I’m referring to nature.Yes. Trees, plants, the jungle and rolling plains of tea.

I spent the weekend in Cameron Highlands. It’s been 3.5 years since I’ve been there and it’s definitely been missed.

This time around, we decided to get out of Tanah Rata and cab to the ‘BOH’ Tea Plantation & Factory up in Mount Brinchang.

There’s something peaceful and calming about taking yourself out of urban life for a few moments in time and into lush green scenery for reflection, reading, relaxation, and conversation. As appreciative as I am of city-life, I do occasionally crave for beauty like this. The last time I allowed myself a breather to absorb the wonders of nature was a year and a half ago in Dublin. But only for a few moments as the bus honked us away from the serenity that is nature.

This time around, I got my fill.

4 hours of conversation, financial planning, reading Cormac McCarthy’s “The Road” and breathing fresh, unpolluted air can do wonders for your soul. Will definitely be back.
