What a wonderful world!
By Toh HL (my former Physics teacher)


My fellow hikers go scampering up the steep incline of Batu Putih once or twice a week, with the intention of staying healthy and fit… And I say to myself, what a wonderful world.
There are many areas of the shore in Tg Tuan, where we have to devise our own plans to avoid getting wet… And I say to myself, what a wonderful world.
We see trees of green, and we know they are absorbing CO2 and generating O2… And I say to myself, what a wonderful world.
We observe the mangrove trees, with its unique breathing roots and prop roots to survive with salt and wind of the sea… And I say to myself, what a wonderful world.
Occasionally, we see gorgeous lotus flowers growing in abundance when we hike.. . And I say to myself, what a wonderful world.
While we were busy hiking, panting n proceeding with caution, we could not help but observe little insects busy pollinating flowers in a symbiotic relationship… And I say to myself, what a wonderful world.

My hikes are a little tamer but still part of the wonderful world we too often take for granted.

I walk around the same neighbourhood every evening admiring beautiful nature and people, too! … but on even and levelled roads! 😅
