Monkeys while hiking up to 47 rest area from Penang Botanical Gardens

Image
Usually the monkeys at the Penang Botanical Gardens are the brown haired type (I don't know what species name they are) but last few years there are these black haired monkeys start to appear. They seems harmless and they don't attack humans or eat trash from trash cans. They actually eat leaves and like to be on the trees. Compare to the predominately brown haired type, they are vicious especially when you have food in your hands and they would snatch it at every opportunity they would have.  Usually you can spot them while hiking from a little jungle (steps) trek from inside the Botanical Gardens to "47" (thats what the local calls it) rest area.

And then once a while you might find some of the sports commentaries to be annoying and wish that you can turn it off. Well, actually you can! If you have the 5.1 sounds system setup in your living room of course. This is how you can do it. All you need to do is to disconnect the center sound channel. Yep you heard it right. It would be even better if your receiver has the menu function to disable it without physically disconnect it. The center sound channel is usually reserved for dialog and commentary in sports channel. Source: Reddit
