Mr Crocodile, where are you?

In this normally peaceful Bulatan park and man-made lake, someone sighted a crocodile. In fact, my friend who has been walking this park for the past many years claimed that he saw the crocodile last year when it was still quite small.
But how does this crocodile ended up over here, no one really knows. One thing for sure, the crocodile was sighted again a few days ago...
... resting on this abandoned oil well. The authority has since set up bait and net hoping to trap this smart 4-feet long croc! But will the reptile actually take the bait? No one again know. One thing we also know for sure is that this lake is full of fish and the croc may prefer fresh food!
The authority is now releasing the water and hope to find the croc....
The water level has since drop by about a foot! Will the croc simply hide in this hole? Or in the bush? Or climb up a tree (if it can)?..
Or hide under this platform? Whatever, I wish the authority luck in catching this reptile.

Bulatan Park, Miri

Bulatan is a popular spot for all health freaks in Miri. I was told that there are already people jogging as early as 4:00AM. Each round is about 0.75KM. For us, we tried to walk after sending the children to school, ie, 6:45AM. In the evening, there are even more people jogging or walking in circle!
The local council maintained the park very well. It is clean and neat. Full mark for them!
Then every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, this group of praise dancers will be there doing "exercise" as according to the music. They start at 6:30AM and end at 7:30AM. I was the only man there! Somehow, men shy away but don't underestimate this ... it is worse than walking!
The serene atmosphere of the park is perfect for walking. When the sunset, another group of people will occupy all the benches to let the hearts talk.
The path is well protected from the strong ray of the sun.
Another perfect place for a family to show the care and love of nature!
There are thousand of these fish...
Of course, we meet familar faces and friends here! Mr KK Lau, my ex colleague.
Mr. Leo, a runner! He opens a makan store in the park. So, do visit him and buy something from him when you feel that your jaws need exercise. He is a friendly person, always smiling!
Mr. Ting SC is a regular. He is also my ex-colleague.
Of course, my other half. Without her, I will be sitting in front of the computer.
