Raccoon sighting in Siglap!

I went to Mel's apartment after my walk today to get some DVDs from her and we saw a raccoon!

The animal climbed up a gate, jumped to a pillar more than its body length away, strutted across the wall over our heads and disappeared up a tree.

"Look at that cat!" I exclaimed when I saw it climbing up the gate.

"That is so not a cat loh!" replied Meliza. "THAT is a ferret!"

I went back home, googled for ferrets and realised that it is not a ferret but a freaking raccoon!

It looked something like this. Cute and cuddly!




The sky was clear and I also got a mini astronomy lesson from Mel.

The Orions Belt looks like this, and we also saw what looked like to be the Southern Cross.
We saw a bright orange star, not blinking or moving, but according to Mel, we are not supposed to be able to differentiate star colours with our naked eye.
Maybe its an UFO woah! Heh Heh!!!
