I had a wonderful and fabulous weekend last week. A trip to Mount Pulai water fall, a 15 minutes drive from home, yoga class on Saturday; peace forum and teaching kids on Sunday. Kept myself busy and basked in these activities with joy and bliss!
The usual monthly trip to Mount Pulai takes less 20 minutes drive. Taking left turn at a trunk road just before Kulai toll plaza directs the journey heading towards Pekan Nenas. At the foot hill of this strategic mountain, lies kampung Sri Gunung Pulai and Gunung Pulai palm estate. The famed Kem Bina Negara also situated here to.
Mount Pulai waterfall had been closed for public for some years now. I had to excess by walking through the back way of kampung houses along the stream. The scenery was serene and quite. I loved listening the birds chirping and crickets screeching the lush rain forest mountain. Listening to rushing water passing the boulders and fallen tress cools down my stressed mind and body.
Colorful butterflies pollinating from flower to flower, water dragon cruising on surface of the stream water, beetle camouflaging on tree bark. Wild guava tree bearing flowers and shinny fruits, attracts my eyes to pick one and taste
A family of monkey roams by the stream collecting wild berries. I just sat down observing them and continued my ganga sadhana- a mental cleansing ritual I practiced once a month for the past couple of years now.
The wild berries, a small hairy blue in color has sweet sour taste when eaten. I used to pick plenty of wild berries in the secondary jungle during my scouting days. The sweet flavour can enhanced with adding milk and honey. A nutritious food indeed!!
By noon, more visitors started to stroll in and I decided end my exciting picnic in the woods and prepared to attend yoga class later in the evening.
