What is money? One way of defining money would be a standard of currency, a way to make payment in exchange for some good or service. It is something we want more and more, a hidden and perhaps subconscious desire to attain and accumulate more of this pieces of paper engraved legal tender.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but money can get you lots of lovely things like chocolate chip ice cream (for me, differs for everyone), which is somewhat equivalent to happiness. The reason why we seek employment is so that we can earn our wages and in turn use it to get whatever it is that we want, or need. This is the conventional, legal and morally right way of obtaining money. What falls in the other side of the venn diagram involves criminal activity including but not limited to, robbery, fraud, smuggling and corrupted practices. The main reason behind what drives people to disregard the law and carry out the above mentioned actions may be to make a living.

Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve Part 3 : Wildlife

This is the third and final installment in the Sungie Buloh Wetland Reserve series. The focus of this post in on wildlife photographed at the reserve, namely the monitor lizard. But before that, let’s dive in on the bird like creature seen above. After some research and detective work, the bird above is revealed to be a Milky Stork (Mycteria cinerea), an endangered species native to Sumatra, Indonesia. Worldwide population figures are estimated at around 5000. As luck would have it, two of these Milky Stork appeared right at in the area of the viewing gallery where I merely happened to past by.
