we were on our way to the reservoir (totally blanked on the name) for a sunday stroll through the forest with our fine companion, otto. he was very excited to be out of the normal "varsity park condo walk", trying to greet everyone walking by with slobbery kisses and bubbles.... when these monkeys appeared.
now most think, aw neat, a real monkey up close and personal. NO! these monkeys were not friendly and wanted otto nowhere near their pack... is it a pack of monkeys? heard of monkeys? maybe family of monkeys?
the obvious, king monkey, came up to otto snarling and hissing... i bet you were wondering what we did huh? well dirk had otto. he quickly picked him up like a little kid and began to run the other way... this only aggitated the monkey more and it ran after...
mind you tons of singaporeans are walking by, laughing, at this point with the big ang mo man running away from a monkey while holding his (HUGE dog)... they all think otto is the biggest dog they have ever seen, even when their dog is bigger... stupid!
the monkey eventually gave up... dirk was the winner i guess, didn't even give otto a chance to defend his honor. actually the monkey looked pretty fierce and i am not sure what we would have done if it had jumped on otto...

yes... we are crazy tourist, who were very naive to all the disease this monkey could have had or the fact it could have turned on us and given us rabies... awww to be young, and newly expated... neither of us will ever go near another monkey!

Yep, after meeting the mean ones at Uluwatu, I'll never be the naive tourist again. Those things get scary!! But Otto could have taken him...
Oh my gosh, so scared for Otto.
