Family outing

Today me, my mom, a couple of my uncles, aunts and cousins went for a family outing to a Waterfall in Ulu Yam. Ulu Yam is in a district called Gombak and it’s around 30 minutes drive from KL. We departed from our house real early and had a pit stop for a dim-sum breakfast before proceeding.

At the waterfalls; the air was chilling, the monkeys was eyeing our food basket, the sound of the water running was soothing and there was RUBBISH strewn all over the picnic spots! Why can’t people take extra caution when they’re disposing their waste!? :shock: Anyway, we found a spot which is a bit cleaner and dive right into the water once we’re settled! :-)

After a couple of hours dipping at the waterfall, the crowd got larger as more and more visitor arrived and hence we started packing.

Next destination: Batu Caves

After our visit to the waterfall, we made a short trip to Batu Caves just to sightsee since it’s on our journey home. Batu Caves is a famous tourist destination and well known for it’s monkeys and the 272 steps leading to the main cave. This is where the crowd divides into 3 groups: the older group (who decides to sit and wait), the teen group (who was first to hit the steps) and the really young group (who won’t sit down quietly and tagged along with the teen group).

So, after a tiring and gruesome climb; we reached the main cave! Yay! Snap a couple of photos, saw more monkeys, climb a bit more stairs and it’s down the 272 steps again…

It was definitely a tiring afternoon and after stopping for lunch at my grandmother’s house we got back home and then it’s ZZzzZZZzzzZZz…. time for me to catch back on some sleep! ;-) Cheers~!
