Life on Cameron Highland

Looking out a window in the house of an Orang Asli

Gone away to Cameron Highland early this morning to meet a few people there today, some how this trip feels more like an escape from city life.

Being with the people there is like getting high on drugs, everyone is so happy and relax there that I got no option but to surrender whatever is ticking in my mind because it doesn't matter anymore since I am now at Cameron Highland.

Almost there

Spider was here!

This is a wheelchair

A standard wheelchair

I have a wheelchair at home. How come I got a wheelchair at home? Let's just say a 2 wheel scooter is no match for a lorry.

Well... the real reason why it is here is because a relative have a bad leg and needed to be on a wheelchair for some time however she refuse to been seen on a wheelchair as if it's a curse.

One of the silly things that I do sometimes is sit in the wheelchair just to have a feel of what it's like, when I was younger I used to think it's fun to sit in a wheelchair and move around without the need to walk, it's no fun at all going places is like going trough an obstacle course. Stairs and platforms becomes out of bound, going from point A to point B needs alot of consideration and I managed to get myself stuck in the toilet.
I've asked a few disabled people and they told me that when they started using the wheelchair, it was't easy to move around at all, it takes alot of practice to get used to the thing but the thing is not everyone knows this, the standard wheelchair itself is not light, it is ass heavy and takes alot of energy to move around in one. Well at least now that you've read this you'ld know.

Actually you can have fun in any given situation.

When everything is wrong...

Sungei Perting Fall Trip

Saturday morning, the trekking group meet up at Seng Keong's place all ready to go in to the jungle to feed leeches and find a waterfall. However one thing wasn't decided yet... where to go?
After a very short decision making, we found ourselves having breakfast at Bukit tinggi village ready to trek to Sungai Perting Falls.
The group consist of:

• Seng Keong (Fisherman accountant)
• Yee Leng (SK's GF)
• De Way (unnamed)
• Aurelius (Crocs lover)
• Voon Loong (Lost Slipper to river)
• Linus (Frog)
• Chen Kim (Karete Girl from Penang)
• Justin (Penang dude)
• and myself (Spider)

The trek there is quite easy, we spent less then an hour and there were only some parts we needed to climb over or under some trees that fell because of a landslide.
The place itself is beautiful, the spot we rest and kept our things is just like like a sandy beach facing the waterfall, the plungpool is enormous and really deep, it's an excellent place to swim as long as you don't go too near the fall, I regret not bringing my goggles! It would have been nice to explore the bottom of the pool since the water is clear and there were plenty of drift wood at the bottom, will bring one on my next trip.

The World I Know...

I had lost my understanding on humanity, every single day there is murder, rape, killing, kidnapping and other crimes in the news. I couldn't understand why would human beings would continuously harm their own kind, most animals wouldn't even harm their own kind to ensure the survival of their own species. Have we as human beings forgotten this simple rule and become selfish for our own benefit? It is already bad enough that we are still TRYING to save or preserve our environment, still there are people out there harming others. (Smokers INCLUDED! Yes you!)

Is there a way to make it all stop without the destruction of mankind?
I don't know what else can be done, so while some kid somewhere play with his xbox, or while some guy complaining his car isn't sporty enough, or while some politician is getting VIP threatment just because he have a title before his name, while they pretend that all the trouble the world face will not affect them or their love ones. I'll pray...
