Pelindung Hill, finally, after almost a year...

Have been lazying for so many weekends that I'd failed to wake up early (not so early actually, it was 7.30am, not able to join Sharma's 5.00am club still).

It is of course, my precious weekend. And I've made full use of my weekend today. Managed to wake up 'early', got ready and head off to Pelindung Hill. After the fireflies sighting trip last night in Cherating, I'm very sure that I must get in touch with the nature even more. Thus, kept my promise to myself to wake up no matter how, and go for the walk uphill.

It was cloudy, it drizzled, and finally, it rained... But well, it was all good. For the beautiful sound of nature, the cry of the crickets, the chirping morning birds (this reminded me of the song by Cat Steven, 'Morning has broken'), and the precious sound of the rain in the rainforest.

I know, it isn't quite a rainforest, but it is remaining as original as it could be, I can't complain more, despite of the telecommunication towers that have been built for so many years up there. Still, I get to get in touch with the mother nature very closely and enjoyed the incredible chill in the morning! Love that - after so long...

As it started to rain when I was getting closer to the mid junction part, the rain started to pour in. And that was when I started to grab my phone and recorded the sound of nature, and some photos. Soothing, cooling. It could be incomparable, but it sure was as good as being in the bed and snuggling in the blanket!

Walking in the rain, with sweat all over the body, I can't really differentiate which part was the rain water and which was the sweat. Silly me, of course they blended. And it was this kind of feeling that keep me feeling alive! Sometimes, I must say, the best things are just around the corner. Just apply rule #1, learn to appreciate! Sure enough, it depends a lot on what is one craving for at that very moment. Anyhow, it was a fun-tastic Sunday morning walk uphill ^.^
