Fish for a day!
Our mailbox was full of advertisements & flyers of warehouse sales everywhere. Starting on Thursday, which was a public holiday in both Selangor & federal territory and stretching over the weekend. Timberland, nike,adidas. LG, sanyo, samsung. I would have loved to go browsing, if it wasn’t for the nightmare of a traffic jam hanging over such a holiday. Shudder….
Instead, we opted to leave the kelang valley for a day and went fishing with some friends. We left early after loading our cargo into the car.
Ours: cucumber sandwiches, banana chocolate chip cake and mineral water.
His: fishing rod, assortment of baits, cans of redbull.
Hers: Torey Hayden’s One Child.It took about an hour to get there. The silence of the morning accentuated the scenery along the way. This was what we passed through on our way.
The highland air was cold & crisp, I inhaled bountifuls of it, preparing for the hike up. Walking up to the campsite on a dirt road flanked by high shrubberies, I could hear the gurgle of the water getting louder and louder until it became a roar. I took a peek through the folliage of trees and this was what greeted me.
A few minutes later, we arrived at our campsite. We took about fifteen minutes to set up camp and off the guys went to fish while the ladies supervised the children. They had shrieked with delight at the sight of the waterfall, and was impatient to get in. As were the adults.
The water and the rocks.

Catch of the day
I sat on the rock with my book and feet dangling in the cold water. I daydreamed about a house with a nearby stream I had a good day. I wish for more.
~Hope you had a great holiday too!~
