waterfall

after going through one of the busiest weekends thus far this year, one thing popped into my head: a jump into a nice, cool, waterfall in the morning, just after dawn. there was this one very small waterfall my family used to go on sundays-it's somewhere along the way to ulu yam. the water is refreshingly cool and so clear, you can see the bottom of the lake. the stones at the bottom are slippery and slimy with moss, with its beautiful shade of grey and dark green. the waterfall is just off the shoulder of a street, and all around is just nature-fat trees with big shady leaves, and the lake tapers off to a small, shallow river, leading underground to a big drain. it was so much fun for us kids to lie down there on the rocks with water rushing around us, sometimes hearing the sound of cars passing by the road above us.

wah lau, i'm getting old.
