 15mins trip from the customs. Weather was damn good.

♥ the greens! A very big piece of plantation land for the animals to roam about.
Happily greeted by ADHD dogs. First time i've seen SOOO many big dogs! :)

Dogs in their "kennels" avoiding the sun.
Innocently cute & friendly dogs who aren't weary of strangers.

A small hut was built to enable the doggies to rest and roam about freely. Also for guests to take a break and drink some water. Cool!

Acting silly :)

Saw a "xiao bai lian" dog.
The result of JAP women + delicious dog food + many many horny dogs. Wahaha

Taking a macro shot of a flying mantis :)
Super uber friendly dog who kept jumping up for a quick hug

This dog can't stop licking Kenji's face! Must be love @ first sight. Hahaha...
Jyo looks like he's gonna strangle this dog anytime (-_-")
Beautiful dogs who are abandoned becos' of irresponsible owners... Sigh*
...............

Came across a very old hagged dog with scary legs that look like dinosaur! Eww!

Definitely not a cat lover.... But decided to go in since i'm already there.

The 肥猫 that kept rolling around my feet! :P

The black dog is super camera-trained! Very well-natured too :)

We ♥ this pic :)
We were preparing to take a pic with the horse... When the horse turned around and stared right into my face! Damn scared la! Damn candid too! Wahahaha... :P

Can see how afraid i was and he had to lock his arms around me so i wouldn't run away! Hahaha....
As we were leaving, we saw this whitie with only 3 legs... Though crippled, it still ran around the fields and played with other dogs.... That somehow inspired me. 身残,但心不残。
The ADHD kid giving him the fourth leg. (-_-")
Stopped by this restaurant for seafood dinner. Was way tooooo hungry to snap photos of the food. But food there was REALLY good.
Making our way home and the ADHD kid is finally tired :)

Though at the end of the day, we smelled like dog's poo, but it was really a very enriching and meaningful trip. Will go again soon :)
