You know what I like the best part when it comes to go places? I like the part where there less people to be seen around. Even better if there’s people at all! Hahaha. Actually I’m just making a point here. Certain places you go you might wish there’s a lot of people and I do believe sometimes you don’t. For example: i) Fairs, exhibitions, and expos of course you wish there’s a lot of people which indicates how successful and interesting that event could be. ii) Restaurants. I wish not too many otherwise your wait for the orders will take more longer. iii) Cinemas. I wish there’s NO people at all so that I won’t have to stand in long queues and the best part is: I get to choose the best seat! iv) Beaches. Too many people means you have to find other spot or otherwise ending up your own resort swimming pool! Haha. But the main thing is a nature for human to be alone and not to be alone. Have you come to a scene where you would shout,”Leave me alone!”? Or perhaps mutter “I’m booooring”? This come where you need to be with someone you want to be with or just be alone with yourself. Both feelings, believe me, offers truly different feelings.

I remember I came to Taman Alam during my teenage where the whole school like 400 students (yes, my secondary school has less student because it’s a residential school), we would walk about 3 hours tour around this sanctuary. Taman Alam is located in Kuala Selangor. It offers a stop for birds’ migration from the north of China if I wasn’t mistaken before they continue down under to Australia. My friends and I went under the supervision of our teacher hiking around the sanctuary. The feeling was a bit different because along the way, we are teasing ourselves, talk nonsense but we did enjoy panoramic view. As young kid, of course you get excited to see all the living creature at their best habitat.

But now as I went back again. I came here with my dad accompanied by the tour guide, the feeling was different. Of course the panoramic view is still there, but again, it comes with a different feeling. You’ll find yourself puzzled by the nature and feel very calm. I like this kind of exotic locations. The tour guide, which coincidently my old friend’s sister , explained to us about the ecological, biological aspects which I have no idea as an engineering graduate. My dad was a graduate in geography studies back in University Malaya so he pretty much keep up with the conversation with the tour guide. We would walk about 15 minutes to the 30 meter watch tower and the whole view can bee seen. The tour guide told us that they receive frequent visit from the Japanese because they have extensive sponsorship in ecology studies. Some foreigners would come during the bird migration to study and took photographs. Other than that, student will come to camp at near entrance camp site where they have toilets and chalets too.

Having no people around gave me a time to think and look everything around. I bet this is the places that people like me (I like camping and outdoor okay) would wish there’s not many people around. Now and then I was there I learn a lot and have great deal of time. Thus, this are few places that you wish there are less people to be seen around! It was superb!

“...Do you see the fields beneath the clouds?
With stars as trails to lead you out,
Can you sense the pain that?s everywhere?
And if you try you?ll never care,
And the love you had when you were young
Is right outside for all to come,
Because your life is full of pure desire
A place so gloriously wired…”
