Fraser's Hill - 15 Years Later

Just went to Fraser's Hill over X'mas wkend. The trip was really fun - maybe thanx to our cheerfulness. almost everyone we encountered were nice and friendly... maybe bcoz we were. and i think that was the best part - better than the muddy treks and cool air, or the endless bus rides. after 7 -8hrs on 5 buses, i'll nv think i spend too much time on a bus again.

but the trip's real "value" became evident to me only as i spent more time on the hills... i was visiting the same places i had been 15 yrs ago - when i was young, memories were fuzzy, and when my parents were young too. they also were there with my brother, before i came along, 28 yrs ago.

as i walked the same roads i had walked before, and the same roads my parents did as a young married couple, i realised that once passed, things will nv be the same again. 15 yrs had flown by so fast, and I would nv again be that young spoilt brat who didn't like our run down bungalow and wanted to ride horses round and round the paddock every day. and i don't know if my parents still have that energy to explore down every road in Fraser's Hill like they did 28 yrs ago.

We will nv be that young family again, that I know. But there are still more things to look forward to - hopefully, new additions to the family. new milestones, new excitements. and always that same affection for one another.

Time has flown by, and time will still fly by. I will bring us to Fraser's Hill again, if not next yr then the following. If anything, just for old times' sake.
