You know you are getting old when:
1. Your 5 year old kid whizzes past you and never once lags behind you during a hike
2. He does not see the need to rest, catch a breath, drink or eat
3. He says he is bored because the going is so slow
4. He says YOU are so slow
5. He says he is not tired or thirsty or hungry when all you want to do is to lie down and die
And that was exactly what happened to Jimbo when he took Ryan for another hike up Broga Hill, one week after the previous one, because the latter wanted to ‘climb all the peaks’ as he did not get a chance to, the first time round.
This time, they did not go at an insanely early hour of the morning but rather, by the time Jimbo and son reached the foothill by car, the sun has already risen. Unlike the previous hike, this time there were only a handful of fellow hikers (it being a public holiday only in Negeri Sembilan) and therefore the hike was much more pleasant.
Here are some pictures from the hike:
It was a misty morning.
The crowd was sparse that day which was a good thing.
“Hurry up la, Daddy”, Ryan said to his half-dead very unfit father.
That’s Ryan’s feet on the upper left corner. It’s hard to capture a rapidly moving target!
