Imagine my luck, the adventure freak in me and in a lost world.....being secluded from the outside world for weeks.....Yup...just couldn't resist the the invitation to join my buddies, trekking, camping and mixing with the indigenous people who hardly know any other world other than theirs. Yes, the adrenaline flowing with the thrill plus hair raising knowledge that any moment, there's a possibility of danger lurking (even in our so called civilize society, danger is everywhere) or having the chance to spot some rare species in the thick surrounding greenery of hundreds of years, slowly wipe out by encroaching civilization of modern world, lost forever one day, never be known by future generation...
No computer, no electricity, no air-cond, no McD, No KFC, no Pizza Hut, no shopping.....and yet a wonder that I managed to survive on limited change of attire, untreated water from the source of stream or rain, eating a range of simple and some weird menus, music ranging from cicadas, birds, frogs, raindrops, gurgling stream...songs sang by the native faunas, in a backdrop tones of gray, green and brown. The people we met were simple in wanting, unlike the society we know.....actually there're a lot to learn from them...their simple lifestyle is being threaten by the greediness of our society who live behind the veil of development. Couldn't we find a way to co-exist together ? The grim reality, it's a lost fight against the powerful and the rich, conservation versus development. It's only a matter of time before everything will be lost, gone forever.....a thing of the past.....Too bad, I'm more of a guilty party since I chose to live in this society of mine which play a part in the devastation of nature. Feel like a hypocrite...
Prescription : Be thankful for good things that come our way
