Something for Mother Earth

Yup. We did get something done :)


See previous post for more background.


We made our way to Ulu Yam at around 11am after having breakfast near Batu Caves. Well, our initial plan was to leave the house by 9am but being human...and Chinese..time is flexible :) Only left my house close to 10am. Took our own sweet time to have a yummy breakfast.



The a slow drive towards the target destination and had coffee at Ulu Yam town at the same time get some directions to the waterfall.



At about 11 plus we were driving leisurely towards one of the many waterfalls as directed by the coffee shop owner. Quite a narrow road but manageable.






Arrived at Hutan Lipur Sungai Sendat about 20 mins later.




The sign says.."Cleanliness of the forest recreational park is our responsibility"

Unfortunately...if one looks carefully..you will find sights like THIS:

and THIS :

and THESE:

No kidding..we actually did get down to business..collecting rubbish!

The task itself wasn't that difficult.,..but it is easy to give up feeling dejected when you see rubbish all over ..everywhere you turn your head to. We collected three bag full in about an hour and that's probaly only going to cure 0.001% of the potential damages. So..why the hard work??

A chinese woman remarked that "we are collecting rubbish to sell" . @#$

Another curious Malay man asked us what we are doing...I remarked bluntly..saying "NAK JUAL"

Having said that..we are happy and satisfied with our little do. Been talking for years about doing 'something' . We finally got down to do it together despite our busy schedule. Yay!

I dare not commit nor state if we will be doing it anything similar again.

For now..I'm just happy we gave a little something back to Mother Earth. Something money can't buy :)

Let's hope we will have trees and clean water for many many centuries more ....

BY THE WAY...we did have some good food.... hee heee...
