Observation on Life at the (new-for-me) Tasik






Other than jogging or walking around the lake (or reading, practice drama-scenes, photo shoots, cycling, row-training etc.) the next most favourite activity for many 'visitors' is to feed the fishes and turtles! And not to be left hungry, the monitor lizard too (iguana is the mini version while komodo dragon (biawak raksasa??) is the largest of the same species)!

I no longer wonder what happen to any pieces of stale bread here on campus, they even feed them the whole loaf plus an assortment of other things (like a packet of marukku???)! Talk about business opportunity…

And, I’ve observed a foreign guy for a couple of time already, who came in the evening – maybe he works in a restaurant or something like that coz instead of throwing at leisure, small pieces of bread (girls did this alongside their macho boyfriends too) – and out from his plastic bag into the lake: the pink and white but not-so-little fluffy apam!!! Wooohooo!!! Going by the enthusiastic reaction which means ‘grabbing as much as you can’ amongst the fishes, turtles & biawaks – it’s a welcome treat!
