Mengkuang Dam

Has Nature ever been shocked seeing wrinkles on her face? It is somehow not answerable, but I find her in different faces that look familiar, but never be exact.

Sometimes a tint of orange and pink is used in the makeup, a neutral colour with bright reflection in some moments, she also covers her face with a layer of white veil when the veil is available; she has unlimited ways to keep her beautiful and charming, but has Nature ever been shocked seeing wrinkles on her face?

The use of cosmetic has been known since antiquity, she applied, and she cleansed, and all these repeated with improved formulations, but has Nature ever been shocked seeing wrinkles on her face?

Whenever she was shocked, I know, we should have been shocked, in an amplified magnitude.

Say Nonsense

"I like nonsense -- it wakes up the brain cells.”

I did not think the monkey thought alike. It was sure frightened by a nonsense who emerged from nowhere, and at the same time had strange equipment aiming at him. Though we were very far apart, it was still so cautious and decided to move away immediately.

I did not think this treehopper thought alike too. It seemed to me it was paralyzed by the continuous flashing. Its eye balls kept turning round and round. It should think what the hell this nonsense had done on him after recovering from the mind disruption.

How can I tell them that “it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope... and that enables you to laugh at all of life's realities"?

Cerok Tokun

At 6:50am, we looked too vague to each other.

At an elevation of 473m, I had been huffing and puffing for 2500m, Cerok Tokun had then awakened. We thus started off with some trivial things about daily life, and gossiped about girls who used to overtake me. I am not going to bore you with the details.

We also touched upon Mengkuang Dam that looks different every time I am here. The view can be misty, hazy, bright or gloomy.

I played back“The Butterfly Lovers' Violin Concerto” that I used to listen while winding through the jungle trail. “We will rock you” is nice but we were not ready for that.

And sunrise was beautiful with a portion of her shoulder being shown.

Life was even greater if I did bring along a thermos flask of green tea.

Little spirits

They began to emerge gradually; they jumped, they crawled and they flied from grasses to leaves.

I did not drop down into a rabbit hole like Alice did in the Wonderland, and Cerok Tokun was as normal and usual, but they were not visible normally. I need a password whereby Cerok Tokun is the interface between us. The password is "peace_of_mind".

The first one that came into sight was a little spirit that was a stranger and weird to me.

This fly looked so naked without the usual clothing printed with dark grey stripes.

This little one must be one of the many species of grasshopper that exist in this undergrowth.

They seemed to be living peacefully around these little purple flowers.

But who knows one of them maybe a predator or a prey to another.

Mengkuang Dam in the morning

Life is full of surprise; you will continuously receive one surprise after another.

When I climbed up onto the side of Mengkuang dam, morning sunlight scattered behind the clouds and imaged itself on the mirror-flat dam surface.

I could not resist the early gift, then I kept it in my hand phone camera. And it was part of me.

I could not let my jogging shoes felt like they had been left alone, so I started my an-hour jogging with the accompany of happiness and satisfaction.

At the moment of feeling exhausted, there came the second gift.

I saw a paint brush was drawing a line of signal on the sky, quietly.

Nobody was disturbed.

Someone would have his own reading and understanding.

Alice kept it in her eyes.

I kept it, again, in my hand phone camera.

The children who were watching kept it within their breath.
