Reason #2 - I have free wireless internet connection here
. Puncak Inn! RM80 without breakfast...not cheaper than Jelai, but Jelai was locked up (but somehow i can open it... 
), nobody around at reception and looked really deserted.....(thanks to Con for the alternative recommendation). Room here is way smaller compared to Jelai...but is really clean (now, anyway...it was recently refurbished). Reason #3 - Weather here is super cool nice....
Ok ok...final reason - I was resting in my car and suddenly I saw this thing gliding towards me....I looked up through my sunroof (luckily it was opened), and wow...it was a colugo.....gliding right above my car over my sunroof....what a wonderful and lucky sighting to be able to watch this golden animal glide past so closely with wide open wings(skins
)...the feeling of watching it was just amazing...ok...ok..i am being over sentimental here...but it was truly a special sight for me... 
....I would have added another reason to be happy if I could shoot it gliding by....but the moment happened too fast for me to react....anyway, I got out of my car, saw the colugo clinging on to a nearby tree.....grabbed my lens, grabbed my tripod.....it looked at me setting up my camera....very curious, i think......
....click..click...click...he didnt like it then, and leaped very quickly away up to the top of the tree and out of my sight.......a great end to my day......(didnt see much birds though..
