Wow…it’s been a long time since I’ve been on a blogging-streak. And this is my 3rd post in 12 hours. Maybe because it’s a Sunday, and maybe it’s because I am really too tired to do anything else, since this morning’s trip to Sungai Gabai’s waterfall* completely used up my “mana”…

So what’s with the fire hydrant picture? I shot this picture near the Ampang Park LRT Station some time ago. What’s the function of a fire hydrant? Without it, the landscape would have looked much better. There won’t be a shiny yellow object jutting out like an eyesore where some inattentive pedestrians might just trip over it.

We never really appreciate their presence or even think about it; until when disasters strike. When a fire breaks out, the only thing that can help prevent further damage will be our insignificant little fire hydrants. And we’ll be hoping so much that these fire hydrant works before everything turns into smoke and flames. What if the fire hydrant is out of service during a fire hazard? Is there a guarantee?

Are there anything/anyone similar in your life where you’ve always been taking it for granted and only learn to appreciate when disasters strike? Parents? Friends? Or perhaps even your co-workers?

(For those of you who hasn’t heard of Sungai Gabai, it’s in the inner parts of Cheras, and it’s really hard to believe that there’s such a natural getaway without spending too many hours just to get to the destination.)
