kota tinggi waterfalls

inspired by Ian Wright's Globe Trekker series on Malaysia last night, i was up bright and early today and took a road trip down Kota Tinggi with DH. half the trip was surprisingly scenic as i drove further in, towards the waterfalls. there were some plantations and wild monkeys along the way too.after about 2 hours of driving, we finally arrived at our destination!i huffed and puffed all the way up those stone steps to get to the upper streams where the water was cooler and more importantly...cleaner.wow the water shiok shiok! it was quite cold, and it reminded me of the times where i had to do ice pool rehab at the Sports Council whenever i suffered an injury. haha. those were the times man. but the fishes were quite irritating, they kept poking. eee!


what a great way to spend a hot sunny afternoon. submerged in cold running water and to be embraced by nature. i felt happiness during the drive back home to Singapore. :) i hope i continue to find happiness in every little simple things in life. everyone should take some time off to smell the roses by the roadside. :) don't be too hard on yourself!












oh but one sad thing happened. i lost one side of my puma flip flops i bought in Taiwan!!! one monent i had it with me and then Poof! it was gone. i could only watch on helplessly as the water currents push it away...it disappeared right before my eyes almost instantly. grr...should have kept it tightly 'kiapped' in between my toes! so i was left barefooted for the rest of the trip. so paiseh lor, eating in a restaurant without shoes. hahaha. but ok lah, it was quite amusing. when i came out of the vehicle (barefooted) to open up the boot for the customs officer to check. he said: "wah what happened? you kena robbed ar?" :P what an experience indeed.
