“God draws near to the broken hearted. He leans toward those who are suffering. He knows what it feels like to be wounded and abandoned.” ― John D. Richardson

Swiftlet farm. An old shophouse in Chenderiang, Perak. It has been converted into a giant birdhouse. Swiftlets enter through the many small holes in the brick wall. Inside the big birdhouse, the temperature and humidity are tightly controlled to be at the optimum level for the swiftlets to build their nests. The nests are very valuable as they are a prized delicacy in Asia.

Lata Kinjang, Perak, Malaysia

Halfway into my road trip, I stopped at a popular recreational spot. As it was in the middle of a working week, I had the place to myself.

As the weather was unpredictable, I did not climb to the top of the Falls as I didn't want to be swept down the slippery rocks when a water surge suddenly arrives.

I found company while trekking up the slopes of Lata Kinjang's hills. Some butterflies were busy nourishing themselves. If you notice, there are two with pseudo heads at the opposite end of their true head.

Standing in the middle of one of many rows of tall mature oil palm trees. Sometimes I get goosebumps just listening to a cacophony of sounds the unseen creatures make all around me.
