A 'Koi' story.

So someone decided they were tired of rearing their pet ornamental fishes in their house, and decided to dump them into this pond at the foothill of Bukit Wawasan  While I'm sure the big pond is a more ideal home (to the fishes) , the change must be somewhat intimidating.

Mr. Tambourine man

So we were driving home on a sleepy afternoon when the radio station started playing a song that caught instant recognition with my other half. No I've not heard it before ( much to her surprise!). It had a catchy tune/ simple words reminiscent of songs from the 60s , a period when the world was much

Jesus' Sandals (Melaka camp 2017)

I made several mental ‘notes’ to take my comfortable slippers along to the tNCC family camp (Melaka 2017),  but was let down as I arrived at my room realizing I had left my comfortable flip-flops back in Puchong.

I was too late to say my goodbye. His body was already wrapped up in white cloth and was laid on the ubiquitous hospital bed in the open ward at GH;  I stared at it for the longest time trying to put in perspective our friendship that had spanned almost two decades. He was an enigma of sorts. 

Lesson from the Trail

So here are some important life lessons gleaned from spending time on ‘the trail’. It gives me a perfect time to reflect, and yes to add to my personal collection of life inspirations.

So here goes..

The 'Wawasan Hill'

So It’s been a little more than a month and half since I took up ‘hiking’ seriously.  I stumbled on this hill accidentally which coincidentally is located just 5 minutes away from where I live. And I have to say, I am thoroughly enjoying my hiking activity in this secondary forest (which is actually a part of the Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve) owned and maintained by UPM.  In the past, I have always enjoyed a host of physical activities which are mainly competitive in nature, and tend to be more ‘company’ centered. (Badminton, football, etc  etc  maybe I need competition to be a driving factor).  I guess doing activity in groups is always more fun.

But I have to say that hiking alone by myself and enjoying this solo activity has been quite a revelation to me.
