Comments Off Walk For Days
When the fiance and I went back to kampung last month, we managed to do a little walk in the jungle leading to the Mahua Waterfall. The photo above is how the pathway leading up to the waterfall look like. It can be slippery on some paths, so it’s better to wear sport shoes if you like to walk fast, or if you insist on wearing slippers (like what I did!) you just have to walk slow, otherwise you would risk yourself of slipping.
Anyways, pathways like the above reminded me of a story my dad used to tell us (which I then told the fiance about it). When my dad was still a boy and was studying alone in a missionary school in Kota Kinabalu, sometimes my late grandpa would give him a surprise visit now and then.
That’s not the fascinating part though.. what amazed me was that my late grandpa would walk from his kampung somewhere in Tambunan ALL THE WAY to KK.. which took him a couple of days trip! Can you guys imagine that?? Walking in the jungle.. bare feet.. without any actual sealed road or having any mode of public transportation to KK available (like we have now?).. and a journey that takes a few days just to reach KK??
The above story is one of the few stories that I know about my grandpa, and it is certainly my favourite. It just shows how deep a father’s love to his son.. and to me,a very touching story.
But not like now, where practically everything is available to us, like proper roads, public transportation, and own cars.. We’re spoiled, I tell you! Spoiled! Lol.. How many of you would do that for your son..? Or even go back to kampung to visit your parents there, hmm??
That reminds me, my car insurance is expiring next month.. gotta be on the lookout for a car insurance company!
