One fine day @ FRIM


It was quite a relief to see the clear morning blue sky wide open in the horizon after a week of continuous downpour. The heavy downpour in the eastcoast has not disappointed the keropok lekor-nation to celebrate their annual event of "maing boh". I purposely missed the event this year as last year I had a very wet experience. I was stranded in Kuantan for two days during that watery festival.




So this morning we head to FRIM as planned for our family gathering. For a season traveller, FRIM is quite wellknown as a popular stopover especially for naturalist. You can still find big trees and green jungle with nice waterfalls for a nice dip. It took us 20 minutes to reach this place from our house, so by Kay El driving standard it is considered a very close picnic destination. I am quite sure many Kay El inhabitants don't really aware the existence of this nice place. I am not sure though, if the glamorous wedding of Maya Karin that took place in this serene habitat has in a way ring a bell to these Kay El people.

Kids seemed to really enjoying this outing. They didn't really mind soaking themselves in the water for hours until their toes become numb. My bum was also starting to become numb from spending hours sitting on the rock watching them splashing and wading in the pool. After some serious persuasion to get them all out of the water, we finally packed up and head back home with a minor sun burn on the skin.

Friends are forever

Can you imagine how life would be if we don't have any friend at all in this entire world. I don't think I can live with that. Life will be so meaningless I presume. We might as well become deaf or blind and live in our Jurassic life.

I am a person who enjoyed good companies, good laugh and good camaraderie. I am glad that I still have friends who value our friendship until now. I still have regular contact with some of my friends of whom I 've known for more than 20 years. These are my friends who do not judge the book by its cover, do not come to your BBQ gathering because you drive a flashy bimmer, do not bad-mouth you at the back and do not mind at all if you want them to queue for you to buy an icescream. It was simply and purely for the sake of sharing the mutual friendshipness.

As I am a very simple and cool gentleman, I don't send out application forms for the prospect of getting ideal friends. Anybody which came out to this world thru their mother's womb can be my friend as long as they honor the value of comradeship. Regardless of what color they sprayed their hair to cover the white one, where they spend their night with their wife or wives, how they have cheated in their exam to get to where they are now or when they get their driving license is not of my concern. Everybody with good intention is most than welcome.

Tommorrow we are going to FRIM, our usual family hideout for our regular family reunion. I hope it is not raining tommorrow. People says diamonds are forever, but it seems our bond is stronger than ever.
