Tree Planting at Bukit Tagar

Muddied and sweaty from the sweltering heat of a mid March afternoon sun and standing knee deep in brackish water in a middle of a peat swamp is my kinda high. Many say I am in my element and from the smile on my face i can attest to that. I was part of a tree planting contingent organised by Eco Warriors to replant our depleting forest and in this case replanting a forest reserve specifically the Raja Musa Forest Reserve in Batang Berjuntai. It is depleted because it was illegally cleared for a plantation.
"Alamak! How can this happen?" you say. Well... some pegawai was blind to the clearing that took place i suppose. This happens throughout our jungles apparently. All you need do is lift your head up towards the hills or mountains and you will notice tracs of forest being cleared away. Somehow the pegawais can't see this. Strange isn't it?
Well i am glad i am joining this band of people called Eco Warriors to replant trees for our future generation and also to give mother earth a fighting chance...for US.

Silence

It has been months and months since i last blogged. No... i have not gone on a sabbatical nor have i been hiding in my cave meditating about life and shit like that. In fact in my silence, my life has been flowing.

It is in the flowing of my life that i have neglected my blog. I am now clawing my way back to this passion of mine by this insertion. Many are the stories i want to tell, many are the messages that i want to convey & many are the thoughts that i want to share. I can slowly feel it flowing through my veins now. Allow me then this moment to experience the flow of words that are awaiting a picture to tell their story.

I am back!
